Ramming Speed have begun streaming their new song “Don’t Let This Stay Here” via Metal Injection. The Kurt Ballou (of Converge) produced track is featured as the a-side on a new limited edition 7″ and will also appear on their forthcoming studio album that is being lined up for a fall release. An exclusive b-side “The Wraith” is also featured on the 7″, which is now available both physically and digitally. The group said of the new track:
“‘Don’t Let This Stay Here‘ is our reaction to the Edward Snowden leaks that confirmed the U.S. government’s saving of all our phone calls, text messages, emails and web searches in giant server farms. To us, that is fucking terrifying and unacceptable, and this is our rallying cry against it.
The citizens building the first top secret atomic bombs in Oak Ridge, Tennessee were told: ‘What you see here, what you do here, what you hear here, when you leave here, let it stay here.’ This song is for the NSA employees that question what they are doing. It’s for the American civilians feeling betrayed by the breaches of privacy, and it’s for the people at our shows singing along and sharing our frustration. Don’t Let This Stay Here. Spread the word.”
