Album Notes & Community Reviews

Commemorating their 25th anniversary, 'Oath' sees the band fully embracing the orchestral side of their music. The album is a departure from their trademark loud-quiet dynamics, focusing instead on sustained, ethereal beauty and lush arrangements for strings and brass. It's a patient and graceful work, reflecting on the passage of time with a sense of hopeful, elegiac grandeur.
