Sworn Enemy Unleashes Maniacal

New York's Sworn Enemy have returned with Maniacal, their most crushing offering to date, and this monumental assault is quickly going to catch the entire genre’s attention.

Featuring a newly reinvigorated lineup and new home at Century Media, this 10-track offering takes the group’s sound to new heights, which sees them embracing a thrashier edge and pummeling the listener with unrivaled aggression. Maniacal is now available everywhere. The band was also recently featured on MTV News’ Metal File, and click on the link below to check it out.

Lorenzo Antonucci (guitars) states: “Our new record is by far our best and thrashiest work yet. These songs are meant to be played live. We're focused on changing the way people perceived us in the past, and convincing them that SWORN ENEMY is a real band with the right attitude. Maniacal is the proof of that.”

A video for the track “A Place of Solace” was recently shot by acclaimed director David Brodsky (Gwar, The Red Chord). Look for it to make its debut later this month, but in the meantime, click the link below to view behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot, which took place in an abandoned mental institution in the NYC area.

Sworn Enemy kicks off the North American touring cycle for Maniacal, co-produced by Tim Lambesis (As I Lay Dying) and Joey Z (Life of Agony), on Feb. 29th as part of the much-anticipated Earth Crisis reunion tour, a month-long trek which also features Terror, Shai Hulud, Down To Nothing and Recon.
