This Daring Artist Opens Up About His Crappy First Show

The band In Oath is a pretty big deal. They are one of the first heavy metal bands in Kenya. In a recent interview, they were talking about how they started. Chris, the guy who started the band, had this to say:

“We had started playing rock tunes when we came across a video game called Burnout Dominator. That is the first time we heard really good metal music, so we decided: let’s try jam.” But that’s only the good part of the story. It gets deeper:

“We only had acoustic guitars, but we decided to get more members to form a band. Our first drummer, George was a friend of ours from high school. We got two more friends and started playing shows,” Chris said, “our first show was terrible, but that is what all bands go through. You have to start somewhere. We have been doing well since.”

Then comes the story of a break-up:

“It reached a point where the original members decided to part ways because of an incident, but more so because of differences in music.”

Despite this, In Oath pressed on. They already have an album out. Click here to read about that album.
