Oath of Cirion is a folk-metal band from the Netherlands. Their debut single "Fullmoon Empire" drew from local legends about a forgotten empire, pairing Celtic melodies with heavy metal. The song helped establish their sound early on.
They followed with a multi-part saga called "King of the Dragonthrone," which appears across three separate tracks. Another song, "Quest for the Dragonfire," continues in a similar epic vein. Their first album was The Wanderer's Way in 2018, then The Battle of Catalaunia in 2020 and The Seven Prophecies in 2022.
The band includes Bastian Beute on vocals and guitar, and Michiel van der Loo on guitar and bouzouki. Their music tends toward longer, narrative pieces built around fantasy themes and folk instrumentation layered over metal rhythms.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
