Swedish deathsters Ceremonial Oath was formed in 1988 under the name Striker, but they first changed name to Desecrator by Oscar Dronjak (HammerFall) and Anders Iwers (Tiamat).
In 1991 Jesper Strömblad (Restistance, ex In Flames) joined and they changed name to Ceremonial Oath. During their short career the group released two demos, one 7" EP, and two full-length albums. In the mid-1990's members' other bands had become more important and the band more or less faded away by 1995/1996. In 2012 Ceremonial Oath reunited again with their "classic" line-up consisting of Dronjak, Iwers, Nordberg & Strömblad.
Recorded and Mixed at Studio Fredman (Norther, Old Man's Child, Dark Tranquillity, Opeth, Dream Evil, Bring Me The Horizon)
