A quick post to say that Oratory is out of cryonics with Nath & Andre. Focusing primarily on new music to drop later in the year. There’s a lot of riffs and arrangements and art to be sorted through between now and then. It’s good to be re-animated. Next update will be when new music becomes available.

Ropes Are The Arteries Through Pain video out now. The final item Oratory will be releasing. Please click the link the bio to watch the video on YouTube to help our view count. This video was to be the third and final instrumental in a trilogy of videos preceding it - alas, the album will be in crryonic suspension for the envisioned future. Directed, shot, lit and edited by Matt Power from @roughcutvideoproduction on location in Nambour in the Sunshine Coast region of Queensland Australia at @badhabitrecordsandcollectables and @oldambulancestation . Produced by Nathan Chow and Matt Power. Special thanks to Tom Sutton @obitomkenobi76 for guest appearance, Aaron Borg for Production help and Kalani Allard @kalani_a_138 for audio operation and assistance.
Recorded, mixed & mastered by Ben Thomson at Eternity Ward studios.
Oratory in 2024 was Ben Thomson, Chris Farrer and Nathan Chow.
Sad news. Oratory ends today. Life’s pulling everyone in different directions which leaves little focus time for the band. Unfortunately our record is not complete and won’t see the light of day for the foreseeable future.The 6 main people who’ve played in this band over the last 4.5 years have created a heavy metal alloy that no other band could create. Through thick and thin, we did some real living in this band. That’s for sure. We want to thank Aaron Borg and Bad Habit Records for believing in what we do and affording us incredible opportunity over the years. We also want to thank Matt Bach and Via studios for helping us create our energy and woodshed our ideas. Finally we want to send great comrade love and adoration to Grieg for always looking after us and playing live shows with you. To have played our first show with you, it may as well have been opening for Cheap Trick at Budokan. Thank you to anyone who bought our records, shirts or came and saw a show. You are appreciated.
One last thing is that we’re sitting on 2 boxes of Inner Pyre and Dark Void Ray shirts. It would help us out immeasurably if you bought one from us so that we don’t have to sleep on these boxes for the rest of time. Please message this account to organize shipping or local drop off. $25 Small to XL sizes available.
Until we meet again. Peace.
Thank you to Swak the maniac sprayer who put this mural up of @murdochstafford ’s Inner Pyre artwork in the Sunshine Coast at @badhabitrecordsandcollectables ahead of the vinyl release on the 24th. So killer.
In some better news here is Scott Carlson from Repulsion, Death Breath and Cathedral in an Oratory Dark Void Ray long sleeve. Totally killer Halloween costumes on the puppies! ⚡️💀 🐶
We just received the last 20 pink copies available for the Dark Viid Ray 7” - after this it’s sold out. It’s been selling super well from @badhabitrecordsandcollectables and retail stores. We’ll have the online store up with these and shirts this weekend. Don’t sleep on it. They’re moving fast.
