Straight outta
Queens, New York comes a new leader of hardcore as
we know it. Seen by many as the kid brother band of
Hatebreed, Jamey Jasta took Sworn Enemy under his
wing and now they are one fucking diesel kid brother.
Holding down the space between Hatebreed and Madball
soundwise, Sworn Enemy have dropped ten tracks of
pure, streetwise rage. From the 9/11 tribute/revenge
track "Sworn Enemy", to fighting everyday life with
"These Tears", Sworn Enemy reinvents the wheel of
beatdown NYC hardcore. Avoiding any of the trapings
that some hardcore bands, both new and old school,
can fall into, Sworn Enemy brings something fresh to
the table. With just enough metal behind their sound
to draw in anyone that digs heavy crunch, Sworn Enemy
will be pulling hordes of new listeners to be tested
in trial by fire in the pit at their shows. Buy this
cd, because, to quote the Enemy boys, "THIS IS AS
REAL AS IT GETS!"
