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.

Sesa comments:
“For my generation, the metalheads from the eighties, metal was much more than just entertainment. It was survival, not just fun to spice up daily life. It was family, religion, identification. I think it kept a lot of people from committing suicide back then, as it had a healing and "holy" influence on a lot of my metal generation. And I think it still has. It’s still true for the current metal generation. It is more than music. It is a way of life and a lifestyle. With this project I want to show my gratitude to this kind of music and give thanks to all who have helped to create and maintain this musical tradition - although it was always rejected by the masses and ridiculed as music for outsiders. We’re outsiders and proud of it. Not by choice, but by necessity.”

"Yama" is the first single from the band's upcoming debut album, THE UNSUNG MANTRAS.

lyrics

Lyrics

With my will
I will lie down

Hookers and thieves
They teach you how to live down here

With my will
I will lie down
With my will
I will lie down

Lie down
Die now

I can’t find my way to live
I stand in my way

Show me my face before I was born
