[olystercrowley]

This group sounds a lot like Priestess ... (Kwim-oOci1Q) except Priestess are better musicians and better composers ...

[steevaloopa]

this upload needs to be LOUDER. LOUDER YOU FOOLS!! [shakes fist]

[YourZabbas]

More people would like wolfmother if they would sound like these guys.

[aerocmetallica1995]

@YourZabbas Hey, Wolfmother's pretty good and they're making their music the way they want to

[calliodiggler]

This is maybe the best Sabbath tribute band I've ever heard.

[davesnothere26]

Turn this shit up loud. Really turn it up loud or you wont be able to hear it.

[ClawHammmered]

Fuckin Texans, what do they know about winter?!

That said, I love these guys.

[parrottfamily3]

@ClawHammmered ha ha ha ha ha haha ha im from texas and that is sooooo true!

[jlawrence6340]

@ClawHammmered I mean, they did record in New York... js

[boredperson81]

wtf children of the grave?

[filth69ify1]

fuck yeah this is metal that literally kicks ass! can someone give me names of bands that are similiar to the sword? i really like this barbaric cool style of metal.

[Skateoftheunion]

@filth69ify1 Electric Wizard, Sleep, Weedeater, Alabama Thunderpussy, Slo Burn, Acid King, Spirit Caravan

[filth69ify1]

@Skateoftheunion dude Electric Wizard are kings! i fucking love there style, its very VERY HEAVY lol. i bet they are probably the best of this genre eh? thanks a bunch for the list, i checked some of the bands out yesterday like sleep and acid king already the others are cool too but electric wizard really captured my ears more than the others. so far the sword and electric wizard are my favorite from this style of metal. thanks again mate i appreciate it and stay metal \m/

[Skateoftheunion]

@filth69ify1 Yeah Electric Wizard is great. I mean there are a TON of doomy/stoner/epic mountain/druid/space trucker bands out there. Check out Orange Goblin, Invasion, Fu Manchu, Bongripper, Zoroaster, Unida, Ghost, Eyehategod, Eternal Elysium, Witch, Acid Witch, Satan, I could go on....

Anyway yeah, enjoy dude. It's all great stuff.

[heshwizard]

@filth69ify1 witch, black pyramid

[zztosha]

@filth69ify1 If you're looking for "barbaric" style of metal, you should definitely check out High On Fire.

[thenoorys]

@filth69ify1 Valient Thorr

[assbean182]

@filth69ify1 Bongzilla and Eyehategod are similar a BADASS.

[metalat4]

absolutely brilliant made it even more worthwhile seeing them with metallica and machine head. they didnt get the audience they deserve, but just ment i definatly got on 1st row

[retroscream]

Are they in the netherlands? Lol

[CTUKeyes]

hmm... they're ok but they are kinda dull...

[therevengeofficial]

if they got a good singer then i would like them..

[wakeuppp913]

@therevengeofficial his vocals are better in warp riders. give that a listen.

[benner666666]

BLACK SABBATH>DOWN>THE SWORD

[snoristerlison]

I sold these guys weed

[noelrocker82]

saw these guys in Vancouver 2008 and June 22nd 2011, so solid, such a sweet sound. epic epic epic.

[devistatedbeaver]

oh somebody told me this concert would be awesome, glad i actually watched the video and didn't just take his word for it....barf

[AnthemForOne]

Seeing them this coming Sunday at a small club in Colorado Springs. Sounds like they'll whip the place into a good frenzy. I'm just beginning to get familiar with this band but I definitely like all I've heard so far.

[hellzeeko]

I saw them at Bonnaroo. They rocked the metal tent's ass.

[deadkenn81]

lololololololololololololololo­lolol

[axlenatore]

Ive seen them live twice already, put on a great show both time and work the crowd well.

[BlackGwarDeath666]

if you like mellow music like this this band is great im just kind of dissappointed cause i was looking for groovy death metal and they gave me this lol but yeah this band is pretty good if your looking for something mellow two horns way up \m/ \m/

[rovirosar]

They are opening for Kyuss Lives in NYC in September. It will be the sickest show ever.

[metalhead22burks]

LOL yea....XD

[metalhead22burks]

78 dislikes......-.- wut in the fuk for!!?

[ElNick09]

@metalhead22burks

Because 78 wolves need to eat, and 78 fools can oblige.

[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@metalhead22burks Some people don't like repetitive and mediocre music. So what?

[TheGrimdoor]

they are gods live. they improve alot. they need to headline more shows. WE WANT THE SWORD. i saw them open for NIN. wierd combo but AWESOME!! they got more chears for encore then trent lol WICK BAND

[BluVoodooOfficial]

[ricardolobatos]

reminds me "Rumors of war" of high on fire good stuff

[gageman70]

@ricardolobatos fucking good song

[MegaHigster]

"I'll mount your head on bloody spears outside your fathers gate"- hell yes!

[cd97peace]

sex6cult ----V You're definitely wrong. Dipshit. Why don't you shove a modest mouse up your snooty ass.

(heheh come on, people! this is how we're SUPPOSED to reply on metal vids heheh. anything else would be...well, insulting)

[SleestaksRule]

Hunger Games

[itsglen9646]

78 were eaten by wolves

[divinityxero]

ahhhhhhh love the sword! :)

[hiinakiirtoit]

strongly reminded me of Embryo by Black Sabbath

[luigiex50]

this is the first song i mosh pitted too in dallas at the granada fucking epic may the sword live long and prosper

[Orphen01]

Way better than Metallica.

[BeeEmEcks]

@MrRobTyner ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS????? u clearly dont know shit about metal. Go listen to ur pathetic Rob Tyner u little faggot, and stay the fuck away from sword videos. YOU ARE NOT WORTHY, YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT.

[Anchupom]

@BeeEmEcks

Don't rise to the troll...

[sex6cult9revolution]

I could be wrong, but I get this overwhelming feeling like the same people in this band and the people who are into them are folks who wouldn't have dug Slayer or Sabbath or whatever when they came out. Like five years earlier they could have sounded like Modest Mouse instead. So it feels insincere to me.

Where as, on the other hand, it'd be hard to imagine Neurosis or Burzum sounding ANYTHING different than how they do.

[Voidchaser]

Sabbath spirit lives strong

[pullbackbaby]

Wow, this sounds like old Trouble, St Vitus or something. Good work guys.

[MrRobTyner]

hipster metal all hipster metal, fags

[simplysean1]

rock and fuckin roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[milkminotaur]

Anyone fancy a pint?

[morgoth424]

oh and for you non-latin scholars out there, "de gustibus non est disputandum" is translated roughly as "there is no arguing matters of taste"

[morgoth424]

@AreUJelly

first of all, yes, yes i am jelly *trollface*

secondly, if you're looking for metal gods, check out Trivium, High on Fire, Lamb of God, and Avenged Sevenfold. those four are just the best in the business right now. if you're looking for more stuff like the sword, check out baroness, red fang, and mastodon.

rock on my brother \m/

[meprim]

@morgoth424 you forgon Iron Maiden dude!

[morgoth424]

@meprim haha, he asked for modern bands, but yeah i'd be an idiot to forget the likes of the original four pillars of metal-dom and their thralls, metallica, megadeth, slayer, anthrax, iron maiden, judas priest, pantera.... list goes on and on ;D

[meprim]

@morgoth424 Oh I see lol

well Maiden are still making albums AND touring

but yeah I understand what you mean lol

[RugerRedHawk25]

@morgoth424 i wouldn't consider avenged sevenfold metal gods....they're nu-metal, which is a poser form of metal.

[morgoth424]

@RugerRedHawk25

mate,

you need to remember you are talking to the dude who holds the opinion that led zeppelin, black sabbath, and guns n' roses are metal bands. we could sit and argue about bands being this genre or that style, but when it all boils down to it, we should consider the words of the latin proverb "de gustibus non est disputandum." i categorize music into crap i like and crap i dont.

rock on dude

p.s.

that's the first time in a looong while i've heard the phrase "nu-metal" rofl

[RugerRedHawk25]

@morgoth424 well those are obvious givens. but categorizing avenged sevenfold with led zeppelin and black sabbath is insulting to the latter. and besides, nu-metal is still a legit genre of music, its just watered down metal, its not as hardcore, and its more radio friendly, thus making it more of a sell-out genre of music, sorta like post-grunge.

[LiquidRasta2013]

anyone who bitches about these guys being like another band is retarded cuz who do most METAL bands look up to? the greats such as, BLACK SABBATH, IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, ect.

[djcub00]

WINTER IS COMING...

[eckomachine]

SOfukinOP

[rudypeni]

A shit ton like Goatsnake, oh well it all been done before nothin new, it's only new to doomsters. Great band still

[MiSiFiTlOvE]

these dudes got to tour with metallica and lamb of god! must be doing something right!

[karter005]

@MiSiFiTlOvE I seen these guys twice and with tallica they kicked ass.

[Johnnyboy414]

@MiSiFiTlOvE my sister got to see them when she saw metallica, idk why the fuck i didnt go

[SkyValley311]

@MiSiFiTlOvE

They're touring with Kyuss Lives soon too. They're definitely doing something right

[nodeg]

@MiSiFiTlOvE F Metallica, these guys got to tour with KYUSS LIVES!

[itslasher1]

@nodeg Lol

[SirToeTagger]

iota sounds a lot like the sword but they are both great bands regardless

[drawnbyhorses]

without Sabbath, the Sword would never exist, with that being said I think I like the Sword better,

[YogiDMT]

@drawnbyhorses never heard them before and you could hear sabbath influence in the first second

[ianmacsmith]

great song. the quality sucks though. needs a better upload.

[JackBurton1337]

The Sword is an immensely talented band !!! Saw them in Philadelphia not too long ago and they are extremely impressive!! And I quote " I would mount your head from bloody spear outside your palace gates..." perfect antidote for all the corporate greed and political corruption that runs ramped in our society today....

[BastardLord666]

Alot of bands have and are ripping off Sabbath,but it's really not ripping them off,they are band that have influenced many bands and bands kinda copy their sound and so it may sound like ripping them off,but in fact they are showing Respect to them!

[TheTigerRF]

@BastardLord666 your right. they ALL have stolen from muddy waters, howlin wolf, bach, and every artist that ha scome before them.....i dont see why people start that "well they ripped off so and so, so they have to be crap"....just enjoy it if you like it and if you dont move on...geez....

[Murrayd13]

It is kinda lame that they expect the word "the" to delineate them from a clearly established and known band in the same genre though.

[Krakenzeus]

@Murrayd13 What? I've never heard of any "Sword".

[Murrayd13]

@Krakenzeus, Search Sword - Stoned Again on Much Loud with Dave Mustaine, It's your typical old school metal but it's the principle y'know.

[13paintrain]

amazing band!!

[hubub545]

this is fuckin sick

[cd97peace]

I'll be seein' these MOFO's in Dallas in a month. Can I get a "Fuck yeah!"?

[66miguel66]

@cd97peace Fuck Yeah!

[fatherovterror666]

everyone knows that sabbath wrote all music in existence while traveling through time...

[d3fjef]

@fatherovterror666 All worthwhile music anyway

[SatanEatsCheez]

@fatherovterror666 no, not possible that would mean they wrote all of justin beibers songs....

[fatherovterror666]

@SatanEatsCheez lol you classify that as music....

[Bygde]

@fatherovterror666 Except Justin Bieber. Sabbath would NEVER sink that low.

[mewdeeone]

@Bygde You can't find ONE f#cking thread without his name mentioned. I can't wait for all of you to get a life.

[6Mr6Crowley6]

@fatherovterror666 If I'm not mistaken isn't that what Planet Caravan is about?

[Samesama]

LOL - you made me laugh =]

[Transexorcist]

check out cletus, search sleezycletus, killer band not a shitty knockoff

[BrianCulticeMusic]

This isnt a sabbath ripoff, its a melvins ripoff

[missgodlessheathen]

THESE GUYS ARE JUST FAGGING SABBOTH RIPS OFFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!f

[jackass311]

@missgodlessheathen yes, fagging..

[PissingEverybody]

@jonlemosz If you don't like this go away from here and listen what you -I guess- like listen to: Bieber, Miley, Jonas, Gomez or so, I don't know, I don't care in fact, it's faggot's stuff... BUT HERE people are talking about a band -yep, Sabb-influenced- they like. Don't like it? F*ck off! Man, won't these Bieber fans stop bitching someday?

[BloodJunkieFireFly]

ALL YOU FUCKING TROLLS DIE BEFORE THE WRATH OF THE SWORDS MIGHTY TEXAN CONAN METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[Sabsterino]

hipster metal? there's such a thing? haha sounds like something a hipster would say.

[TheFallenWon]

@Sabsterino Would a hipster qualify themselves as such, if they laugh out loud at the critique of someone suggesting a that by labeling a genre of music as "Hipster Metal" that they must be a hipster?

[Sabsterino]

@TheFallenWon

haaa you got me! nice way of turning it around. If I'm a hipster because I make myself laugh (or because I love The Sword), so be it. I was only trying to be contradictory, because I love The Sword.

[TheFallenWon]

@Sabsterino I was just being contrary too. Having been labled a hipster myself and not knowing how to respond too it, I just wondered if my laughing at your comment was a form of self identifying, and reluctantly admitting that I might have unknowingly and unwittingly slipped into hipsterdom. Like Pee Wee Herman said ..."Takes one to know one!"...

[HeavyMetalHendrix]

Just saw these guys 2 days ago, they fucking kicked ass

[ThePapasBoy]

Good Song

[BrianCulticeMusic]

DANZIG

[dangeresque429]

Garbage hipster metal. There's a lot better stoner metal out there. The only reason someone would listen to this is because there a metal-poser hipster faggot.

[taxidoimy]

@dangeresque429 yooouuuu can just go right ahead and fuck yourself

[plowmetal]

Has there been any news on if the european tour will be put back on?

[jesuswasakike00]

I love dooom. DEATH TO NU-METAL

[SMEAGZY]

I didn't realize there were any real metal bands that emerged after the 80's,bands like Maiden, Slayer, Metallica, Motorhead, Pantera cant keep going for ever, but maybe there is hope

[LIVEtoROCK86]

I saw these guys open for Trivium back in October 2006. The crowd hated them except for a few of us, one of them being me! It's awesome to see people really digging this band now. They are keeping it real.

[HOTROD74GremlinX]

@LIVEtoROCK86 Prob cuz most of em think metal involves shredding up and down the neck like some cock rock asshole. I dig Trivium But also dig the shit outta The Sword and their dark Sabbathy sound!

[fantasticaGR]

GreaT sOnG

[cantrellworld]

Great band, hope to hear many more albums

[tomata182]

wow...it really does sound like Black Sabbath and Ozzy. Good though

[BDean97]

pretty cool song. whats their best song?? This is the first song i heard by them and they sound good.

[lolkittensomega]

@BDean97 Listen to the whole Gods of the Earth album

[LazerNun]

Dear The Sword,

I love you

[Th3Art0fRu1n]

Its funny how some people do nothing but bash bands they don't like on YouTube....

[HKG36G3]

i do say the guitar parts seem a bit like sabbaths, but so does wolfmother. they make similar-sounding music, SO WHAT? anything that that can be said sounds like sabbath its awesome just as sabbath is.

[Forty6andDeuX]

Hypothermia is so metal!

[ElNick09]

I'll tell you this much. These guys have great taste in books. I know they read George RR Martin's Saga of Fire and Ice, and I know they will be just as pissed as me when the procrastinating bastard dies of old age before completing the series.

[TheWyckedJester]

It's just a different sub-genre...doom metal, with a bit of retro. Who cares? If you like it cool; if not, no biggie, either.

[curtisg1978]

black sabbath meets metallica "and justice for all". can't wait to see them live tommorow in ashville, NC. hope there this great live.

[wriggleslop]

I don't think they sound anything like Sabbath. And even if they did, would that be a bad thing?

[buddhastalin]

so awesome

[jjteaks]

@Lossifer420 dont feed the trolls. 

[jvsmith77]

I bitched about Coal Chamber cause they sucked and the singer that started devilDriver is a jerk off! But by far the meanest just pure best sword song here!

[eddvik5150]

So fuckin' what if they sound like Sabbath. They got a great sound and they rock the shit outta anything that's out there today. I didn't hear too many people bitch about Coal Chamber cuz they sound like Korn.

[Grim4148]

wow this sounds so fucking retardedly like black sabbath

[brandon6pk]

@Grim4148 whats wrong with that?

[johnmetalheadd]

The Sword is awesome! And they're just gettin started.

[eaglenook]

This Band Rocks. Ok so they sound kinda like Sabbath, I still like the sound, good old school metal. I bet Dio and Ozzy could rock to this.

[tortaogada]

Epic

[shipmaker14]

Maybe if they played indoors, or in better weather....

Ahh I guess I'd still go see them.

[MrTierra68]

THESE GUYS OLD SCHOOL SOUND NEW ERA...FUCKIN AWESOME

[crowe757]

Damn right boss.

[narsinarsinarsi]

They are good, They are not Sabbath, just very inspired by Sabbath... very inspired...

[saralart]

I didn't think any metal band went in intentionally trying to rip off another metal band especially when those are their main influences. They like those types of metal and of course its going to sound like that because thats What they know. If you want to see rip off Turn on the Disney channel It all sounds the same. Intentionally.

[metalliman28716]

@saralart I do not understand what the hell you are trying to say....I think I do and if I am right then you are wrong...they do sound a little like sabbath but they are heavier and the lyrics are not dark,they are just different stories they made up about the gods and other mythology.

[jkoff76]

The drummer quit, that sucks. H was the reason I loved the band!!

[jonlemosz]

@bosshallucy Do I have to have a sound of my own to know these guys are a Sabbath rip-off? That's just obvious. By the way, being a Neurosis fan yourself, you should know the difference between creativity and plagiarism.

[Lossifer420]

@jonlemosz Just because one awesome band sounds like another awesome band, doesn't mean you have to hate either of them. They're clearly not the same as sabbath. All of their songs are different, if you're not happy with them though then it's a mystery to me why you're still here writing. Go look for a band you like maybe? Then you won't be so upset

[TommyInsulin]

@Lossifer420 I dunno, this sounds an awful like Goatsnake!

[Albeleo]

I know the drummer quit, but now is the entire band calling it quits? Please fucking say it ain't so.

[EdithProfeil]

@Albeleo Heard that too. Bandpage sais they're "regrouping".

[rabbidapes]

r.i.p. the sword :(

[jdavidson091]

NO! US TOUR CANCELLED?!?!??! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! I was looking forward so bad to seeing them next week. Just my fucking luck.

[RadioHomicide666]

reminds me of down, with ozzy on vocals, which may aswell be black sabbath.....i like :)

[kangarc]

TOTIMOSHI does this sort of thing way better. And they have their own sound, not such a direct Sabbath ripoff.

[gmasterg13]

sabbath and budgie and baroness

[TheCoxWorks]

is anyone else hearing sabbath?
