OATHEAN - "FADING AWAY INTO THE GRAVE OF NOTHINGNESS"

Oathean is a Korean black metal band that formed in 1993 originally under the name Odin, for the Norse/Scandinavian god. They went on a short hiatus and then changed their name three years later. Unlike most black metal bands, Oathean's lyrics deal with sadness and depression rather than satanic and anti-Christian themes. Their particular style of metal is influenced by folk metal, and incorporates Korean world music with the use of traditional Korean instruments such as the haegeum and daegeum. Despite their unique geographical origins this could easily come out of Sweden.
