New York’s SWORN ENEMY will continue to bring the metal to the masses via a slew of North American touring activity to support the release of their new album Maniacal. Having toured Europe, Japan and the U.S. in recent weeks, they will continue their unrelenting schedule on April 14th with a series of headlining dates leading them immediately into a tour with labemates Divine Heresy. From A Second Story Window (Blackmarket/Metal Blade), With Blood Comes Cleansing (Victory) and Dance Club Massacre (Blackmarket/Metal Blade) round out the bill.

Comments guitarist Lorenzo Antonucci: "We just finished the Firestorm Fest with Earth Crisis, Terror and Shai Hulud, and though it was an honor to be part of such an amazing tour, we can’t wait to bang our heads with Divine Heresy. This tour is going to be a rager, and we are very happy to be a part of it."

SWORN ENEMY will then spend May supporting Dying Fetus, further proving just how diverse their live show is and that they can easily stand tall and win over any crowd. Origin and Thy Will Be Done will be opening all of these shows. Either see below or visit http://www.myspace.com/swornenemy to view their complete touring itinerary.

"People sometimes forget that we’ve toured with heavy bands like Slayer, Cradle of Filth and Six Feet Under," Antonucci says. "Our best tours have always been with metal bands, and we’re excited to once again be the underdog. We appreciate having the opportunity to show people just how heavy we can be. It’s time to rage!"

SWORN ENEMY have returned with Maniacal, their most crushing offering to date and a monumental assault that quickly caught the entire genre?s attention. Featuring a newly reinvigorated lineup and new home at Century Media, this 10-track offering takes the group?s sound to new heights, which sees them embracing a thrashier edge and pummeling the listener with unrivaled aggression. Maniacal is now available everywhere.

A video for ?A Place of Solace,? the first single from Maniacal, was recently shot by acclaimed director David Brodsky (GWAR, The Red Chord). Click the following link below to check it out.
