"If Sauron had won the battle for Middle-earth, there’s no doubt that Summoning would have provided the soundtrack to his triumph. With avalanches of heavy martial percussion, marathon-length tracks that emphasize the repetition of a central theme, and guitars that oscillate between jagged and acidic riffs and layered soundscapes that elevate the adrenaline, 'Oath Bound' delivers exactly what fans expect. With this new album of epic and atmospheric black metal, Summoning continues to compose the soundtrack of Mordor, even going so far as to write the first track in the orcish language!"
