Sworn Amongst - And So It Begins

2008 debut full-length album from Sworn Amongst, a Metal quartet from the UK. After five years of solid graft, their brutal combination of grooving melodic Thrash Metal has seen them gain a place in the roster of up and coming label Rising Records. Kerrang! Are keen followers, and the band made masses of fans in the Snickers/Kerrang! Unsigned competition of 2005 to win a slot at Download Festival at Donington Park. They went down a storm, and were selected for the final three by a public vote, finishing second overall, in turn ensuring many thousands of hits on their website. Last year, following on from the success of their self-produced, self-released debut album Derision of Conformity, the band appeared at Bloodstock Festival alongside acts such as Primal Fear, Death Stars and My Dying Bride, attracting a sizeable crowd during their main-stage performance.
