Stream on youtube

While not being entirely a concept-album, the material written for this album has a clear connection, both lyrically and musically. In search for atmosphere and feeling, this album is darker and more intense than our previous albums. It contains the band’s longest track yet, and there is even one track that can be perceived as progressive. Still remaining true to the style of Sworn, playing melodic and atmospheric black metal. The band feels that they have nailed it on this one. Since the release on the 21st of june, most fans have also considered this their strongest album yet.

Currently over at metalstorm.net the album is ranked #1 for “Top albums of 2023”, based on votes from the community.The band has worked with Dan Swanö at Unisound who has done both mix and master, and it sounds as you would expect from that guy, massive!
