    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    **Temporarily out of stock — available again by the end of February 2024!**

    Includes the digital extended edition of the album.

    "The Unsung Mantras" fuses metal attitude with the Eastern emphasis on the healing effects of music, creating something much more than simply entertainment. Metal was and is survival, family and religion. It is a healer and a way of life. OATH OF CRANES pay homage to that music and those keeping it alive despite rejection by mainstream society.

    This is a 2-LP black vinyl edition released on April 21, 2023.

    Tracklist:

    SIDE A
    Intro (Purification & Benediction)
    Jivara (The Great Fever)
    Rudra (The Superior Proposal)

    SIDE B
    Yama (Sacrifice of Introspection)
    Puja (Celebrate the Negation of Hope)

    SIDE C
    Akasha (Everything Holy is Profane)
    Kali (The Infinite Cycle of Transformation)

    SIDE D
    Sannyasi Mantra (Elegy of the Enlightened)

    Produced by OATH OF CRANES, engineered at Switzerland's New Sound Studio by Tommy Vetterli (Coroner, Eluveitie & more), and mastered at Sweden's Fascination Street Studios by Tony Lindgren (Sepultura, Kreator, Witchcraft & more).

    Out on Klang Machine Records.

Hard will breaks, gentle will rules Shattered Life, wrong beliefs Buried soul, in a carnose coffin Embrace the abyss Rough earned, ulcerous wounds Embrace the abyss Die before you die Embrace the abyss Furious Vomit demons Refuse the foreign thoughts Gravity nullified Time seems unreal Gone are all convictions The last choke of a drowning man Through wounds light will appear Light, rise, fall, shadows, light Embrace the abyss
2.
Wrath, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy, Gluttony The fallen ones - are us Servants of pain So far from light Servants of lies Flesh... Oppressing my will Servants of lust Lust... Greed... Spirits in disorder Chaos, murder So this is our temple Collapse we will This is us, flames Burn out we must This is what we have Shame is all that is left

With my will I will lie down Hookers and thieves Teach you how to live down here Lie down Die now I don’t find my way to live I stand in my way Show me my face before I was born Yama

I never had the talent to please the kings Every drop of my blood revolts in their presence I don’t care for them at all Assassins, cheaters, betrayers of life Enthronement enabled only by you Eternal cowards, luring for profit, disgustful volunteers Enforce the conspirators Fearful hearts promotes the tyrant Now live in shame, ruled by idiots The most infamous under the sun Flatter their allegiance of whores Pornocracy No one should be ruled by none No obligations to the corrupt Honour the antagonist Support the one who speaks free Kill the kings without remorse Drag their crowns through the dirt Kill the kings without remorse Drag their crowns though their shit Anarchy will deliver Anarchy for the free
5.
Oblivious to the essence Dwelling in a childish state Will corrode your heart Servant of chaos I am Chaos I am I keep you away from enlightenment I feed you with infant needs Aiming for bliss in amusement Carver of masks I am Emotional disasters Pathological common sense You call this your life Third eye thief I am This is my chant This is my curse Over you Addicted to desires Yes you are I will make you sick

about

The digital version of "The Unsung Mantras" contains the following bonus tracks which are not included on the 2LP vinyl:
"Krodhana - Noone Will Ever Miss You"
"Ahamkara (Who's That Ugly Face in the Mirror)"
"Tamas (Obfuscation of the Third Eye)"
"Maya, Pt. 1 - To Cultivate Your Illusions"
"Maya, Pt. 2 - To Cultivate Your Disillusions"

OATH OF CRANES turn doom metal on its head. Mastermind (and ex-Celtic Frost drummer) Franco Sesa combines his passion for Eastern traditional music — particularly the mantra chants of Tibetan monks — with his love for hard rock to create a genuinely innovative wall of sound.

The result fuses metal attitude with the Eastern emphasis on the healing effects of music, creating something much more than simply entertainment. Metal was and is survival, family and religion. It is a healer and a way of life. OATH OF CRANES pay homage to that music and those keeping it alive despite rejection by mainstream society.
