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."
