All Smiles is the third full-length album by metalcore band Sworn In. It was released via Fearless Records on 30 June 2017. [4]
The record is the last to include vocalist Tyler Dennen, following his second leaving from the band, which occurred in June 2018 (almost a full year after this album's release).
All Smiles is a notable departure from the band's "moshable" metalcore style that Sworn In were known for on their previous records. The album instead draws more on eccentric influences such as nu metal, noise and dark ambient. [2] [1] [3]

Metalcore is a broadly defined fusion genre combining elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, that originated in the late 1980s. Metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, which are slow, intense passages conducive to moshing, while other defining instrumentation includes heavy guitar riffs often utilizing percussive pedal tones and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically perform screaming; more popular bands often combine this with the use of standard singing, usually during the bridge or chorus of a song. However, the death growl is also a popular technique within the genre.
