hey if you like stoner/doom metal come check out my solo project called hydrus!I play the same style as other great doom/stoner metal bands such as saint vitus,witch,sons of otis,pentagram,goatsnake etc.!come check out my channel and my music!there will be much more to come...
Saw these guys open for metallica in 09'. they played this and one other. it was fucking epic! bad mix tho i couldnt even hear the vocals. Still fucking baddass tho!
One day I ´m going to be old. I´m going to sit in my living room with a nice spliff in my hand in front of the fire place listening to the sword and enjoy the rest of my life.
they toured australia with fear factory & metallica ...bit spewin i didnt get there till fear factory, these guys a fuckin awesome ...black sabbath eat ur hwart our, luv it!!
check out ...(the sign of the southern) if u like Down/Panter or Sabbath
I think I'm getting obsessed with the whole idea of the words "Iron Swan" I can't fucking stop thinking about how fucking beautiful and badass an iron swan could be...or maybe I just fuck around too much when I'm drunk.
@Thepainofbeingdeadx Or maybe your crackhead mom dropped you on your head too much when you were an infant. You literally sound like you are retarded. Now shut the fuck up.
@libertycityfilms whatsup amn?? i agree to many homo's on here wanna argue about subgenres in metal who cares if its scrap metal power thrash or whatever black dark christian blah blah blah.
Respond to this video... the new album has a classic rock vibe more than the first 2 albums who sound like doom to me ala black sabbath style. check out sheavy there a metal / stoner band that jams like shit too!!! i always thught it was spelled shevy. i was wrong though
@33Sexybeast He's just saying that part sounds like that part of "Raining Blood" just before the first verse and a few other spots in the song, which it does. It's just the picking style that they used at that part. Not a big deal, a lot of different bands have used that chugging riff. It's basically a thrash staple riff.
is it bad that i want the intro to be part of a different song. if they made a middle and an end to go with that intro then i would like it a bit more
Which old Metallica song does this remind me of? IDK, but since they've lost their fucking minds these days (or their balls, at least) I'll take "sounds like old Metallica for 1000", Alex.
God, this really brings me back. I miss the Sword. Their new stuff is alright, better than a lot of todays music... But I really miss this side of them.
@Peterfile03 I concur. Of course it's okay. Metal is universal, not just for white guys, in fact, check out Tobin Abasi. He's black and is one of the best modern guitarists in metal.
@RandomJackOfDoom I think he meant that Deathklok96 is a dumbass for even thinking it a logical question, asking if a human being of different race can like metal, thus displaying his lack of understanding towards the word "Equality."
@VosotrosEterno Not sure I'd put Slayer on that list, but I think I'd add Deep Purple, too. Agree on the badass combo - and somehow they add a modern touch!
it's a shame there vocals don't really add to their music. I love the instrument work it's great, but the vocals don't really match up for me. Maybe i just need to listen more.
This is a different version than what I have on my iPod...did they release this on a demo first or something? A great song no matter how you look at it but I have to say I liked the other version better =/

Great band. It is like a group of elegant daemons spreading their wings and floating into a river of doom and eternal agony, then taking a swim through the murky marsh and drowning some nymphs and mermaids in their own humors of decadent depravity... great band.. raise high your sword and march into the endless river of oblivion.. great post mate.. peace.
This is one of my all time favorite metal songs. when i saw the sword a few days after gods of the earth came out and they played this, best moment of my life.
@RandomJackOfDoom The starting guitar melody in the intro does sound very simular in some ways to Maiden. The drumming and heavy riff which follows reminds me more of that classic stonerrock we all adore, kinda reminds me of High on Fire with a different type of vocals if you wanted me to say something more nice about your beloved band The Sword. I declare you enlightened, because that intro certainly reminded me of Iron Maiden long before I saw this discussion
@RandomJackOfDoom No problem. Besides I only said the guitar reminded me of Maiden, the drum beat next to it is more kind of a spaghetti western really so its still pretty awesome and original
