The Oath

2014 album from the metal duo. to master the dark and wring compelling creativity from its densest shadows requires vision, belief and perhaps most importantly, a dash of synchonicity. These are all qualities that ooze from every pore of the debut album by The Oath. a band forged around the fizzing, feral chemistry between Swedish guitarist Linnea Olsson and German vocalist Johanna Sadonis, The Oath represents the wild magic the erupts when two blazing souls collide and fate is sent veering off course by sheer strength of the human will. This is heavy metal at its most mercurial and intuitive.
