Oathbreaker aren’t ones to be afraid of experimentation; the Belgian band, affiliated with the Church of Ra artistic collective – along with Amenra, Hessian and others – have always tinted their vicious brand of hardcore with foreign elements such as shoegaze’s cloudy scapes, black metal’s fierceness and post-punk’s raw emotion. Currently working on their third full-length, which promises to be even more genre-bending than their previous works Mælstrøm and Eros|Anteros, Oathbreaker excel in finding a balancing spot between aggression and fragility, both instrumentally and through Caro Tanghe’s wide-ranging vocal delivery. Oathbreaker’s return to Portugal is now set to happen at Amplifest 2016.

A experimentação nunca assustou os Oathbreaker; a banda belga, afiliada na Church Of Ra ao lado de nomes como Amenra e Hessian, sempre tingiu o seu caótico hardcore com cores fora deste espectro – discernimos-lhes também as nuances do shoegaze, a frieza do black metal, e a emoção do post-punk. A preparar neste momento o terceiro álbum, que promete quebrar ainda mais dogmas do que os anteriores Mælstrøm e Eros|Anteros, os Oathbreaker sempre primaram pelo balanço que encontram entre a agressão e a delicadeza, tanto instrumentalmente como na dinâmica prestação vocal de Caro Tanghe. O regresso dos Oathbreaker a Portugal está agora marcado para o palco da edição de 2016 do Amplifest.
