Oathbreaker is a post-black metal band from Gent, Oost-Vlaanderen, Belgium. Formed in 2008 and currently signed to Deathwish Inc. They started life as a hardcore band with metalcore elements (debut EP and Mælstrøm), their musical style has increasingly incorporated elements of black metal whilst retaining their hardcore framework (Eros|Anteros) and more recently, forgoing their hardcore tendencies and fully embracing a post-black metal sound (Rheia) with even some shoegazing and folk sensibilities as well as considerable post-metallism. Their early style was an extension of Converge's chaotic metalcore approach. Although their sound can be identified as crusty in parts, they were never an actual crust band, perhaps the closest to that they ever got were some of their Cursed-inspired most metallic moments. Caro's clean vocals approach is reminiscent of fringe post-metaller Julie Christmas. Her harsh vocals became more desperate and unhinged as records progressed. They also slowly began incorporating blast beats and tremolo picking melodies into their sound until even reaching blackgaze moments with the release of Rheia. The lineup includes guitarists Lennart Bossu and Gilles Demolder, drummer Wim Coppers (who replaced founding member Ivo Debrabandere in 2016), and vocalist Caro Tanghe. They are a part of Amenra's Church of Ra collective. Following a self-titled EP, Oathbreaker have released three studio albums: Mælstrøm (2011), Eros|Anteros (2013) and Rheia (2016). They are currently on indefinite hiatus. Caro Tanghe - vocals Gilles Demolder - guitar, bass Lennart Bossu - guitar Wim Coppers - drums Read more on Last.fm.
