SWORN ENEMY are nothing new in the scene. They have steadily built their career based on a string of successful releases and their energetic live shows. They now present their brand new full-length work, which is followed by a tour with PRO-PAIN, and immediately after that they jump into the Hell On Earth Tour with a billing that includes bands like NEAERA, WAR FROM A HARLOTS MOUTH, EARTH CRISIS and more (I would kill to see this tour)!

A new SWORN ENEMY album is always good news, at least for me. Still a proud member of Century Media Records, the band continues its legacy by releasing one more quality and aggressive as fuck album. Total World Domination also introduces us J-Rad, the band's new drum destroyer, since on their last album the drums were recorded by AS I LAY DYING's own Jordan Mancino.

Even though this metallic Hardcore sound has ended up being a bit boring, since most bands copy each other producing an uninspired sound, SWORN ENEMY are one of the few acts that follow a successful path by releasing high quality albums full of great riffing, macho attitude and beatdown moments that challenge you to bang your fucking head (well, if you don't, it probably means you are a pussy). Total World Domination is one more album that contains all of our favorite SWORN ENEMY elements, including this killer guitar duet, Sal's highly energetic vocal performance and a kickass rhythm section that literally kills!

On top of that, you also get a cool BLOOD FOR BLOOD cover and the band's totally fun atmosphere (listen to the ending of Step In The Ring and you will understand). Oh, I almost forgot one more basic thing. The bone crushing sound the band once again has and makes its music seem like a fully armed tank ready to gun you down!
