The Oath

Wow, this band came and went fast. Apparently formed in 2012, a self-titled album arrived on Rise Above Records in March 2014 to excellent reviews but not a lot of fanfare, and one month later they abruptly announced they were done, and that was it. As evidenced by the cover pic and elsewhere, the stars of the show (it's really not clear whether any of the guys who played or recorded with the band were proper members or just guests), and it's quite unfortunate that they're already gone as The Oath is quite excellent actually, borrowing liberally from 70's doom rock/metal and with a noticeable occult rock influence (vocals and style-wise, a heavier The Devil's Blood is occasionally a soundalike). Hopefully we haven't seen the last of these women, here or somewhere else, but if not, The Oath makes for a strong statement. (update: Sadonis has moved on to a band called Lucifer).
