SACRED OATH release new lyric video

Sacred Oath release lyrics video for new album “Fallen” due May 28^th.

The four original members of cult US metal band Sacred Oath are together again for the first time in more than 6 years and have released a video single “Snake Eyes” from the brand new full length album “Fallen” due on May 28^th.

The band is celebrating the 25^th anniversary of their debut release “A Crystal Vision”, an album that somehow managed to become a cult classic despite going out of print almost immediately after its release in 1988.  Singer Rob Thorne reformed the band in 2007 and has since released several albums with Sacred Oath, but “Fallen” is the first full length album since ‘88 to feature Pete Altieri (bass), Glen Cruciani (guitar), Rob Thorne (vocals/guitar) and Kenny Evans (drums) throughout.  In a letter to fans posted on their website, Pete Altieri describes the album as “pure magic. I knew this was special, but until I sat down today to listen to ‘Fallen’ mastered and complete, I didn’t realize how much. This is truly a gift from the metal gods to all of us!”

“Snake Eyes” (lyrics video) is available courtesy of Digmetalworld Records and Angel Thorne Music, in association with MVD Entertainment Group.  MVD will be distributing the digipack CD worldwide.  “Fallen” is available now for pre-order on iTunes.

The video can be viewed below.

Release date announced for new Sacred Oath album and cover art revealed

A brand new full-length album from Sacred Oath is scheduled for worldwide release on May 28^th of this year.   “Fallen” is the 6^th studio album from the power metal quartet currently celebrating 25 years in the business.

Produced by lead singer/guitarist Rob Thorne at his studio in Connecticut, all 10 songs were recorded with the original 1988 line-up, including Pete Altieri (bass), Kenny Evans (drums), and Glen Cruciani (guitar).  “The four of us haven’t recorded anything together since “Darkness Visible” for a variety of reasons,” says Thorne, who has produced six of the band’s more recent albums.  “I threw the idea out there of doing an EP together to celebrate our 25^th anniversary, and everyone jumped on board.  It quickly escalate! d into a monstrous LP.  It’s very exciting.”

There are ten songs on “Fallen” with writing contributions from all four members, including:

• King Of Your World
• Death Knell
• Lurking Fear
• Misery Loves Company
• Aradia
• Get Your Wings
• The Way of All Flesh
• Dream Death
• Snake Eyes
• Fallen

not necessarily in that order.

The band chose to bring back artist Jason Beam  for this release, whose artwork also appears on “Darkness Visible” (2007), “Till Death Do Us Part” (2008), and most recently “Spells and Incantations” (2012).

“Fallen” will be released by Angel Thorne Music and distributed by MVD Entertainment.

SACRED OATH releases video single from “Spells and Incantations”

Progressive-power-thrash metal underdogs Sacred Oath have released the video “Blood Storm” on YouTube to celebrate their exclusive digital release “Spells and Incantations” on iTunes today.  The video contains rare performance clips and photos from the band’s personal archives spanning their 25-year tenure in the metal underground.

The video can be seen below.

“I think perseverance is something to be celebrated,” says Rob Thorne, the band’s singer/guitarist.  “It hasn’t been easy for us.  It isn’t easy for anybody, really, but 25 years is a long time to hang in this business without the support of a record label.  I like to think of us as pure, uncut.  Or stupid.”

The best-of collection “Spells and Incantations” is released today as an iTunes exclusive metal album.  Two previously unreleased bonus tracks are included.  A digipack CD hits stores and other digital outlets on May 29th through Super D and MVD distribution.
