THE OATH — The Oath (review)

4.5/5 ·
Warthur
Doomy female-led occult rock is a legitimate bandwagon these days, but there's more than enough variation in the scene to justify the proliferation of bands in this general area. Take, for instance, one-album wonders The Oath, who in their brief life put out this single album. The Oath occupy a hinterland between hard rock and traditional heavy metal, with doom and psych influences both on subject matter and on their riffs, with lead vocalist Johanna Sadonis and lead guitarist Linnéa Olsson giving high-grade performances all round. Sadonis now fronts Lucifer, ploughing a very similar furrow, but whatever exploits she gets up to in future will have to hit a pretty high mark to match what she and Olsson accomplish here.
