From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oath Bound is the sixth full length album by Summoning. Not counting certain pieces from the Lord of the Rings' soundtracks, "Mirdautas Vras" is the first song ever to be written entirely in the Black Speech of Mordor. The songs "Might And Glory" and "Land Of The Dead" both feature a self-sung choir chorus similar to what was used on the Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame song "Farewell". To date it is Summoning's longest release, just 21 seconds longer than Dol Guldur.

- The name Oath Bound was selected as it fits well with the Silmarillion theme the album has, in reference to the Oath of Fëanor.[1]
- The album cover as well as pages in the booklet were made from paintings made by German-English painter Albert Bierstadt.
- A mini-CD will be released in 2007 containing at least one song that did not have space on Oath Bound, due to Summoning not wanting the album to go over 70 minutes.[2]
