Abacus Recs signs Sworn Enemy

New York's Sworn Enemy have now officially signed with Abacus Recordings. The group originally signed with Abacus parent Century Media Records in May, but have apparently been shifted to the Abacus roster. The band recently finished recording their sophomore album, "The Beginning Of The End," at Big Fish Studios in San Diego. The effort was engineered by Steve Russell, produced by Tim Lambesis (of As I Lay Dying), and mixed by Zeuss. Abacus will release the album on October 18th. According to frontman Sal LoCoco, the new material "signifies a new chapter for us as a band, a new style of music. We don’t follow any trends. We do it from the heart."

id rather be on abacus...century media has about 6 good bands out of 87

xtroyx 8/4/2005 11:29:35 PM

what? century media has many good bands. abacus bands never go anywhere. they are so mediocre, each and every one... like maroon. worst band.

SeveredInTwo 8/5/2005 1:56:21 AM

Sworn Enemy shouldnt even be signed to any label, yet people think they play good music

axl_bundy 8/5/2005 2:30:24 AM

picturesofme 8/5/2005 3:24:03 AM

Abacus is seriously fcking up big time as of late. they have some completely awesome bands (Swarm of the Lotus, R4, etc)...but first the Juliana Theory, and now this. bleh.

btyou 8/5/2005 3:33:58 AM
