Ceremonial Oath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ceremonial Oath was a Swedish melodic death metal band which was founded in 1989 by guitarist Oscar Dronjak (later of HammerFall) under the name of Desecrator. Despite its short activity time, the band served the purpose of bringing together some of the musicians which would later assemble In Flames, an influential band to the melodic death metal genre.

Their first demo was recorded in 1989 and a second one was recorded in 1990, when the band changed its name to Ceremonial Oath. During their short career they released 2 demos, 1 EP and 2 albums.
