BIOGRAPHY/REVIEW:
(http://www.oratoriometal.com/)
Oratorio was founded in 1998 in Nurmijärvi, Finland. Band's name was picked randomly from an encyclopedia, and as it meant a religious music piece, it felt suitable for the band. The first line-up was:In 2006, the time was right for the second album. The band decided not to publish the second album through Rivel Records, but through Mata Records, which was Thomas' and his brother Peter's own record label. The band wanted to make a huge improvent for their sound, so they decided to take more time for the recordings. Drums were recorded in Fantom-studio, Tampere, and all other instruments and Vocals were recorded in D-studio, Klaukkala. This felt like right decision, because now the band had enough time to record in their own peace. The album was mixed in Fantom-studio. After a lot of stress and hurry, the work paid off: Oratorio's second album, ”Redemption” was released in time. The release-gig took place in Turku 18th November 2006 (Maata Näkyvissä- festarit, the Biggest Christian youth Festival In The Nordic Countries), and next week it hit the finnish charts! It was in 36th place in the official chart of Finland. The release-gig was a success, and now the band is waiting enthusiastically to make more gigs!The form of Oratorio's music has changed a lot during the past nine years. But the contents have remained the same: The forward-pushing force of the band has always been the gospel of Jesus Christ. The band's lyrics don't want to hit you on the head with the Bible, but talk about life as a christian. As people, we all are weak and we have many struggles in our lives. Life as a christian is not always easy, but we believe that God is able to carry us when we are weak. In our weakness, the Christ's redeeming power is glorified. With Jesus Christ we have everything and without him we have nothing.(John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life:No man cometh unto the Father, but by me(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
