Biography
(1989 – 1995)
In 1992 Ceremonial Oath recorded and released a 7” EP, The Lost Name of God, and later in 1993 they released their debut album, The Book of Truth. After the release of their first album, Oscar Dronjak left Ceremonial Oath to focus on Crystal Age and Hammerfall, and Jesper Strömblad left to form In Flames.
After a lineup change, Ceremonial Oath released Carpet in early 1995 before splitting up in the same year. Tracks New Sun and The Shadowed End appeared on the W.A.R. (Wrong Again Records) Compilation, which was released in 1995.
Ceremonial Oath is considered to be the first band to play melodic death metal. Even prior to bands like In Flames and Dark Tranquillity.
Ceremonial Oath reunited in 2012 with the original line up of:
Jesper Strömblad - Bass (The Resistance, Dimension Zero, ex-In Flames, ex-All Ends, ex-Sinergy, ex-Hammerfall)
Markus Nordberg - Drums (Desecrator (Swe), ex-Cemetary, ex-Braindead)
Anders Iwers - Guitar (Desecrator (Swe), Tiamat, ex-In Flames, ex-Cemetary, ex-Mercury Tide, ex-Lacuna Coil )

Just for the record, Carpet was released in 95, but the tracks were recorded in summer of 93.

Forgive me for not being able to take you seriously.

DimebagMustaine
Uninspired? These guys pretty much singlehandedly created the Gothenburg style before all this SOTS worship started overplaying the hell out of it. And it has some of the most well composed solos ever.

v Carpet is so far away from being a masterpiece. Some of the most uninspired music I've ever heard.
-
DimebagMustaine
I can't believe these guys don't play songs from Carpet on the reunion shows. How can they underrate their own masterpiece so much?
