BBV Direct Import - Greece 1 Per Customer Please.

Marbled Red & Black Vinyl with printed inner sleeve (250 copies).

The compositional progress of the melodic black metallers Sworn from Bergen, Norway, has been evident in every new record they have presented since their debut “The Alleviation” (2007). But even their most ardent supporters would not have expected such a masterpiece album as “A Journey Told Through Fire“, which was released in the middle of this year and left speechless all who had the chance to listen to it. Without a trace of exaggeration, Sworn have created a colossal black metal album, the fifty minutes of which are heard all at once, as there is not a second that the interest is lost.

Both melodic and extreme, “A Journey Told Through Fire” is bursting with fresh ideas while at the same time keeping all the ingredients of the Norwegian Black Metal scene, evolving them through their personal filter, where the excellent guitar riffs dominate. Add to all of this Dan Swano‘s formidable production and the result is a nightmarishly beautiful album that is surely among the most valuable of 2023.

Whether they will get recognition or not is a completely different story. As various commentators on the band’s youtube videos have rightly pointed out, this is a hugely underrated band that deserves immediate recognition. At least as far as we’re concerned, when we first heard “A Journey Told Through Fire“, admitted we’d do whatever we could to get it out on vinyl. And so that time has arrived.

A “Journey Told Through Fire” released initially as a digital release only, shortly followed up with a self-released CD. There was a huge demand for physical format, specially vinyl. Together with The Circle Music, we are able to make this happen for the fans, and are very excited to work with them on releasing “A Journey Told Through Fire” on vinyl.
