CEREMONIAL OATH — Sweden's pioneers of twisted melodic death metal — will release their legendary debut album, "The Book Of Truth", as a digital download in North America on April 16 via Century Media Records. Besides the album tracks,Chris Chelios Jersey, the download also includes all tracks of the super-rare demos "Wake The Dead" and "Black Sermon" (on which CEREMONIAL OATH are still performing under the band's previous moniker DESECRATOR) as well as the two tracks of the legendary "Lost Name Of God" seven-inch single (originally released on Corpse Grinder Records in 1992). "The Book Of Truth" does not really match the usual melodic approach many bands from Gothenburg scene established between the heydays of the scene from 1994 to 1999. Being neither pure Gothenburg-ish melodic death metal nor typical old-school Swedish death metal in the Stockholm vein, but more a fine mélange of both worlds spiced up with some technical finesse a la MORBID ANGEL and NOCTURNUS, "The Book Of Truth" has justly become a real classic of unique death metal throughout the years. Still,Bobby Smith Jersey, to this day, the sound of CEREMONIAL OATH has remained surprisingly fresh and unique. Niklas Sundin (DARK TRANQUILLITY), designer of the first "Lost Name Of God" seven-inch single states: "The very first DARK TRANQUILLITY show was played 22 years ago, together with CEREMONIAL OATH (who then went by the name DESECRATOR), and for a few years we would often share the stage in the then-miniscule Gothenburg metal scene. I always felt that the band never got the attention and credit they deserved for their raw and quirky death metal,Gump Worsley Jersey, so it's about time that these rare recordings finally get released on a bigger scale and made available to a new generation of fans as well as nostalgia freaks like myself. Storm the gates!” Anders Björler (ex-THE HAUNTED, AT THE GATES): "Me and Jonas [Björler] did the logo and demo cover artwork back in 1990 for the band DESECRATOR. They were so disappointed and upset they had to form another band and start over. CEREMONIAL OATH was born." Marko Palmén (EVOCATION): "I must say that the news about CEREMONIAL OATH awakening from their hiatus really made my day and it's great to see that the interest for death metal from Sweden is growing worldwide! I have some great memories from the early '90s when sharing the stage with CEREMONIAL OATH and perhaps the best one is from a show we did at the legendary underground club called Valvet in Gothenburg,Michael Jordan Jersey, 1992. And it's not the best memory because it was a great show or something like that... It's because I remember that our drummer managed to break the drumhead for the kick on the CEREMONIAL OATH backline which we were sharing. And as if that wasn't enough I also remember that we never paid the CEREMONIAL OATH guys for that broken drumhead and it still feels like a thorn in my and EVOCATION's side after all these years... I hope you guys can forgive us! ;-) Strange thing to happen during a show,Duncan Keith Jersey, I have never experienced something like that either before or after that show during my entire musical career. Now when you guys have reunited,Justin Abdelkader Jersey, I'm sure you will discover that playing death metal has never been as much fun as it is now. In a while I'm also sure that you guys will regret the same thing that we in EVOCATION regret; that we didn't start doing this earlier! Welcome back after all these years and hope we can raise some hell together once again!""The Book Of Truth" track listing: CD1/LP1: The Album 01. Prologue: Sworn To Avenge 02.
