THE OATH was born in Lyon (France) during the year 1999. During the years, the band known several line-up changes but the hard core of the band has always succeeded in persevering... THE OATH is currently composed of D444 (guitars & vocals), Drako (guitars), Carcharoth (bass), PeterPal (keyboards) and Tyrael (drums).
The music of THE OATH is situated at the border of black, death, thrash and heavy-metal. The whole band members’ influences concerning metal or any other musical style are represented. These various contributions give to the band’s music this characteristic which makes it a band very hard to label, original and quite effective musically.
After a 4 songs demo-tape released in 2000 and some gigs during these first years of experimentations and maturation, THE OATH recorded at the end of 2002 its second self-produced demo (Cd) intitled “Présages... & Ténèbres”.
This recording has allowed the band to have a name within the underground metal scene, generating in that way many reviews, numerous contacts and of course some more gigs... But quickly, it became obvious that the future of the band have to pass by the professionnal recording of its new songs.
Christian Héritier from La Manufacture Du Son (KEMET, TENEBRUM INFECTUS) started the recording and the mix of the band’s first album in february 2006. Mastered in L’Autre Studio (Paris) at the end of august, this self-produced album, entitled “The End Of Times”, was quickly pointed out by the entire metal scene and helped the band to build a solid reputation in France and in many other countries.
With passion and perseverance, THE OATH shared the stage with some great names of the entire extrem metal scene such as ENSLAVED, KEEP OF KALESSIN, NEGURA BUNGET, MISANTHROPE, ANTAEUS, BALROG...
With more motivation than ever, the band decided in 2007 to record its second opus, intitled “4”, in Kohlekeller Studio (Seeheim/Germany) under supervision of Kristian “Kohle” Kohlmannslehner who works with bands such as CREMATORY, AGATHODAIMON, SIEGES ENVEN, BENIGHTED...
The very good feedback concerning this album helped the band to cross a new step and THE OATH will finally spread its name and music worldwide under the banner of the Italian record label Code666.
With a stable line-up, a second album in its hands and a record label behind it, the band will be able to continue the composition of new songs while waiting to start very soon the promotion of “4”.
