Das Oath have been controversially tearing up the hardcore scene for years, making themselves to the 'enfants terrible' of their own scene! The band's inception in 2000 started with the selfreleased first single on Youth Attack Records, Gloom Records and Coalition Records, who also recently released a discography CD of all their odd a impossible to find vinyl material up to their debut album. Das Oath have constantly been pushing their own boundaries and their vision on punk, by subverting their art through their record covers and layouts.
Das Oath are artists. Half the band originates from NY and the other half from The Netherlands, which should have made this band's existence impossible. Yet, Das Oath somehow is able to turn this culture clash into a creative group that constantly writes, records and tours the world with acts such as The Locust, The Dillinger Escape Plan, JR Ewing etc.
Das Oath's debut full length self titled album launches 15 songs upon the listener that hold a fine balance between classic hardcore, structurized arty noise and 70' punk rock. Mix the energy of The Germs, the progressive sound of earlier Killing Joke with the gritty noise overload of DC's Void with anthemic undertones ala Agnostic Front, Das Oath creates a sound that no other band comes up with in the world of loud music. They've not only fucked with punk's status quo artistically but have expanded and championed upon the very best of hardcore and punk.
"Shortly after the recording of the debut full length on Dimmak, Nate Wilson left the band and The Repos frontman Aaron Aspinwall joined Das Oath on bass, making the line up what Das Oath is today. With Aaron in the Das Oath ranks the band toured Europe and the USA and layed down songs in the studio for a new mini-album that will be released on Dimmak soon. The Das Oath saga continues!"
