Sacred Oath (heavy metal US)
Posté : 21 avr. 2025, 20:45
Un vieux groupe de heavy metal légèrement progressif (tendance Queensrÿche et Fates Warning, mais aussi power metal) qui est déjà reformé depuis un bail, mais dont je n'ai rien écouté depuis une éternité. Ils sortent un album cette année.
80s USPM pioneers, Sacred Oath, have released a second single, “Don’t Be Afraid”, from their forthcoming 12th album. The band is currently in the studio working on a full-length follow-up to Return Of The Dragon (2021) and anticipate a 2025 release.
“We’re all excited to put this one out there,” says singer and guitarist Rob Thorne. “The last single ‘Is It Time?’ was angry, anxious, and desperately hopeless, which is valid. But we forge on, don’t we? We rediscover hope; we find a way to get our asses out of bed and give every day the best we’ve got. And in many ways, ‘Don’t Be Afraid’ is the best we’ve got.”
Sacred Oath are back working on a complete album of new songs in Thorne’s Connecticut studio, where most of their catalog has been recorded over the past twenty years.
“For the first time ever, I’m drawing upon my conversations with my own kids for the lyrics,” says Thorne. “I’ve lived my whole life as the angry teenager, and now I find myself advising and consoling a houseful of them. It’s weird. There’s a lot happening in their world. They need encouragement. And they most certainly need music.”
