Oathean is a Korean black metal band that formed in 1993 originally under the name Odin, for the Norse/Scandinavian god. They went on a short hiatus and then changed their name three years later. Unlike most black metal bands, Oathean's lyrics deal with sadness and depression rather than satanic and anti-Christian themes. Their particular style of metal is influenced by folk metal, and incorporates Korean world music with the use of traditional Korean instruments such as the haegeum and daegeum.
