Sworn In

Abrasive, erratic metalcore that feels like a panic attack in a hall of mirrors. Dissonant, theatrical, and deeply unsettling music for the edge of a breakdown.

Intro

Sworn In sounds like the precise moment a machine breaks under too much tension. It is a jagged, uncomfortable blend of metalcore and deathcore that prioritizes psychological distress over traditional song structure. The guitars often eschew melody for dissonant 'panic chords' and screeching feedback, while the drums provide a stuttering, unpredictable foundation that keeps the listener perpetually off-balance.

What truly sets them apart is the theatricality of their misery. The vocals transition seamlessly from guttural roars to desperate, whispered spoken-word passages that sound like they were recorded in a confession booth. There is a distinct 'nu-metal' influence in the way they lean into melodrama and raw, unfiltered emotional honesty, creating a sound that is as much about the visual and atmospheric 'vibe' as it is about the riffs.

For those new to the chaos, 'The Death Card' is the essential starting point for their rawest energy, while 'All Smiles' offers a more polished, albeit equally deranged, exploration of their experimental side. It is music designed to be felt in the gut and the nerves, perfect for when you need a soundtrack that matches the intensity of your own internal friction.

Sworn In was an American metalcore band from Grayslake, Illinois. The band was formed in 2011 and split up in 2022. They were signed to Razor & Tie from May 2013 to the summer of 2016, after which they were signed to Fearless Records.
