THE OATH

Release Year: 2014
Artist Origin: GER
Style: heavy psychedelic doom metal / rock

the short-lived heavy doom metallic rock project featuring Johanna Sadonis from Lucifer and Linnéa Olsson from Maggot Heart have left quite a dark trail upon its mesmerizing path that eventually evolved in few directions with new-found entities, yet this lone nine song longplay by international crew catches thy eye and soul alike with both the apt visuals and captivating sounds, dominated by haunting, mesmerizing voice and artistry, effectively backed up by crunchy guitar work and solid rhythm section so that cinematic music sticks to mind, well, forever; infused with occult symbolism, vintage horror aesthetics and deeply emotional themes, haunting atmosphere evokes ritualistic introspection and gothic romanticism, turning each track into a darkly illuminated shrine of sound; British gatefold sleeve black vinyl edition
