Commented SWORN ENEMY guitarist Lorenzo Antonucci: "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."
SWORN ENEMY's new album, "Maniacal", is scheduled for release in North America on February 12, 2008 via Century Media Records. The CD was produced by Tim Lambesis (AS I LAY DYING) and Joey Z (LIFE OF AGONY),who took a very hands-on approach to this album.
"Maniacal" takes SWORN ENEMY's sound to new heights with a thrashier edge pummelling the listener with a furiously blasting impact and unrivalled heaviness that is reminiscent of thrash titans like EXODUS, TESTAMENT as well as early MEGADETH and ANTHRAX.
Adding to the all-star cast in support of this release, Jordan Mancino of AS I LAY DYING recorded all drum tracks for the album. As a fan and friend of the band, Jordan was excited to be a part of this project and did an amazing job laying down a brutal rhythmical fundament for "Maniacal". Drums were recorded at Big Fish Studios, all guitars were nailed down at Method Of Groove Studio, and vocals at Studio Lambesis, whereas mixing duties were handled by the up-and-coming producer Daniel Castleman (DESTROY THE RUNNER, WINDS OF PLAGUE).
