Ceremonial Oath Carpet

Reissue. 1995 release. Carpet is the second and final studio album by Ceremonial Oath before the original band split up. Ceremonial Oath is a Swedish extreme metal band who formed in 1989 under the name Desecrator, changed their name to Ceremonial Oath in 1991 and disbanded in 1995. Their influence is greater than their short lifespan suggests: several of the band members would later create or join metal bands that would gain fame and fortune on the future metal scene, such as In Flames, an influential band to the melodic death metal genre; and Hammerfall, a band who would greatly influence the awakened interest in power metal and traditional heavy metal.
