After a very long wait, Norwegian band Sworn has announced a new album is scheduled to drop in 2017. The group comments:

"Good evening. The wait is finally over! We've finished writing our third full-length album, and will enter recording studios this winter. The album will contain 10 songs in total. 8 brand new tracks, 1 re-release and 1 cover which we're pretty sure a lot of fans of the genre will appreciate.

"We're extremely satisfied with the material and for those who might wonder what Sworn will sound like in 2017, you can expect the classic atmospheric Sworn style like the tracks 'Alleviation,' 'Prophecies from the Land of Lost Voices,' 'Damnation Spawned,' etc.

"We will not reveal more at this point, but will get back to you with title, cover art, track list, studio reports and more. Stay tuned!
