Release Date: 2008-03-12
With their new album Maniacal utilizing more melody, Sworn Enemy sounds more like a straight-ahead metal band channeling the ’80s legends. Raised on hints of the New York hardcore scene, they write dense songs with grinding rhythms and fast-paced vocals, but still make them easy to sing along to — not an easy feat for a hardcore metal band. $15/20, 6pm, The White Rabbit, 2410 N. St. Mary’s, (210) 737-2221.
