Sworn Enemy Completes Successful Japanese Run; Posts New Commercial Online
New York’s SWORN ENEMY recently completed their inaugural Japanese trip, when the group co-headlined the country’s Pump Up The Volume festivals in Kawasaki and Osaka. This marked the second international tour in support of the group’s critically acclaimed new album Maniacal, which is set for a Feb. 12th release. A new 30-second commercial spot, featuring clips from their new video, “A Place of Solace,” is now available for viewing at the link below.

Lorenzo Antonucci (guitars) states: “We just got back from our trip to Japan and can’t begin to explain how amazing it was. The people in Japan treated us with so much respect. It was our first time there and we were getting stopped in the streets to sign CD’s and to take pictures, which was awesome. The shows were even better than expected, and it was an awesome feeling. We had a great time sharing the stage with Bane, Misery Signals, Set Your Goals, among others.
“We are currently preparing for our upcoming onslaught of North America alongside Earth Crisis and Terror. We can’t wait to see people’s reactions to the new material and look forward to meeting everyone on the road. Be sure to come by the merch booth and say hello. SWORN ENEMY has never been more lethal, so prepare to be annihilated.”
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.

Throw all your preconceived notions out the window, because this is an all new SWORN ENEMY, determined to carve out their own unique new path within the metal genre.

“The best album in their 10-year history…a excellent sonic slab of hate.”
— Metal Hammer
“Maniacal is harsh as hell and relentless in delivery.” — Outburn
