SACRED OATH Announce Rerelease Of Self-Titled, Till Death Do Us Part Albums
August 10, 2016, 8 years ago
Classic power metal quartet Sacred Oath have announced that both their eponymous comeback Sacred Oath (2009) and their live album “Till Death Do Us Part” (2008) will be rereleased throughout Europe on August 19th through Caroline.
Sacred Oath will be available in both a standard and deluxe format. The standard issue has ten songs packaged in a jewel case, and the deluxe contains four bonus tracks in a triple-gatefold with 16 page lyric booklet. Both formats are only available in Europe. The live album Till Death Do Us Part was recorded in 2007 at the Keep It True Festival in Germany during the band’s last European tour and was an iTunes Top 10 live metal album when it was originally released.
“It’s great to see real metal is alive and well and that we’re still a part of it,” says Sacred Oath drummer Kenny Evans, who has played with the band since 1986. “Even a small thing like this is a big reward. Those two albums were important for us.”
Sacred Oath (standard and deluxe) features original artwork from Ioannis and the photography of Mark Weiss. “I always thought the self-titled was one of our better albums, and the whole package is a knock-out,” Evans continued. The video single “Counting Zeros” premiered on Headbanger’s Ball when it was released and marked a high point of the band’s popularity.
Sacred Oath is currently recording their 8th studio album and follow-up to 2015’s Ravensong which was the band’s first worldwide release under the deal with Angel Thorne/ILS/Caroline/Universal. A release date for that has not been announced yet.
