Sworn is a relatively unknown band from Armenia. It was formed by 5 youngsters in 2003, playing extreme progressive metal in the vein of Opeth and Novembre, with influences from Emperor and Katatonia. They have released 2 full-length albums in 2005, and 2006, both of them can be downloaded from the bands official website, http://www.sworn.am. some songs from the last album can also be heard on the band's MySpace.



listen and comment.

Downloading now, and listening to the samples on myspace. This is great stuff.

Downloaded the tracks from the 'Tended High' album and really enjoying it, again, great stuff. Need to grab the rest to make a proper verdict but already im really liking it.

Well finished getting therest of their stuff, still like it. Though the mood im in from been listening to Black Metal for the last few days hasnt really gotten me into wanting to listen to them.

Different tastes like different music... maybe with a little more listening you might like them? I dont know your taste in music so upto you I guess.

Thought it was the Norwegian Sworn which isn't anything spectacular at all! I will give em' a listen later though! I'm almost on my way home!

No wai, had no idea this thread existed. I also had no idea that their albums were free O.o Randomly got hold of Tended High a year or so ago and loved it from the off. I don't really see a huge amount of Opeth in it, or any of the other bands mentioned to be honest but they are slightly progressive and certainly have a fairly unique sound without alienating listeners. Not to mention fucking awesome. 'In My Soul Despair' is an absolute ch00n.

Is 'The Rise' as good as Tended High? I've heard it's more black metal orientated?

I don't like Tended High so much . My loved album from sworn <<Of euphoria>>(2006) .It's a very powerfull atmospheric black . I search for the analogue to This album ! somebody can help me with this ??
