What's New: Oathswan
When the past comes calling, Oathswan doesn’t just answer: it blows the door off its hinges.
Alright, picture this: a sweaty underground club in Athens, lights flickering like guilty secrets, and Oathswan tearing into their new anthem "Past Echo." Honestly, when those opening lines hit "I was already there / You were my only shadow", it felt like the walls themselves were trembling. Go watch the video now: https://youtu.be/5ozYhh0Vss0
They build this haunting tapestry of memory and loss. Listen as Christos Kontoulis whispers, "My love, my own demise," then rips into that chorus, "Your words are not enough to break me / We've got the end we deserve." It’s a gut‑punch every time: you can almost taste the regret and defiance.
These Athenian mavericks, veterans from Mask of Prospero, Gentihaa, and Aetherian, aren’t just another metal band. They blend metalcore’s unrelenting bite, post‑metal’s vast atmospheres, and djent’s pummeling chugs, all wrapped in cinematic drama. Imagine a gaming soundtrack slamming headfirst into a sweaty mosh pit.
Shot at Bob Katsionis’ Sound Symmetry Studio, the video feels like a short film: shadows dance, memories burn, and the refrain "Will you remember me / As a fight I left behind?" hangs in the air like a dare.
After their EP "For Those Who Breathe From Darkness" and last year’s single "Cursed," these underdogs have been growing quietly, hitting stages across Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia. Now they’re primed to break out.
“Past Echo” is pure adrenaline and catharsis. From the quake‑heavy riffs to those haunting vocal lines "Your voice is an echo of what you used to be", this track is a testament to a band firing on all cylinders. So crank the volume, let it wash over you, and get ready—Oathswan’s just begun.
