Sworn Enemy Announces North American Tour With Reunited Earth Crisis
SWORN ENEMY kicks of the North American touring cycle for their highly acclaimed new album, Maniacal, 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. Either see below or visit www.myspace.com/swornenemy to view their complete touring itinerary.
Lorenzo Antonucci (guitars) further comments: “We are excited to be a part of the long-awaited Earth Crisis reunion tour. It’s been over six years and people have to be pumped for this. I remember talking to Karl (Earth Crisis vocalist) a year ago about this amazing tour and I was hoping for it to finally happen because kids need to see a true straight-edge band. We are really happy to be meeting back up with our bros in Terror and reuniting with Shai Hulud, as it’s been years since we’ve played together. It will be good times as well sharing the stage with Down To Nothing and Recon. We can’t wait to see everyone’s reactions to the new songs and we hope to rage with you all soon.”
The hype surrounding the imminent release of the new SWORN ENEMY album, Maniacal, is quite astounding after the band recently annihilated Europe with Hatebreed, Agnostic Front and Ignite. Maniacal, set for a Feb. 12th release, is unquestionably their most impressive and destructive release yet. 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.

“Their best work ever…though they’ve always been a band with potential, maybe they never knew their own strength. Now, others will know.” — Metal Edge
“The best album in their 10-year history…a excellent sonic slab of hate.” — Metal Hammer
“By far the most thrash-oriented and aggressive album of their career…a massive blend of hardcore breakdowns, lightning-fast riffs and powerful grooves.” — Rock Hard
