Sworn In guitarist departs band

Illinois metalcore outfit Sworn In have lost their guitarist today, with the news that Zakary Gibson has stepped down.

Gibson has been in the band for five years, and tweeted that he was making an “important move” by leaving the act. Read the tweets below.

Sworn In started gaining traction last year when they released ‘The Lovers/The Devil’ via Razor & Tie. Read our review of the work which “pulls the listener in, and rewards their attention with some of the darkest, heaviest diverse metal on the market” here.
