Hi, it's been a while, but it's about time to post about Redneck Rampage again. We released a new album called "Caveman Chronicles" in June 2018.

I'll give some more background and link than I did in 2013 when we released our debut album.

Redneck Rampage are a Southern metal band, formed in 2007 in Räpina, a small town in South-Estonia. The current line-up consists of Karl Nagel on vocals, Indrek Kõnnussaar and Allan Arjokesse on guitars, Enriko Tooding on bass guitar and Martin Jüssi on drums. They have released two albums, Shotgun Inc. (2013) and Caveman Chronicles (2018).

In their early days, the band defined their musical style as ?groove metal", mainly influenced by acts like Lamb of God, Pantera and Children of Bodom. In 2009, they released their first EP ?To Hell With..." which featured extreme metal vocals, fast guitar picking and double-bass drumming. The EP was well received by audience in Estonia, bringing Redneck Rampage forward on the Estonian metal scene. They actively played club concerts and rock music festivals in Estonia, such as Amme Rock and Rock Ramp.

The band continued to write new material, and released self-produced videos for new songs ?Get Your Guns" and ?Gravity". These videos brought international attention to the band, with ?Gravity" having hit over 250,000 views on YouTube. Compared to the material on To Hell With, new songs were slower and heavier, featuring clean vocals and thick dropped guitar sounds.

In 2012, Redneck Rampage started recording their first full-length album while actively performing on music festivals and club shows in Eastern Europe. They performed in Poland and Hungary in August 2012 with other Southern metal acts like J.D. Overdrive, Death Denied and Stereochrist, and were highly acclaimed by the Southern metal scene in those countries.

Their debut album Shotgun Inc. was released in April 2013, and, thanks to worldwide online distribution, was well received by fans globally, notably in Estonia, Poland, United States and Brazil. The album featured Alar Kriisa, a renowned Estonian harmonica player, giving a bluesy mood to ballads ?Solitude pt. 2" and ?Joe". Alar has also designed the album covers and booklets for both Redneck Rampage's albums, as well as graphics for most of the band's merchandise.

The band started recording their second full-length album, Caveman Chronicles, in late 2016. The album was released in June 2018, and has received positive feedback from fans and audience. Caveman Chronicles has a diverse range of sounds and influences. The album is essentially a mix of all band members' music tastes, combined to a format compatible with RR's earlier material. You can still hear hard-hitting groove metal riffs, double-bass drumming and thundering vocals, side by side with airy country licks and experimental guitar effects.

The band continue to promote Caveman Chronicles in 2018, and plan to release an unplugged EP in early 2019, featuring new songs as well as unplugged remakes of tunes from previous albums.
