about

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.

lyrics

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
We are spirits in disorder

So this is our temple
Collapse we will
This is us, flames
Burn out we must
Is this is all we have?
Shame is all that is left

We are spirits in disorder
Chaos, murder
