Hipster pussies trying so hard to be retro rockers is funny. That little faggot cant sing. He likes dicks in his mouth. Singing about fairies and cock goblins is epic brother. Music for mall kids who dont know what REAL heavy music is. This is the diet version, the rated G version of "metal". You are a moron if you like this weak rip off bullshit.
Who the fuck is putting these ".... I'm a Mormon" ads all over youtube. You have to ask yourself this mormons... WHO FUCKING CARES! Go read some magic rocks somewhere else!
The singer is a total faggot. His lyrics suck and are stolen from D&D bullshit. This band has never done anything original. Every note they play has been stolen. Growing a mustache is so retro. Hipster pussies trying so hard to be rockers is funny. I hear J.D. gives a killer blow job. Epic bro.

@theswordisgay We know you love the Sword if your channel is named after them. It's not like anything you listen to is immaculately conceived with no influence from other bands.
@theswordisgay So I guess by your logic Judas Priest and Queen were hipster and terrible as well? Almost all music that's been written is an expression of an experience of some kind. So I guess you could say that all musicians are just rip offs and have never done anything original. Congratulations.
@theswordisgay Wow you are seriously gay to go to every one of their videos and comment on how gay they are. Are you jealous or just a total Faggot? (I think it's the latter)
greetings from chile... try to visit us with kyuss lives.. there are just an argentinian band and yajaira from chile playing at the stoner fest.. you guys should try to come
Man these guys have sure some along! I have seen them live so many times now in Arizona! First time in like 2006 or 2007. Didn't even need tickets then, just paid to get in. I even got to hang out with them after one of their shows and watch the other band play with them. They are really cool and lay back! I am not surprised at how famous they are now, I am a fan for life! Love these guys!
decent video. Amazing song. I've loved The Sword since I first heard them. I always will. I think they're every bit as Good as Led Zep and Sabbath. They definitely have their own sound.
THE "KEEP FAGGOT'S STUFF OUT OF METAL POSTS" CRUSADE
PEOPLE: Stop writing the names of YOU KNOW WHO when adding your comments on metal posts. Yes, we all hate those bitches but when you're writing their names you're giving them more power too, for fuck sake!
That's the way that kind of shit gets more viewing: WHEN YOU NAME IT and the Tube system makes a WORD REGISTRY, TAGGING ALL KIND OF SHIT along with our beloved metal videos.
From what I've gathered from the lyrics I think they're talking about nuclear armageddon. The "Fire Lances" are the nukes, the "Kings of Old" world leaders and "Evil Wizards" the scientists who created them.
Fantastic use of rotoscope for depicting a tripped out sci-fi ballad! Great song, the video compliments it perfectly. But where have I seen an Elk with burning antlers before? It seems so familiar.
maybe isn't the elk with burning antlers, but just the Elk.
you'll see, the elk looks pretty much like an scene of bambi i think, and yeah, it sounds funny, but the scene of that movie with an elk it's so creepy that it stays in my memorie till now, cos i use to watch the movie with mi little sister when it came up.
To be fair, I listen to a shitload of death metal, black metal, selective deathcore etc.. The evolution of this is sick, but I don't think this is the future of the genre itself. This is, however the future for this subgenre, no doubt.
i remember listening to this song live. I had never hear of em and i was blown away. as soon as i got home i looked em up and i could barely find anything about them. but i found this album at Rasputin record store. AMAZING BAND. it was a metallica concert early dec of 2008. Lamb of God (which i dont like) played after them. I wished The Sword would have played until Metallica came out instead of Lamb of God.
This is some bad ass, old school shit. It reminds me of when I first got into metal, listening to Paranoid by Sabbath and thinking it was completely epic. The video is hardcore too, I love the concept.
Instrumentals are solid, I just feel like the vocals don't match up. I want the vocals to be as brutal as the riffs! They're reminiscent of old school metal like Sabbath. Not terrible byy any means, just not metal enough for me!
@helterskelter1178 on the 23rd in Chicago. Its their last US stop for that tour... Haven't seen them yet so I'm stoked! Warp riders is very *meh* compared to Gods of the Earth in my opinion, but it looks like they've played a lot of heavy old stuff lately. 2 days from now! Wish I was seeing them this weekend. lucky...
@jdavidson091 What a great FOKKEN show, both John(JD) and Bryan were wearing RUSH t-shirts.I was in front about 5 feet away from Bryan. The openers were VERY GOOD. Mount Carmel was very much like Mountain and ZZ Top Their drummer sounded very much like the late Mitch Mitchell. Karma to Burn VERY LOUD and EXTREMELY HEAVY, their drummer equally good, looked like he just came out of a hippie commune. Their singer/guitarist is the son of Dave Davies(Davis) of THE KINKS. GREAT GREAT FOKKEN SHOW
@menekali2 Yep, I know what you guys are talking about cuz I'm feeling the same: so sad I found The Sword until now, because they're underrated. This band sounds great, like 70s Black Sabbath trying to play like 90s Testament... SO SICK! Man, if your ass it's not seriously kicked by this song, you probably doesn't have one!
After nearly two decades of being a metalhead, in 2008, after listening to Age of Winters (and liking it), I took a break.
Today, I look up The Sword to check the material I missed and . . . HOLEY CRAP, they've improved their sound tremendously. I had to rewind the vid at least seven times, snapping my neck in disbelief, in order to believe it was the same band. The video, the tune. Awesome made manifest.
I love pure Doom. But, man, this tune is RAW. I'm buying the album.
@MutteringUrchin Gods of the Earth is so far their best album. You will not be disappointed with the rest of their songs on that disc. If you're on this kind of timescale where you're picking up on things a couple years later....... maybe it should stay that way and just skip the third album. It's coming out this August and so far the one single is a disappointment. They brought on a producer and they sound more pop-rock-ish with an ultra catchy chorus to rope in a wider audience.
@EyeOnTheTV Yeah, I've heard about the new material. I believe one of the band members touts it as having a sci-fi theme. Haven't heard anything of it yet, though, as I'm concentrating on the stuff I missed for now. I honestly didn't think album 1 to album 2 would bring much change.
On the production on the approaching 3rd: well see. But already witnessing many new, potentially legendary bands, altering their mixing tech for some inexplicable reason (not just in metal), I wouldn't say "lies!"
@EyeOnTheTV I had to come back here and say you weren't wrong. Got the album last week. It is HEAVY. Nice little hidden variation of a track at the end as well.
this IS METAL !!! ... metal isn't all about fucking screaming and growl vocals ... metal first started with "normal" singing ... it is often said that Black sabbath brought "metal" to us ... and they are not screaming or what the hell ... \m/ to everyone !!!
@MetalHeadTin That can't be formulated better! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT METAL IS ABOUT! Good music, not screaming like hell, trying to make good riffs and end up failing.
@MetalHeadTin Totally! In fact I'd go so far as to say I far prefer this singing over the screamo and growl vocals that dominate the metal scene now. It's good to see a band put musicality in front of the presumption that sounding like you have serious bowel problems or you're being repeatedly stabbed is more metal. Go The Sword!
strange. the presence of car henge in the video implies that the setting is post apocalypse USA. However, the missile reads CCCP (USSR). Maybe its not car henge after all; but just a place where primitive Russians dumped their clunkers.
Been picking their songs off one by one for the last hour. Keeps getting better and better. Now would be the time to pay attention all you fingernail painted, eyeliner wearing fags. THIS IS METAL.
Seeing this video a few months back and hearing The Sword on 'I Hit it With My Axe,' it all just squirmed in my brain until i couldn't hold out anymore. Last weekend I bought this album, my first metal album in years, and you know what? I'm wicked happy.
well guys I'm 43 and an "old" metal head and all I can say is that these guys ROCK - so tired of the cookie monster/screaming vocals of so many new bands --- THE SWORD knows what heavy metal is all about. They are the future of metal and it's a good one - the roots are in the PAST - they even use classic gear. Awesome!
Cinderella actually could rock when they wanted too - they chose the cash - like many did - including Priest and Maiden (attempted commercial albums) - This song is great because it makes you think --- even the ending - what happened here? That is entertainment - that is philosophy - are we headed towards this? still? Planet of the Apes --- all the good elements of metal - political science and kick ass riffs to back it up...
@misery8305 its coz too many people listen to mainstream crap like cold gay and queens of leon. people dont understand that that is just mass produced shit without emotion or message. metal is one of the last few froms of music where artists dare to take their instrumental knowledge and skill to extremes and challenge all that is safe. and thereby it is underpreciated by the masses of idiots.
to be fair Kings of Leon are pretty good, but horribly overplayed.
And there is a lot of shit metal. Most people think the more brutal it is the better music it is.
Which I can safely say is definitely not true and it just makes the band look like fucktards lol
Theres plenty of good music though and if you take the time to find it you'll be satisfied and proud of your taste in music, rather than just rockin out to a catchy song on the radio.
@ButtersGettingHard yeah not with you on the whole kings of leon thing, but ur right there is plenty of good stuff, i myself think kasabian is a fantastic band, but my main issue is with the following problem: band makes alright music, band gets popular, music gets better, band gets too popular (every retard with an ipod says: I FUKIN LOVE BAND! THEY ARE SOOOO GOOOOD!), band gets to big for its own good, band is overrated.
and ur right about more brutal not being better, it has to fit the band
@misery8305 I think I listened to something else and commented here. Or I just scewed up. I listened again and thought the music is tight and good. The vocals were ok. They didn't suck but weren't blow me away either. Overall not bad.
@yoursoulismine1 Metal and Punk are so crossbred its ridiculous. NWOBHM bands like Judas Priest and Motorhead were heavily influenced by punk rock and sped up heavy metal out of the stoner/hard rock roots and into speed metal. In turn, hardcore punk itself is something that punk rock took and added metal to it. Black metal was heavily influenced by hardcore punk, Bathory cites discharge, charged gbh, and the exploited as major influences. Thrash metal itself has strong punk influences.
Yes, but influence doesn't necessarily make it metal (or punk)
Hardcore punk is punk. There might be influence, but it is punk.
Some subgenres are true hybrids, some aren't but occasionally have a band that is.
And while Thrash has those strong punk influences, it is still Metal, as opposed to Punk. Aside from Crossover Thrash (which is one of the true hybrid subgrenres)
@yoursoulismine1 I don't see why getting your panties in a wad over what's pure punk and whats pure metal, music isnt that simple. Some thrash bands like Municipal Waste and Nuclear Assault are a 50/50 split. Some like Toxic Holocaust and Onslaught are heavily influenced by dbeat and crust punk. Crust punk itself is a very heavy hybrid between hardcore and metal. Go listen to some Amebix or Discharge. Grindcore bands like Carcass and Napalm Death are also an even metal and punk split.
they are no hipsters, they are the fucking real deal. bands like Slipknot, Limp bizkit, ect are hipsters. these guys are hippies and metalheads. You gota problem with any type of metalhead we will come to your house and MAKE you conver to our think deal with it PleaseNoLies.
NoLiesPlease has posted a negative comment on every 'The Sword' video every week for the past four years. I have a suspicion he's 45 years old, lives in his parents' basement, is over 400 pounds, and has never felt the warm embrace of a woman. I'm pretty sure he will die alone, and they will have to cut a hole in his house to remove his body.
God damn this video reminds me so much of Heavy Metal. So much so, I'm going to watch it now lol

@MetalHeadTin That can't be formulated better! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT METAL IS ABOUT! Good music, not screaming like hell, trying to make good riffs and end up failing.

@MetalHeadTin Totally! In fact I'd go so far as to say I far prefer this singing over the screamo and growl vocals that dominate the metal scene now. It's good to see a band put musicality in front of the presumption that sounding like you have serious bowel problems or you're being repeatedly stabbed is more metal. Go The Sword!

strange. the presence of car henge in the video implies that the setting is post apocalypse USA. However, the missile reads CCCP (USSR). Maybe its not car henge after all; but just a place where primitive Russians dumped their clunkers.

Seeing this video a few months back and hearing The Sword on 'I Hit it With My Axe,' it all just squirmed in my brain until i couldn't hold out anymore. Last weekend I bought this album, my first metal album in years, and you know what? I'm wicked happy.

well guys I'm 43 and an "old" metal head and all I can say is that these guys ROCK - so tired of the cookie monster/screaming vocals of so many new bands --- THE SWORD knows what heavy metal is all about. They are the future of metal and it's a good one - the roots are in the PAST - they even use classic gear. Awesome!
dsrocknroller 1 year ago
man i dont care how old u are
u listen to metal and love this shit then Hail \m/ to you my friend!
but as to say the future of metal?
man look where its all going
doom metal,grindcore,metalcore,scremo,deathmetal,i even heard of samuri metalcore,
music is expanding to the extremes.and our roots of metal will never be forgotten
the sword is an amazing band tho
totally and fully underated dude
i mean 72tho hits,thats it?
this band deserves way more

Cinderella actually could rock when they wanted too - they chose the cash - like many did - including Priest and Maiden (attempted commercial albums) - This song is great because it makes you think --- even the ending - what happened here? That is entertainment - that is philosophy - are we headed towards this? still? Planet of the Apes --- all the good elements of metal - political science and kick ass riffs to back it up...
dsrocknroller 1 year ago
@misery8305 its coz too many people listen to mainstream crap like cold gay and queens of leon. people dont understand that that is just mass produced shit without emotion or message. metal is one of the last few froms of music where artists dare to take their instrumental knowledge and skill to extremes and challenge all that is safe. and thereby it is underpreciated by the masses of idiots.
Mokumbo 1 year ago
@Mokumbo
to be fair Kings of Leon are pretty good, but horribly overplayed.
And there is a lot of shit metal. Most people think the more brutal it is the better music it is.
Which I can safely say is definitely not true and it just makes the band look like fucktards lol
Theres plenty of good music though and if you take the time to find it you'll be satisfied and proud of your taste in music, rather than just rockin out to a catchy song on the radio.
ButtersGettingHard 1 year ago
@ButtersGettingHard yeah not with you on the whole kings of leon thing, but ur right there is plenty of good stuff, i myself think kasabian is a fantastic band, but my main issue is with the following problem: band makes alright music, band gets popular, music gets better, band gets too popular (every retard with an ipod says: I FUKIN LOVE BAND! THEY ARE SOOOO GOOOOD!), band gets to big for its own good, band is overrated.
and ur right about more brutal not being better, it has to fit the band

misery8305 1 year ago
@misery8305
No, it's saying Screamo has nothing to do with metal. It isn't even a subgenre.
Grindcore is actually punk. It isn't metal.
Metalcore comes from Hardcore, which isn't metal. Metalcore only has metal INFLUENCE. This does NOT make it metal.
Samurai metalcore wouldn't be it's own subgenre either. It's still just metalcore. Lyrical content doesn't constitute a genre.

@yoursoulismine1 i agree on the lyrical part but man
i guess everyone has their opionons

yoursoulismine1 1 year ago
@yoursoulismine1 Metal and Punk are so crossbred its ridiculous. NWOBHM bands like Judas Priest and Motorhead were heavily influenced by punk rock and sped up heavy metal out of the stoner/hard rock roots and into speed metal. In turn, hardcore punk itself is something that punk rock took and added metal to it. Black metal was heavily influenced by hardcore punk, Bathory cites discharge, charged gbh, and the exploited as major influences. Thrash metal itself has strong punk influences.
OnslaughtFei 1 year ago
@OnslaughtFei
Yes, but influence doesn't necessarily make it metal (or punk)
Hardcore punk is punk. There might be influence, but it is punk.
Some subgenres are true hybrids, some aren't but occasionally have a band that is.
And while Thrash has those strong punk influences, it is still Metal, as opposed to Punk. Aside from Crossover Thrash (which is one of the true hybrid subgrenres)
yoursoulismine1 1 year ago
@yoursoulismine1 I don't see why getting your panties in a wad over what's pure punk and whats pure metal, music isnt that simple. Some thrash bands like Municipal Waste and Nuclear Assault are a 50/50 split. Some like Toxic Holocaust and Onslaught are heavily influenced by dbeat and crust punk. Crust punk itself is a very heavy hybrid between hardcore and metal. Go listen to some Amebix or Discharge. Grindcore bands like Carcass and Napalm Death are also an even metal and punk split.

NoLiesPlease has posted a negative comment on every 'The Sword' video every week for the past four years. I have a suspicion he's 45 years old, lives in his parents' basement, is over 400 pounds, and has never felt the warm embrace of a woman. I'm pretty sure he will die alone, and they will have to cut a hole in his house to remove his body.
