Das Oath was a thrashcore band from New York
, originating
from the The
Netherlands
. They
formed in 1999.
After two rehearsals the band recorded their
7" eight song debut in Rotterdam
. It was not until a year later when Das Oath
started to play shows. With only one 7" released the band hit the
road and played all over Europe during the fall of 2000. Upon their
return to The Netherlands the band went straight into the studio to
record songs for what would become their 9" / 10" record. After the
recording session the band started to prepare for their first USA
tour slated in December 2000.
Shows took place on the Westcoast tour in the
USA with Total Fury from Japan
. One
of the highlights was the show at Gilman in San Francisco with
Spazz. The tour barely broke even, yet more tours in Europe (with
The Locust) and the USA (with Limpwrist and Total Fury). Meanwhile
the limited 10" version came out for the spring tour on the
Eastcoast. The regular 9" version was finally released late 2001.
Shortly upon its released it was banned by the distributor for its
controversial artwork. Their self-conscious move away from a
typical punk rock aesthetic presaged a signing to
Dim Mak Records, an extremely varied and
commercial label that released Das Oath's most critically
well-received release, their self-titled LP from 2004. A mini-LP
saw release in 2006 through Youth Attack, with the compact disc
released again by Dim Mak. 2006 also saw the release of a
self-titled 11" on Youth Attack/Coalition with the compact disc on
31G and Das Oath's funereal release, a tour-only all-covers split
LP with
Ampere.
The song "Awesome Rape" was included in
Tony Hawk's Underground 2.
Das Oath featured former/current members of
Holy Molar, Failures,
Monster X,
Charles Bronson, VMW,
Mainstrike,
Devoid of
Faith and Oil.
