The sophomore studio long-player from the nihilistic, Grayslake, Illinois-based metalcore outfit, the Razor & Tie-issued
The Lovers/The Devil is a largely conceptual affair that chronicles the slow and painful demise of a destructive relationship, with one half of the record (The Lovers) focusing on romantic desperation and the other (The Devil) on bitterness and paranoia. Produced by
Will Putney (
Amity Affliction,
For Today), the 13-track LP is the first set of new material from
Sworn In since they broke into the Billboard 200 in 2013 with the well-received
Death Card. ~ James Christopher Monger
