Oratory - missing in action

Another Portuguese Metal band that started an international career, but unfortunatelly, this band, although still exists, is long forgotten. I found them in 2000, when they launched their debut album Illusion Dimensions, which was really promising. Two years later, they release a concept album dedicated to the Portuguese Discoveries. Beyond Earth was a bold and risky move, but a victorious bet. Powerful riffs, catchy chorus, and Ana Lara's voice, produced an album that made Oratory in a strong contender in the Metal scene. It was an album full of amazing songs, like this one...

But after this successful start, the band got lost in concerts, and had no releases during 3 years. Interludium, released in 2005, was below par, when compared with Beyond Earth, and was their last work, until now. But the absense of news isn't usually a good sign.
