The Lovers/The Devil is the second album from American metalcore band Sworn In. It was released by Razor & Tie Recordings on April 7, 2015.[1]

Concept

According to frontman Tyler Dennen,[2] The Lovers/The Devil is a 2-part concept album about destructive relationships. The first part is "The Lovers" and goes on in the first 7 tracks and the second part is "The Devil" and goes on for the remaining 6 tracks. It progresses around a love story between an obssesive, romantic, emotionally unstable boy and a bitter, distant and cold girl. On the halway of the album, the roles are reversed as the boy becomes cold and distant, after he realises the girl does not love him back and the girl realises she made a mistake and goes on to solve it. Dennen cited as inspiration for the album the bad relationship between his parents and bad relationships he had gone through.
