Sacred Oath's history dates back to the mid-eighties, when in 1985 the guitarist and singer Rob 'Thorne' Volpintesta and bassist Pete Altieri form the band while still in the Institute. They released three demos from the years 1985-87, until he finally achieved the coveted recording contract and released their first LP, 'A Crystal Vision', in 1988, with subsequent tour with Fates Warning his countrymen.
Soon after, the label went under, dragging the band. Eighteen years later, Sacred Oath was resurrected from the ashes, reissuing their debut album in 2005 and in 2007, launching 'Darkness Visible', the second long, which finally saw the light, with the original lineup (Glen Cruciani, Kenny Evans guitar, drums, along with Thorne and Altieri) and revival, more or less the same heavy metal in their early years, introducing U.S. Power Metal influences of modern and contemporary in their music, but keeping the spirit of old school in general. 
Good and powerful riffing, beautiful melodies and sound very traditional, in the vein of bands like Maiden, Queensrÿche and of course, early Fates Warning. Sacred Oath today follow more active and more energetic than ever, having released an eponymous album in 2009 and, recently, 'World On Fire', which has been very well received. A great example of excellence, dedication, perseverance and passion for the good Heavy Metal, Sacred Oath deserve to be taken into account ... do not let them go and join the 'OATHBANGERS'!!!...
