Atlanta’s stoner metal trio Hot Ram return with a long awaited EP »Near Fall« and premiere the first single »Black Weed« on Outlaws Of The Sun!

Hot Ram’s »Near Fall« EP is for anyone that’s been on the ropes with little hope, but digs deep and finds the passion for dusting yourself off and not giving up!

Hot Ram is an Atlanta based stoner metal band formed in 2016. It was during this time that Billy Konkel, Hot Ram founder, while working as a sound man in local Atlanta’s clubs, realized that he needed to be on the other side of the microphones and that he had a lot of music to write. Konkel enlisted Gordon White (Tetsu Nakasaka a local bassist/guitar player to play drums. Gordon brought along Dee Flores on bass and together they recorded 2017’s EP »Leave A Beautiful Corpse«, 2018’s »Where Light Goes To Die«, and 2021’s »Electric Medicine«.
