"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.

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
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

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
