Metal music has been making a comeback in the music industry by working an alternative metal style into mainstream music. Los Angeles alternative metal band, Ra, has just released their latest album Critical Mass and is taking metal music back into the mainstream.
Ra has been through a few changes since 2002 but now for the first time the band’s original lineup is back together and the band feels whole again. Fans can also tell the original members are back because the music feels more organic and honest.
Ra combines intense instrumentals and strong vocals, to create their unique sound.
This album was created because of a Kickstar campaign, the band was surprised by the amount of fan dedication and donations that came through so that the band could record and press this latest album. The Kickstar campaign raised over $32,000 for the production of this record.
Stand out tracks on the album include “Brutiful,”“Anything U Want,” “Won’t Be Home Tonight” and “Ecstasy.”
“Critical Mass,” is truly collaboration between the fans and Ra, which comes together in strong metal loving harmonies.
