You should have noticed by now that Seven Sisters are one of our favourite bands on the Epic Metal Blog. Therefore, it’s high time to do another interview with Kyle – on the sidelines of the Courts of Chaos Festival, the singer and guitarist, who meanwhile lives in Spain, talked in detail with Igor (Dreamslain) […]
German version below; Français ci-dessous Text: Anna Loppacher, Pics: Igor Jakobsen Due to a stubborn flu (or maybe it was Covid?), this live report is coming later than planned, but when a little time has passed, it can be all the nicer to reminisce.

Release: 29/07/2022 If you have been reading our blog for the last two years, you will certainly have come across the name Oath. Nevertheless, a short explanation at this point: It is a one-man-project from Scotland, behind which Steven Waddell can be found.
