Sacred Oath were part of the crop of American Power metal bands that arose in the mid 80's along with Liege Lord, Omen and Jag Panzer. This is certainly one of the model releases of the style with stunning vocals which could be described as somewhere between King Diamond and John Arch, great lead guitar that totally brings to mind Judas Priest and there's definitely evidence of these guys taking notes from Metallica and Exodus with some thrash shades here and there. This release pretty much has enough influence from different quarters to pique anyone's interest who is in general a big fan of 80's metal.
