| Band biography |
The line-up was:
Ted Jonsson - drums, Joni Mäensivu - vocals, Petri Tarvainen - guitar and Ted Lundström - bass.Shortly after Daniel Dziuba joined the band as the 2:nd guitarist.
In december 1992 they got into studio Lagret and recorded a 3-song demo to see what they could accomplish and the result was better than expected. A few months later Ted Lundström left the band to join Amon amarth and Martin Wiklander took his place in the band. Due to the line-up change the demo never got released.
Almost a year after, in october 1993, the band entered studio Lagret again and recorded the 5-song demo "Art of darkness". The response was good and they started to get a name in the underground scene. Already at this point, Eternal oath had wandered off the traditional death metal-genre and started to create their own path. Daniel Dziuba got replaced with Peter Nagy (also featuring in Hypo crite, Mörk gryning).
In february 1994 they entered studio Montezuma and recorded a 3-song promotion tape and started to send it to record companies in Sweden. Two months later they received an answer from "Rat pack records", who offered to release a mcd with them.
March 1995 Eternal oath entered the studio Lagret and in april the mcd "So silent" was recorded. A year later "Rat pack records" still hadn't manage to release the mcd due to financial problems. Tired of waiting Eternal oath broke their contract with "Rat pack records" and released the mcd on their own. "So silent" saw daylight in june 1996.
At this point Martin Wiklander had lost all his interest in the band and decided to quit. In march 1997, after a few gigs as a session member, Peter Wendin took his place. In march 1998 it was time to enter the studio again. The fullength album "Through the eyes of hatred" was recorded in studio Sunlight.
The band was meant to enter Studio Fredman in December 2000 to record a new album for the Singapore based label Pulverised Records but since they went out of business in 2001 they were left without a deal. In 2002 they released their new album through Greater Art Records.
