SWORN ENEMY have returned with a scathing new assault, Maniacal, that 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 and pummeling the listener with unrivaled aggression times reminiscent of thrash titans like Exodus and Testament, as well as early Megadeth and Anthrax. Set for a Feb. 2008 release, Maniacal was co-produced by As I Lay Dying vocalist Tim Lambesis and Life of Agony guitarist Joey Z, with Daniel Castleman (Destroy The Runner, Winds Of Plague) handling all mixing duties.
The band’s dynamic guitar tandem, composed of founding member Lorenzo Antonucci and Jamin Hunt, will definitely catch people’s attention with their jaw-dropping dual-guitar shredding, while vocalist Sal LoCoco delivers his most angst ridden performance yet. However, the most notable addition to the fold for this recording has to be the highly acclaimed Jordan Mancino (As I Lay Dying), who plays drums on all of the album’s tracks. As a fan and friend of the band, Jordan was excited to be a part of this project and his playing laid down a perfect foundation that took the album to another level.
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.
