Musically The Oath's self titled album is an intoxicating mixture of Mercyful Fate's occult
atmosphere and Motorhead's no-nonsense rock n' roll attitude. This is topped off by the ghostly
yet forceful vocals of Johanna Sadonis and memorable songwriting. Its a real shame that the band
broke up as there is a lot of promise in this already excellent debut.

To describe the term "turmoil", Chinese have an ideogram depicting two women under the same roof. However, it's unknown whether the aforementioned ideogram is fitting the dissolution of the female duo of artists responsible for The Oath. What can be said with certainty though, is that The Oath includes 9 songs of really good, old fashioned heavy/doom rock with no redundancies in terms of melodies and arrangements. That said, it's hard to tell one song from the other, as the same song writing formula is used throughout, give or take. Of late, Linnea Olson has joined Beastmilk and Johanna Sadonis formed a new band called Lucifer, so in view of the album's solid (but not truly excellent) values, the disbandment of The Oath seems like the best solution for both parties.
