Legendary Thrashers UNDER THE OAK Rise Again with "The Last of a Dying Breed"
2024 is the year we release our third album, have our international live debut, and continue to be good buddies who enjoy each other’s company. The album The Last of a Dying Breed will be released in September, once again through our friends in Wormholedeath. Now that we are closing in on 40 years in the business as Metal musicians, it’s no secret that we feel the title reflects ourselves. We still prefer to work like we always have, and physical format and regular rehearsals are second nature. It’s natural for us to be a live band, and our goal will always be to be even better live than in the studio. As always, we have one foot in traditional Heavy Metal and the other foot in the world of Thrash Metal. The music must be melodic, ruthless, fast, and furious. We still pay tribute to our old heroes with the odd cover tune. There was only room for one of those on the new album, but in return, it will be one that you all recognize. For the first time, we are joined by a guest musician Jan-Erik Johansen, who plays triangle on the album. The album consists of ten original Under the Oak tunes and will be available on CD and vinyl in the fall of 2024.
