Black / Thrash act DESECRATOR, featuring guitarist Anders Iwers and CRYSTAL AGE guitarist Oscar Dronjac, released the 1989 demo cassette 'Wake The Dead' and a 1990, three song demo 'Black Sermons'. Iwers and Dronjac subsequently evolved the band into CEREMONIAL OATH.

Frontman Oscar Dronjac later came to the fore as founder member of HAMMERFALL whilst Iwers went on to CEMETARY, alongside drummer Markus Nordberg, and TIAMAT.
