Oathbound is a Progressive Metalcore band from Seattle (USA) channeling the raw, unfiltered emotion that defines the human condition while crafting sonic soundscapes that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically powerful! The band just dropped a new single and occultic music video entitled “False Ideals“. The music video was directed by Brandon Hartsock and filmed on location at Northern State Hospital in Sedro-Woolley, WA. This is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming full-length album Colors In Grey which will be released on March 6, 2026 via Eclipse Records.
“The inspiration behind the song title led to the creative process and narrative decisions made” says guitarist Taylor Harper. “As our guitarist Viktor was going through struggles in his personal life, he began to re-evaluate certain postulates he held dearly to be the absolute truth. The inspiration for the ritual itself and the overall visual style was inspired by the history and accounts of pagan rituals, as well as the current occult movements. The song’s emotions are translated narratively, through the story of a person metaphorically taking a glimpse at what their life would have been, had they stayed on their original track.”
