biography
Not to be confused with the Canadian heavy metal band from the late '80s, named simply Sword, the Sword is a retro-metal four-piece hailing from -- of all places -- the singer/songwriter oasis of Austin, TX. First conceived in 2003, the Sword really hit their stride about a year later, when founding vocalist and guitarist J.D. Cronise joined forces with guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo, and made a much raved-over appearance at Austin's famed SXSW festival. National touring stints with everyone from Clutch to indie rock darlings ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead followed, and by mid-2005 the Sword had been picked up by New York-based indie label Kemado Records, with their much-anticipated debut album, Age of Winters, appearing early the next year. Before completing their second album, they contributed two songs (one original and one Led Zeppelin cover) to a split 12" EP with Swedish heavy rockers Witchcraft in November 2007. Gods of the Earth arrived in spring 2008. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia, All Music Guide

- Wrote this once, and it belongs here:
"This is one of the best fucking bands I've ever heard. Channeling the Ghosts of Kyuss, adding riffs that hit like a fucking claidhmore (claymore) to the skull, spouting lyrics I could march to an epic battle by, these guys rule all."
This band is absolute unbridled badass.
I can't stop listening, even more so having seen them live now. Don't miss out. - 6 out of 6 people
