THE SWORD return to the Europe and Germany supporting the mighty Metallica on over 20+ arena shows playing to over 300,000++ people. The German leg includes 7 shows and they will be playing material from their epic Gods of the Earth album and material from their debut Age of Winters, The Sword are set to entertain and win over a whole new legion of fans to their just cause… the riff. To celebrate, the band are releasing a Limited Edition Boxset Double CD package of these two albums that also includes a Die-Cut Sticker to tie in with the dates and single download release.
Conceived in Austin, TX, The Sword took the form of a cohesive quartet in early 2004 when guitarist / singer J.D. Cronise, guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo joined forces. The Sword’s live shows quickly became the hottest ticket in Austin, as their punishing yet melodious compositions, mythical imagery and conscious effort to slowly immobilize audiences left music fans astonished, while word about the band continued to flourish and grow. In the fall of 2005, The Sword found a home at Kemado Records, and their critically acclaimed debut Age of Winters was released in February 2006.
From the moment Gods of the Earth’s lead track ‘The Sundering’ explodes, it is immediately apparent that The Sword has upped the ante on a sound all it’s own. More ambitious, more accomplished and simply bigger, Gods of the Earth’s huge, mountaintop-friendly hooks, thunderous drumming and oceanic bass lines cut through the air like a scythe taking down all in the band’s path. The ominous vocals of Cronise weave fantastical tales rife with myth and mythology. Waves of powerful riffs and low-end thunder dominate songs such as the immediate ‘Maiden, Mother & Crone’, ‘Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians’, ‘Under the Boughs’ and the paralyzing ‘The Black River’. Gods of the Earth instantly conveys what words can only try to describe: The Sword is not to be taken lightly.
