Sworn Amongst - And So It Begins
Sworn Amongst is a metal four-piece from the Uk that got signed to Rising Records after playing festivals like Bloodstock and Download. The British press is very impressed by these youngsters and the band received many positive reviews after releasing their self-produced and self-released debut album Derision Of Conformity and a self-titled EP. Now it’s time to conquer the rest of the world with their label debut And So It Begins.
The thrash that is presented on And So It Begins isn’t comparable to the “modern thrash” that is played nowadays. This record contains a groove-orientated style, with which they show respect to bands back in the 90s that made the genre. Songs like ‘The Rules Of Engagement’ and ‘Unleash The Power’ are beauties that will definitely please the thrash-fans among you.
Without being a second Trivium, they succeeded in creating a fresh record with songs that will probably do very well live. The occasional clean vocals aren’t their strongest point, but it doesn’t ruin the impact of the album. With their whole lives ahead of them it definitely looks like if the gods are good-tempered for these young metalheads. These guys deserve a change, so go to their myspace, listen to some tracks and bang your fucking head!
