Legacy

MindOverFour Nice gritty early Maiden feel here. I suppose the muted and muddy production is intentional, as the previous ep has a very clear and heavily reverbed production. In essence, a sort of shift from late 70s rock production to early 80s underground production has taken place. Regardless, these songs are great traditional metal anthems. Favorite track: Back From Attack.

BK Royal Orphan NY Classic epic heavy metal in the vein of Manilla Road/Omen/Liege Lord!!!!! Oath captures all the raw edge and balls that’s missing from a lot of these new retro try-hard bands. If they used pro tools, I certainly can’t tell. It sounds like it was dropped air cargo from 1985 on the black dragon label. AND they manage to sneak in some new innovative ideas. FIVE STARS!

Grimslath So many face melting solos I'm still trying to mop my mug up off the floor!
Oath's first full length follows on from the 2018 EP, Legion, with NWOBHM influenced bangers throughout showcasing melodic and catchy riffs with blistering lead guitar work that drives each song forward. This is the kind of album Maiden were releasing in their golden years. Favorite track: Electric Gypsy.

1.
The storm is closing in, the night is looking grim The clouds obscure your view, the shadows haunting you Cant seem to find your way, salvation far away A ship thats lost at sea, this tortured soul must seize the day Stranded on an island of one Behold a new day has begun Blinded by the sun The morning always comes Just hold on to your heart And watch the dawn begin again The darkness fades away,cant let the starlight stay My soul will rise again,on me you can depend Its just a warning sign, a moment lost in time The red sky through the black, I will attack this world anew
2.
You'l break some hearts they say, and I know that its true Don't ever let them tell you that you can't be you If indecision ever crippled you I know That i'l be there to light the way and clear the road Just stand up tall and tell them all And shoot an arrow through their heart The only one, you touch the sun and shoot an arrow through the heart One in a million your an actor in your play I'l buy a ticket to come see it any day Your heart and soul is open your a guiding light I see the best of me in you I reach new heights
3.
Born into this world, with nothing to speak of Just an open heart that must always be true Mirrors never lie, never look away Courage now be one of the few You are the architect of the life that you must lead The one thing you must protect is the will to be free Don't fall in with the crowd stand alone and you will see The others will follow you, your the architect of all your dreams Out into the fray time to seize the day, take the left hand Path let your self be your guide Look out for your tribe, embrace your destiny Feed the flame that doubt cannot hide
4.
A vision of utopia, a lust for home corrupted us Black as the darkest night, where was the future bright? When did we lose our way, and is it to late to say? I can see the warning signs I can see the fires burning Are we going back in time? it seems like no ones learning Do we cover up our eyes? Do we only see whats showing? Will we see beyond disguise? Liberated we are the blind What started out to help us fly has left us broken asking why Can we still win the day? Release us from these chains! Can we prevent our decay From madness and our pain
5.
I guide your hand the best I can I'd take a bullet for you You re my golden warrior And when your up against the ropes My heart is ready to explode You are my golden warrior The anchor on my arm the compass guiding me back home The light that leads me to my destiny It's time to be a man but i'l be there to hold your hand And always raise it up in victory All eyes are on you now the stage is set they ring the bell Claim the right to own your destiny I'm helpless standing still, I scream and raise my fists and yell And hope the words I spoke will help you see
6.
Vagabond smile, from the Emerald Isle Spellbound and lost in a daze Right from the start this old celtic heart Could play like the devil gave chase Through the streets of the town We come from all around To see, the electric gypsy Weaving his spell a story to tell Watch as the notes intertwine Making us feel that music was real A troubadour one of a kind
7.
The lights go down in this old town we'r just surviving But suffocating we can't breath from your conniving The end of innocence is here It seems like all thats left is fear but we will rise to save our souls and take our honour back nobody else will tell us Lace up your boots and go to war or go down swinging Just like our fathers did before The songs worth singing
8.
No Regrets 04:53
Flying close to the sun, i'm an army of one, Feel the heat that created me Born of fire carved in stone, Find my way on my own From the depths build my legacy No regrets No remorse Take a chance stay the course Vengeance comes before the fall I regret nothing at all No regrets I wont repent Nothing gained is heaven sent I will be a broken king I regret nothing at all I will kneel for no one I feel no need to run I'm controlling my destiny I decide how I feel I have taken the wheel I decide who I want to be

about

Oath Sc Edinburgh, UK

Evoking the glory of an early 80s garage band Oath is a reverb drenched haze of twisting riffs and serpentine solos. Lose yourself with Oath.
Conceived in 2018 by Steve Waddell as a solo project, taking inspiration from the Diy ethic of bands like Fetid Zombie and Darkthrone combined with the melodic feel of bands like Praying Mantis and Angelwitch with a touch of prog for good measure.
