Evil Oath – Sur Austru – Tragacanth

Lekker het weekend uitknallen op Metal Sunday met Tragacanth, Evil Oath en Sur Austru (RO)!

De deur gaat ietsje eerder open (19:00) dan normaal, zodat iedereen ook weer een beetje op tijd naar huis kan.

*** Tragacanth ***

Tragacanth is een vijfkoppige metalband uit Amersfoort. De muziek van Tragacanth is zodoende lastig te plaatsen, maar denk aan progressieve extreme death/black metal met de nodige symfonische elementen en licht elektronische uitstapjes en je komt aardig in de buurt.

Waar het debuutalbum ‘Anthology of the East’ uit 2015 de luisteraar meevoert naar lang vervlogen Babylonische tijden, mythes en spirituele oorlogen, vertelt opvolger ‘The Journey of a Man’ uit 2018 het verhaal van een terminaal zieke man in het Oude Griekenland.

Verschillende reviewers hebben Tragacanth al vergeleken met metalgrootheden als Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, Nile en Fleshgod Apocalypse. Zelf zijn de bandleden vooral bezig met het vertellen van verhalen, en daar mag af en toe muzikaal best voor buiten de lijntjes gekleurd worden.

*** Evil Oath ***

Forged with the stench and the unholy spark, deep in the lowest depths of the archaic where the sun can’t reach, a Parchment has been written to represent the speech and the oath of the Dark Lord.

The Parchment, containing the twisted characters that should have been spoken by the Dark Lord, was to cast out faith and religion from the spirit and mind of humanity. Before the darkest day arrived, a path to this sinister plan was taken. In order to succeed, the great majesty called forth the darkest mages assigned by grim to ensure the success of this deed.

In 1666 during the Great Fire in London on planet Earth, people believed that the prisons of the inferno became overfull. They said it’s hell on earth! But this event was the cause of a tenebris spell that has been casted by the Nocturnal Mages of the first province of the infernum.

In occasion to this event, a gateway was created to connect the two realms, in order to spread the plague and the decease created by the poisoned blood of the fallen angel Lucifer. And to ensure that the diabolic speech would finally reach the ears of humanity. During this event the Parchment was brought to Earth by the horrible messengers. These keepers of the grim document lost what they were to preserve. After the closure of the tenebris vortex the Parchment got lost.

Those who would find the Parchment and can decipher its contents would be able to spread Sathanas diabolical and cleansing speech. They would be able to spread Sathanas speech known as… the EVIL OATH

*** Sur Austru ***

Sur Austru is a new musical concept created from the ashes of Transylvanian black metal pioneers Negura Bunget. Gathering inspiration and emotions from the aesthetics of nature, ancient lore and forgotten rituals, Sur Austru is proposing a timeless journey into the mystical landscapes of Transylvania.
