Black Oath is an Italian doom metal band that has been casting its shadow over the heavy music scene since its formation in 2006. Their sound is characterized by a foreboding atmosphere, slow and heavy riffs, and an ambient that conjures images of ancient rites and forgotten realms. The band's lyrical themes often delve into the occult, mysticism, and the darker aspects of spirituality, all of which are delivered with a hauntingly melodic approach that sets them apart within their genre.

Since their inception, Black Oath have been meticulously crafting their discography, starting with their debut album "The Third Aeon" released in 2011, which put them on the map for fans of the doom metal scene. They continued to build their reputation with subsequent releases such as "Ov Qliphoth and Darkness" in 2013, an album that embraced the esoteric aspects of their music even more. Their sound matured and became more refined with 2015's "To Below and Beyond," which displayed the band's ability to blend melody with the heaviness inherent to doom. The band's latest full-length effort, "Behold the Abyss" in 2018, further solidified Black Oath's stance in modern doom, resonating with fans and newcomers for its deep, dark, and enthralling compositions that are both nostalgic and refreshingly original within the metal community.
