  • my band just covered this at our last show. People loved it

  • brings me back to 7th grade. still haven't worn this album out at all.

  • fucking brilliant!

  • this was the last song they played when I saw them last. still maybe my favorite, the sword fucking rule!

  • This was the first band I ever saw live. They were opening for Metallica and I was 14 and let me say they kicks so much as anyone who says they like metal has no excuse to not own a sword record. Oh Metallica was good too I guess.

  • Slayer and Sabbath had a baby in this song.

  • This band has revived metal ! Metal at it's god damned finest !!

  • Fucking hardcore

  • Flat out kicks ass.

  • 0:53 nice scream dude.

  • 2:59 best breakdon ever by them.

  • I meant to say im seeing The Sword live November 21st with Kyuss in Portland,Or

  • I'm seeing live November 21st @ The Roseland Theater in Portland,Or. With Kyuss as the Headlining act Cant wait!!!!!

  • Long Live Heavy Metal!

  • ATX muthafyckaz

  • Awesome video!!

    Thanks crashwaveblake for the upload; theres a lot of crappy Sword videos on here and on it, a lot of comment says the vocals are shitty. This one captures the band beautifully.. Cheers!

  • How can you not mosh to this?

  • that crowd is full of retards

  • @jevanmanny I live near this place and dig The Sword big time but this was right when Age of Winters came out and nobody knew a lot about them at the time. Cause if I did I sure as hell would of been at this show.

  • @jvsmith77 even thought if they are new, I would have been going crazy

  • i am totally loving this man

  • one of the best heavy metal bands of today!!!!

  • The Sword desimates all. The Iron Swan will devour us the world!

  • i haven't grooved to metal in years until i heard this song

  • im not really into this type of metal.. i tend to go on lighter stuff but i gotta say, im impressed

  • Comment removed

  • hearing this song live just conquers your soul. i heard them live with metallica and it was just a huge flow of energy

  • wtf is up with the crowd in every "The Sword Live" video!?!? :S

    Please come by from Greece!!! We have mosh pits and headbanging to offer!!!!!!

    .\m/

  • BY MITRA DOES THIS ROCK HARD

  • "Iron ships on seas of blood

    Black winds fill their silver sails

    Iron swan rises high above

    in crimson twilight through the earthly veil!"

    D00M 0N!

  • Saw these guys with Clutch. Great show.

  • @SoulObject

    im insanely jealous

  • @machdiehl ya... i think i was the only one there for both bands. i called out for them to play this song... it took them all of about 10 minutes to get to it. totally rocked it too... 2 other bands played as well. one was called Graveyard i think... from Scandinavia... weird Nordic classic rock band... the other was forgettable... again... great show. i was like 10 feet from these guys.

  • @machdiehl You're not the only one :p

  • Heavy Metal music, gentlemen. It's a must for real men.

  • the sword rules.

  • ya, their lead player has much longer hair now. looks like swisgaar.

  • Saw these guys earlier this year, one of the best shows I've seen. They all look really fuckin' different now, too.

  • when was this. looks like 05 or 06.

  • @IcantDiedeadenough pretty sure its '06

  • @tehjargonz0r yeah they look really different. but anyways thanks.

  • judging by the looks, i'd say they look like kings of leon/jonas brothers/justin bieber kind of homo's. thank god they sound that good.

    don't judge a book by its faggot cover, kids!

  • @stefanrosioru they don't look like that at all though dude

  • this band is easily my favorite out of all i have heard,the old school metal sound is amazing and some of the greatest and intense guitar riffs i have ever heard. The Sword are one of the best metal bands out there right now. I'm happy buying all there albums twice! :) <3

  • hey i have that lightning bolt strap too!

  • The sound is HEAVY !

  • You can tell the great drummers. They don't need 10 drums and 15 cymbals. Too bad he left the band.

  • You need not looketh to play rock n roll!

  • this song is the TITS!

  • This is the heaviest band ever. It has an epic feel.

  • "That little girl cant sing. She would rather have a cock in her mouth. Hipster pussies trying so hard to be retro rockers is funny. Epic brother" I KNEW IT!!!! that is NoLiesPlease on a different account, because all that shit he said was EXACTLY what he always says, this goof really needs to fuckin' grow up, like seriously

  • fuckin heavy ass fuck

  • @theswordisgay that little guy CAN sing, and he'd much rather have some pussy up in his face whenever he wants because he's an intense musician and i garuntee he gets laid more in one day then you would in you're entire life, you're the one who wants the dick in his mouth you little faggot because you're always talking about it, who's the queer now? that's right you are NoLiesPlease, you fucking idiot

  • @theswordisgay yeah, cause growlin takes a lot of work

  • owns

  • I love this band! Only thing I don't like is the vocals =/ They should just make it instrumental and put a sign on the microphone that says "WE NEED A SINGER" lol

  • @Pr0fess0rSasquatch I smoke Marlboros.... you smoke cocks....

  • theswordisgay is just NoLiesPlease in disguise lol anyone else remember that troll? cuz i wouldn't doubt he just made a new account to rant on videos of The Sword again using a different username

  • Can't believe it, when I heart it for the first time. Yeah, that's so heavy, your head and neck has to go down, and up, and down, and up :-) That's what heavy rock is about. Fine.

  • these are some fucking heavy ass riffs

  • just epic riff after epic riff omg! hahahaha

  • 11 people should fill their ears with concrete since they do not know great music when they hear it!

  • The bands appearance has changed allot.

  • metal horns for the budgie shirt!

  • theswordisgay is clearly a fucking tool, just ignore him and let him go back to his life of jacking off

  • That faggot cant sing. Worst band ever. Hipster pussies trying way to hard. You are a moron if you like this rip off bullshit.

  • @theswordisgay wtf? your just dumb

  • @theswordisgay WHO THE F.CK are you ? why creating a channel called that ? to be a fucktard on youtube ? most of your comment are just shit and haters. DO you sing better ? can you do better ? NO because you're a stupid kid who have to hate

  • @theswordisgay I like how you took the time to make a channel about hating a band, Idk whats the point of it, all these viewers come and watch this video and don't even know who you are..... you can die today and who the fuck would know!? Don't see the point in doing that but thats your thing I guess -_-

  • @theswordisgay nigger lover.

  • @mk1vx1000 Rather be a nigger lover than a nigger hater.... don't like them KKK folks.

  • @Arcturus420 funny, cus Marlboro is a KKK affiliated company. you're not cool for smoking cigs, just smoke pot it's better for you

  • @theswordisgay rip off of what? please elaborate since you're so intelligent and have such a vast vocabulary and amazing command of the English language,

  • goddamn!

  • 4 dudes groovin out to some heavy fuckin licks they wrote, you can't help groovin out yourself!

  • These guys should tour with Clutch. Would be one hell of a show

  • @djbandulu  they did back in 06/07. not around where i live though. heard it was off the chain!

  • Lift with your legs...this is fuckin' heavy!!!

  • This is probably JD's best live voice I've heard so far. At most live shows, he doesn't sound quite as good. But this is awesome.

  • i think if there amps were a little louder in the intro it would of sounded more epic it kinda lacked feeling but still a good performance

  • 10 peoply only like rubber ducks...

  • Seen these guys in Calgary before Metallica they rocked the show...

  • to all you who dislike this.....YOU SUCK!

  • This was before Freya was getting any play and they were virtually unknown. I live 30 minutes away and wish I would had known of them at the time.

  • Ya know, I read about a lot of people calling them Sabbath rip offs. I find that funny. I don't like Sabbath. Never have. But I love The Sword. I think they are pretty amazing. They have a quality and melodic undertone that surpasses a lot of "metal." I feel like they take consideration into the craft and making music. I don't feel that or hear that when I listen to Sabbath.

  • @MicahIphone Thats cause sabbath was likely wasted the whole time and these guys are not the same kinda guys Sabbath was retarded and insane which was what was so great about them. love me some symptoms of the Universe!

  • There playing for 7 people. Lame, I saw them at the coliseum with Metallica. That was a fucking show

  • @bl00dr3dxxx you gotta think though look at the date this was uploaded thats when they werent as big as they are now.....not saying there huge but they will be

  • that crowd sucks...........i'd be ripping that place up

  • the crowd was probably stoned

  • The Sword's instrumental is in my top two, however, their vocalist is hands down; the worst I know of...

    Every time he speaks, I cringe with anger that he is interupting the excellent instrumental.

  • Wheres The Rest Of This?!?!?

  • WOW!

  • There are 10 cyberfags out there

  • Like Clive Burr and look who they got!

  • Trivett Leaves.... wow

  • Awesome new American Icons. Oh Yeah SAY SOMETHING GOOD OR SHUT UP.

  • This band is so fucking great... Idk why it hasn't had a major success so far... They deserve it, The only problem that I consider are J.D.'s vocals, On the albums he sounds alright, But live... He really sucks... Can you imagine The Sword with a singer like the one from Priestess?! The Sword would stab metal's heart

  • I love how you cant understand a single thing he sings

  • @philocon i can understand him just fine, i know the lyrics that he's singing, why can't you? ...idiot hahaha

  • @SkeeZo13 you seam to be forgetting the fact that I like that about the song.. you should read my comment again

  • @philocon LOL i know what you meant man, i never said you hated the song or anything, i'm just saying what you said is pretty fuckin' dumb "oh i love how i can't understand a word he says" but why exactly would you love that man? like seriously usually when you listen to a song, your supposed to lvoe the fact that you CAN understand the lyrics lol

  • So awesome. Can't wait to see these guys in October!

  • I love how Trivett drums. he's not the most technical drummer ever, but he never makes an unnecessary move. he's so precise.

  • sooooooo good!

  • Awesome band,drummer needs to not be so stiff,show me jazz hands;)

  • @HexenDruken they are how they are !

  • OLD SCHOOL METAL IS ALIVE AND STRONG!!!!

  • These guys are fucking brilliant. Seeing them in 18 days as support for Metallica. I'm actually almost looking forward to them more haha

  • the new album is fuckin' awesome! best yet!

  • @fatkidinabucket fuck yes

  • @fatkidinabucket naw man see that's where you're wrong, yes The Sword's new album is fucking amazing, but their 1st album Age of Winters will ALWAYS be their best album man, always.

  • how much more awesome can a heavy metal band get?

  • Thats that real gangsta shit! I was at this show and man these guys slay the weak. The Local 506, The Sword, hell I'll even throw in The Cats Cradle are awesome! If you haven't landed Warp Riders, preferably on vinyl, do yourself a favor and do it!

  • Gotta love those Orange amps. So fucking stoner. /S\

  • @thethrashattack amen to that

  • They don't look at all how I pictured them. o_O

  • @jek21 ROCK N ROLL ISN'T AN IMAGE

  • @jek21 how did u picture them?

  • @jek21 RocknRoll is the voice of freaks and geeks!

    D00M 0N!

  • i have a strap just like that

  • шикарный трек!

    тут кто нибудь понимает мою речь?)))

  • This hammers !

  • we arent worthy

  • You'll see my ass in Manchester(Dec) England...rockin the fuck out to these wizards ! 

  • @WINSTONZERO1 Same here man. They are the GODS OF THE EARTH!

  • i'd say The Sword an Priestess are the new bands of the decade. check It Baffles The Mind of The Gem by Priestess. They're the only thing that comes close to these guys.

  • now he has an epic beard, they look like kids here....well maybe not wingo he looks like jon dore LOL

  • like thrash black sabbath with their own little twists which makes the band its own pretty sweet

  • Is it August 24th yet?

  • @Anarchist711 naw man but that day needs to fucking hurry up and get here so i can be the first in line to buy Warp Riders

  • my favorite song off of Age of Winters.

  • Fucking awesome change in here --> 3:50

  • Fuck yea, i cant wait for Warp Riders.......

  • @aceshigh125 me either man, if you search up The Sword on wikipedia it finally has a picture of what the album cover for Warp Riders looks like, check it out dude it's a pretty fucking kick ass album cover.

  • this song screams instant classic into my ears....

    I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!!!!

  • Their new album is coming out soon, I can't wait.

  • @Anarchist711 lol soon? more like it's not coming out untill the end of summer man, pretty much another 2 months untill their 3rd album comes out, August 24th be ready to get in line and buy that album because i sure as hell am gonna be buying it and i can't fucking wait hahaha

  • @SkeeZo13 guess I'm just more optimistic, huh?

  • Saw them live. Fucking love this band.

  • @Arcturus420  I thought you didnt post comments Like this one, More hypocrisy.

  • @BurialWarlock What are you fucking stalking me? You're a creepy mother fucker.

  • No i just went onto your recent comments, Just wanting to show your a hypocrite :D

  • Fuck yeah! Orange Amps!

  • Metallica+Black Sabbath+Iron Maiden= The Sword

  • @gonen32 Metallica+BlackSabbath=The Sword because they don't sound anything like Iron Maiden hahaha i don't know how you think they sound like iron maiden when they don't

  • @SkeeZo13 Im thinking mabye the lyrics? lol

  • @SkeeZo13

    they remember me of Maiden, too. the Double Axes and the Bass playing... the sound in general..not in this video,, but on CD.

    But who cares if they sound like this Band or like some Others? they are fucking good...\m/

  • @SkeeZo13 the only reason i would say iron maiden + metallica+ Black Sabbath = The Sword is bc Iron Maiden and the sword have pretty close lyrics

  • one of the best bands hands down.

  • it pisses me off why the crowd don't headbang to these heavy ass riffs, cuz im headbanging away pretty hard right now! haha

  • @SkeeZo13 or even cheer when they start the song.... tha fuck.

  • @SkeeZo13 Well, yeah, everyone in Chapel Hill should have been headbang that night, but you have to take into consideration the fact that almost all of the people at the show were Higher than kites. They were stunned by the pure epic of the riffs, amplified by drugs.

    

  • Ummmm, I am speechless. Amazing

  • I dont rly like metal like mastadon and other who go for complete dirstorion on everything. But man, THIS IS AMAMZING THEY ARE TALENTED!!

  • lmao@how awful the harmonizing sounded. But, still a kickass song.

  • @Valentizzle shut the fuck up buddy, the song sounds fine the way it is, infact i think this video is way better then the album version.

  • @Raigeki135 How about you not take offense to me saying a part of the song sounded bad and then saying that it was a good song. Save your douchebaggery for someone who doesn't like this band or their music and says it's awful.

  • what a kickass song and band, high quality great post

  • Can never get my drums to sound in tune with the guitar like that.

  • seen these guys live 2 years ago when they opened for metallica, for sure one of my favorite bands after seeing their show, great original sound

  • EPIC song......Epic band!!!!

  • what a build up, get those chills when they really kick into it =] man i want to see this guys love

  • lol i'm not saying this like it's a bad thing but you can totally tell that The Sword are pot heads haha but i myself am a pot head and i can never listen to The Sword without being stoned because being stoned while listening to these guys is just soooo much better and also The Sword are my favorite band of all time, i personally think that if The Sword never came out there'd be no good metal bands anymore.

  • @Raigeki135 Retard

  • @jacksonkigv19 what about you ?

  • @morrron5 no, and you?

  • The Sword is what Metallica should have been... and thus my fav band eva! woot!

  • @Phoenix73nj You're saying Metallica should have been a stoner metal band instead of one of the big four of thrash? Both bands draw direct inspiration to Black Sabbath but have completely different sounds. Metallica has 10 albums and has been around for 25 years and The Sword has 2 albums and has been around for barely a decade. Your comment is pretty arrogant I think.

  • @poketfulashelz hey man who cares it's his opinion, i myself personally think The Sword are better then Metallica mainly because The Sword are my favorite band, Metallica would probally be my 2nd though.

  • @poketfulashelz You've got to remember that only a couple of Metallica's albums were even considered "thrash"(the only good ones in my opininon). The

    Black Album was acceptable, but after that i haven't heard a single good new Metallica song.

  • @billycarmichael4 yeah man i agree, like personally i think Metallica's only good albums are Kill Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master of Puppets, ...And Justice For All, and The Black Album, but after the black album their music just wasn't that good anymore in my opinion.

  • @billycarmichael4 If you're saying you consider everything up to the Black album good, that's 5 thrash albums not "a couple." I think it's cool that his favorite band is the Sword but to say that Metallica should have been exactly what the Sword is doesn't make much sense. He's basically saying that we should have skipped an entire era of metal and gone to a band that is influenced by the genre that never existed. In my mind that's arrogant.
