Katana Cartel - The Sacred Oath - Reviewed By ODYMETAL ! Check it out here at this link: https://odymetal.blogspot.com/2021/12/katana-cartel-sacred-oath.html

Founded in 2012 by three musicians including guitarist Rob Georgievski who is still present to this day. The actual departure dates from 2015 with some changes of members and only one EP on the counter. The line-up, for this first album released in early 2021, in addition to Rob, consists of Steven Falkingham on vocals, Dylan Reeves on guitar, John Price on drums and Matt Ientile (PEGASUS) on bass.

The band evolves in a traditional Heavy Thrash Metal with a well-rendered melodic aspect, due to the clear and relatively varied voice, the choirs and catchy choruses. The riffs are numerous and give a real striking force and are, with the always melodic choruses and the excellent solos, the solid basis of the compositions. Stand out in a METALLICA atmosphere, "Bang Your Head" and "The Battle" with a grain of madness in the end. I really like "Night Town" which has a brighter sound and a melodic Hard chorus like the solo. "Dime A Dozen" is struck and jerky and finally presents a PANTERA groove on a thrashising heaviness. "Judge Shredd" has a MAIDEN influence, a long title taking as a whole. "Grenade" is the most powerful title, with big riffs and superb chorus in an atmosphere of the 80s, excellent !!!

A first album that can be listened to, without real surprise, but which sounds good and which allows to discover the group and thus especially to remember its name for the rest of its adventure. ODYMETAL
