Sworn Amongst release new music video for ‘Restitution’

SWORN AMONGST have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Restitution, is the brand new single from the UK metalcore band and marks their first new music since 2020’s Crucify and 2019’s Reclamation EP.

Speaking about the new single, the band says, Restitution is a conceptual piece born from the German phrase ‘Man sieht sich immer zweimal im Leben’, the translation being ‘In life, you always meet twice’. In short, this phrase urges us to be wary of burning bridges with our acquaintances, as there is always a chance you may meet later in life. The lyrics explore the theoretical actions of somebody who has been spurned and are a criticism of those who fail to heed such a warning. Those people who all too eagerly burn those bridges, and the consequences of those actions. The title Restitution born from the fact that if we refrain from burning our bridges, new life may be given to relationships further down the line.”

The release of the new single comes as the band mark their return since going on hiatus. Speaking about their return, the band says, “during the 2020 pandemic we made a collective decision to put SWORN AMONGST on hiatus, reason for this was genuinely down to commitment within the band. We’ve now brought SWORN back to life with original members as we all feel that spark again, to write music and tour together. We will be playing two hometown shows in Hull & Derby, as well as two full length tours towards the end of Q3 and some festival appearances which we can’t name yet.

Our new EP is an honorable mention to the album where it all started, during 2020 it would’ve been ten years since our album Severance was release which through that we were able to experience things we’d only dreamed of. This new venture is a mixture of that and a modern twist, something for old and new fans to enjoy and relate to. We feel it’s our best material yet.”
