"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.

lyrics
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

What a beautiful, haunting experience all around, always melts me from start to finish. Incredible and deep sound, amazing atmosphere and cohesion, unexpected jazz elements unlike anything I've heard, and don't get me started on the vocals. Really hard to choose a favorite track. dan-rod
More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2023
