SACRED OATH: New Audio Interview With ROB THORNE Available

March 25, 2009

Pete Altieri of Heavycore recently conducted an interview with Rob Thorne, lead singer and guitarist of Connecticut old-school metallers SACRED OATH. The chat is now available for download as an MP3 audio file at this location.

SACRED OATHRob Thorne (vocals, guitar),Bill Smith (Guitar),Scott Waite (bass),and Kenny Evans (drums) — has just signed an exclusive European distribution/publishing deal with CMM Marketing in Hannover Germany for their new studio album, "Sacred Oath". The CD will be released on May 22 via H'Art Musik/SAOL. Both the standard AND the deluxe editions of the album will be marketed throughout Europe by CMM, a company best known for their work with IRON MAIDEN, HALFORD, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, OVERKILL, METAL CHURCH, the Wacken Open Air festival, and more.

SACRED OATH will release its self-titled album in the U.S. on May 12. The standard version contains 10 songs in a jewel case. The deluxe edition has 14 songs and is packaged in an elaborate digipack with a 16-page lyric and photo booklet. All four bonus tracks in the deluxe package are additional brand new songs. Why two editions? "Pricing, really," says Rob Thorne. "Old-school Oathbangers won't have any qualms paying $14 for the deluxe, but newcomers to the band might, and we're working on an exclusive with iTunes to feature the album at a discounted price. You just can't do that with 14 songs."

The group recently filmed the first video off "Sacred Oath", for the track "Counting Zeros".
