Sacred Oath - Line-Up Changes
U.S. veterans Sacred Oath have announced that they are continuing in 2022 without bassist Brendan Kelleher and guitarist Bill Smith. Brendan made his exit last month after informing management that the demands of his new career as a stuntman for AMP Action Films/SAG-AFTRA made it impossible for him to continue performing with the band. He has been replaced by Scott Waite, who was previously the band's bassist from 2007 to 2009. Bill Smith, who has been struggling with personal issues the last several years, sat down with management last month and came to a mutual decision that he would step down indefinitely. He will not be replaced at this time and the band will continue in 2022 as a four-piece.

Sacred Oath - Second Single Streaming Online
US true metal torch-bearers Sacred Oath have released a second single from their brand new album World On Fire. The song, "Sweet Agony," can be heard as a free stream MySpace or below.
"We really feel strongly that this is the best work we've done yet," says Rob Thorne, vocalist/guitarist and producer for the band. "And yet we're struggling, more now than ever, to survive in this business. We need more metal fans to know about Sacred Oath, and these YouTube singles seem like an ideal way to get the word out."
Like the first single "Meet Your Maker," the new single "Sweet Agony" is part of the Dune concept that the album draws its inspiration from. "There are many parallels to be drawn between the futuristic world of Dune and the global crises we face here today," said Thorne in a recent radio interview. "If Dune was ahead of its time, well, sadly it was less than we thought." American author Frank Herbert first published Dune in 1968.
Sacred Oath will release World On Fire as an iTunes exclusive this Tuesday October 26th - just in time for Halloween. The deluxe bundle includes 11 songs and a PDF of the cover art, lyrics and liner notes. All other major digital retailers will have the album available for sale on November 9th (worldwide). A digipack CD version with lyric booklet will also be available in North America. No physical release date has been set for Europe, Japan, or South America as of yet.

Sacred Oath - New Video Online
MTV has the exclusive on the world premier of the new video from Sacred Oath "Counting Zeros". Check it out at this location.
"Counting Zeros," also the first single from the self-titled new album, was handpicked by iTunes as their Discovery Download Pick Of The Week for April 7th, and the band quickly set upon creating a video for the song.
"I couldn't be happier," said lead singer/guitarist Rob Thorne in a written statement released by the label Angel Thorne Music. "Counting Zeros is my favorite track on the album for so many reasons, not least of which is the lyric content. A few years ago we were uncovering the corruption underneath the war in Iraq. Now we're neck deep in AIG bonuses and Bernie Madoff. 'Counting Zeros' is a call to arms."
It seems fitting for a band whose loyal fans refer to themselves as "Oathbangers" to pair up with Headbanger's Blog for the video debut. Sacred Oath released their first album in 1987 ("A Crystal Vision") when Headbanger's Ball was new and enjoying tremendous popularity. "Our fans have always been the "oathbanger"," says Thorne. "Everyone was bangin' something back then," he says with a smile.
The new album from Sacred Oath cracked the Top 50 on the rock charts within the first three days of sales on iTunes. At the #46 position (and climbing), this is already the best-selling album ever for the band. "Unbelievable," croaked Thorne from a 7:30 am wakeup call announcing the chart stats. "This is our time. Classic metal is back. Hand me the damn flag, I'll wave it with pride."

The new self-titled album from Sacred Oath contains 14 songs, including:
