The Oath – We Are the Champions
Biography
“The Oath” may refer to: 1) French melodic black metal; 2) US black metal; 3) Das Oath
1). The Oath is a French Melodic Black Metal quintet - formed in 1999 in a place called Rhône-Alpes. They self released two demos and two full-length albums, both of which were released on different record labels.
The Oath is known for their highly rebellious themes featuring Misanthropy, Self-Destruction, Non-Conformity. On some degree they are somewhat Punk-influenced, in that context. Their album covers generally display some Misanthropic or rebellious historic entity.
In 2000, they released their first demo known as “The Oath”. It has four songs, that were recorded in Studio 666. And they were later somewhat recognized for their prior achievements, in this studio. The lineup included; Lord Ash - lead guitar, Destroyer - vocals and rhythm guitar, Djaevel - drums, Delph - keyboard and Felipe on bass.
In 2002, they released a demo called “Présages… et Ténèbres” with eight songs. And the lyrics were actually recorded in English. The album contained eight songs with an intro and outro. It appeared to be nearly a serious full-length but, unfortunately they were not yet, impressed by any labels. The band started getting serious with their material and worked along the lines of concept albums.
Although, due to their lack of recognition this put the band on hold but, fortunately, Shark Records found some of their demos and wanted to make a deal with them. The band realized it was time for them to start making new material. They produced a new album in 2007 called “The End Of Times”.
