They were founded in 1984, during the American power metal movement, although they relied on a more thrash metal sound. They signed a recording contract with the Mercenary Records label in 1986, shortly after recording their second demo. By then the band was becoming known internationally in an underground circuit. Members Rob Thorne, Pete Altieri, Glen Cruciani, and Kenny Evans recorded Sacred Oath's debut album A Crystal Vision in May 1987. The album was released in January 1988 on vinyl, cassette, and CD and went on to garner cult-classic status as one of the pioneer efforts of the American power metal movement. Sacred Oath disbanded in December 1988 before the album had caught on, due to creative disagreements and frustration with their failing record label. Mercenary Records and its parent label Celluloid Records went bankrupt soon after. Sentinel Steel Records reissued the debut album in 2001 through an exclusive agreement with the band. The band reformed and re-recorded the songs from that album, releasing them as A Crystal Revision in 2005. Rob and Kenny continued to record as Sacred Oath, issuing the critically acclaimed comeback album Darkness Visible in 2007 with all four original members. In 2008 they released a live album 'Till Death Do Us Part recorded during their tour of Europe. This album featured a new guitarist (Billy Smith) and a new bass player (Scott Waite), and established the band as back and fully active in the current music world. 'Till Death Do Us Part was chosen by iTunes as one of the ten best live metal albums that year. In 2009, the new lineup of Sacred Oath recorded their self-titled album, "Sacred Oath". In 2013, the band released a reunion album, titled Fallen, featuring the four original members. The album included some songs written decades earlier (Death Knell, Lurking Fear, Dream Death) as well as brand new songs. Following the release of Fallen, Angel Thorne Music secured a worldwide distribution deal with Caroline/UMG through SRGILS and arranged for Sacred Oath to record and release 3 more studio albums and a second live album. The band delivered with Ravensong (2015), Twelve Bells (2017), and Thunder Underground - Live from NYC (2019).
