Sworn to the Dark is inspired and contains the characteristic guitar playing of Pelle Forsberg, both melodic & incisive, in a very personal brand. The album is marked by great moments, like the excellent opening track Legions Of The Black Light or the eponymous Sworn to the Dark, with a succession of catchy riffs and more serene passages, giving so many terrain and intensity to the album. Also the songs are brilliantly linked, and ultimately restore an atmosphere both dark & powerful, forming a set of high homogeneity, extending over a total period of 57 minutes without length. The choice of studios Necromorbus proves once again wise, the sound engineer Tore Stjärna book as usual and produce a deep, dark atmospheres restoring and preserving the essence of the compositions of the trio. 15/20

Their worst. Not only are most of the songs rather mediocre compared to their earlier and later material, but the sound is complete shit on this one as well. Polished and plastic sounding compressed shit production.

OK, Trident Wolf Curse proved to be a weaker album than this. STTD is not a bad album musically, though. It's mostly its plastic production that drags it down. I want it rawer.

I really dig Watain's albums, but this particular one is hard for me to get into. The songs and album sound/production is just too weak (and plastic) for my taste. Some say that they think this is their most "commercial" and "easy to get into" kind of album, but I can't feel it, nor the opposite way around. Their other albums are better, particularly Casus Luciferi and Lawless Darkness. This one feels neither catchy or epic, just lost somewhere in between.
