MoM: Give us an introduction to the band for anyone that doesn't know you. Band name, members, style etc?
Ashen Oath: We are Ashen Oath, which is Dan (vocals), James (Guitar), Dyl (Guitar) and Kris (Drums) and we play metal with phat riffs and big chorus’
MoM: Elephant in the room. How have you coped with the pandemic? What have you been up too?
Ashen Oath: Work, pretending I am superman and fucking up my shoulder (in the case of Kris) but surviving which is the most important thing. We have had some good news in the band though, Dyl has got engaged and now has COVID baby on the way and Dan has just got engaged.
MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past?
Ashen Oath: We played in a previous M2TM under our previous iteration as Prophecy and got to the semi’s and loved it but haven’t had much luck with band members in the past and then COVID hitting which has put things on hold a bit, but we want to come out of this lockdown flying.
MoM: How are you feeling entering this slightly restructured M2TM format?
Ashen Oath: Fucking excited, sounds like a big party to us. At this point, just getting out and playing a gig means the world to us!
MoM: What would it mean to play Bloodstock? Would it be more significant doing so this year, after everything that's happened with live music?
Ashen Oath: It honestly means everything. Playing a festival as legendary as Bloodstock would be a dream come true even under normal circumstances but coming out of something like COVID and everything opening back up (hopefully) just makes the whole thing surreal.
MoM: Give us a three-word rundown of what to expect in your performance?
Ashen Oath: ENERGY SWEAT PASSION
Final Thought: Who doesn't love big riffs and bigger vocals right?
