Product Description
The Sword is a colossal, high-energy powerhouse. Utilizing a potent combination of intense songwriting chemistry, eye-opening creativity and talent and a distinctly unique vision, The Sword is, without question, one of heavy music's most electrifying new bands. Conceived in Austin in 2003, The Sword took the form of a cohesive quartet in early 2004 when J.D. Cronise (guitar/vocals), Kyle Shutt (guitar), Bryan Richie (bass) and Trivett Wingo (drums) joined forces. Inspired by such legendary names as Sleep, Slayer and The Melvins, the four-piece immediately began to construct the songs that would soon comprise their initial demo recording. In February 2006 The Sword released a mind-blowing, nine-song journey titled 'Age Of Winters' on New York based label Kemado Records. The release sent shockwaves throughout the hard rock community at large across the USA and Europe and had them featured alongside Wolfmother and Black Mountain as the leaders of what the media have been calling 'hipster metal'. The band now unveil their second album 'Gods Of The Earth'. 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, while the ominous vocals of front man J.D. 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'.
