  • Thumps up if Guitar Hero brought you here :)

  • So what If you found out about the Sword through Guitar Hero? All that fucking matters is that you listen to them.

  • Maiden, Mother and Crone... and Smith, Father, Warrior and Stranger

  • i need some fucking pot -.- 

  • Orchid, Ghost, Graveyard > The Sword

  • I discovered this song with the drumer of my band...that happened about 2 years ago...I'm still listening to this...:)

  • OMG, my ass is missing, thats probably because this shit rocked it straight off!

  • The first metal riff master was Tony Iommi. This is the next generation.

  • ive seen them yo.!

  • The triple goddess :P badass song, badass band.

  • Almost every comment says "Fuck"...... Yall need to chill the fuck out LOL

  • so these guys are kinda doom metal right, i hear like 70s garage rock in them but heavier...like maybe pentagram?

  • @skidrowsux1977 I'd classify it as stoner metal. But fuck it, it's awesome, who cares what it is? ;]

  • @skidrowsux1977 Yea, kinda, some where between Stoner/Retro Rock and Traditional Doom Metal in the vein of Sabbath and Pentagram.

  • It's a fuckin epic song!

  • Saw them live on Sunday in Columbus. It was fucking awesome.

  • Thumbs up if this song's awesomeness brought you here, (or not I don't really care, this songs is truly excellent though).

  • I Love the sword.....Reminds me of Black Sabbath....GREAT FUCKING MUSIC!

  • Fuck the Maker gods of the weirwood are the only gods I pray to..Hell yeah for "a Song of ice and fire" \m/

  • I can smell the fucking weed.

  • I like to think I'm straight, but this is the fucking sexiest thing I've seen all goddamn month.

  • I just saw these guys live in concert, Phenomenal show.. The guitar player is fucking hot & looks like he is possessed when he plays!

  • this is my shit! fuck that new hiphop bullshit. I am a proud white male, and will behave as such, as my father did before me. A real man recognizes real music when he hears it.

  • @LarryFlynn22 Calm down, Larry.

  • The guitar work sounds like a heavier version/mixture of The Who and the Stones.

  • Kind of reminds me of Black Sabbath

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEAH 70'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

  • Singer sounds kinda like Ozzy. That's sick I like it

  • finally something that is not gay and retarded

  • pure blissful awesomeness dripping with face melting goodness

  • Night gathers and now my watch begins. It shall not end before my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness, the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that protects the realms of men. I cast my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all nights to come.

  • The night is dark and filled with terrors

  • May The Seven bless us! Winter is coming.

  • These guys really like ASoIaF

  • coolest song ever

  • Love The Sword!!

    

  • blessed be

    the goddess rocks!!!!

  • Why isn't The Sword played on the radio? It seems to me like they have pretty broad appeal. All they play around here is whiny bitch rock.

  • gives me a little sabbath vibe as well

  • jesus, did thor the god of thunder just take over the planet?!?!

  • Comment removed

  • Thumbs up if GH5 didn't bring you here ;)

  • @joedalton155 Fuck Gh5 man Gh3 is where its at and always will be

  • @joedalton155 the lineup of the Roadburn Festival brought me here! roadburn.com/roadburn-2012/lin­eup/ check it out! Fuckin awsome

  • @joedalton155 fuck you.

  • Saw em last night in NC with Kyuss. The Sword fucking destroyed.

  • this is so good

  • Forgot how awesome this song was. I feel like I need to grow out my hair and beard now. Sadly I will never reach how awesome his is though

  • these guys need to be sighned

  • the wizzard

  • Wait a minute...this is not Nickelback!!!

  • Pfft. Nothing could describe my ultimate surprise when I realised that the year was written as 2008 on Guitar Hero 5 after I like played it for the tenth time.

    I was WTF?!

  • thank you guitar hero 5...

  • This is great music, very refreshing compared to most of the B.S. out now days.

    I dont think The Sword gets as much recognition as it rightfully deserves.

    I can dig it, and remains a top on my tracks played daily.

  • Woops, I'm stoned it's at 1:09

    

  • EPIC Sidewinder headbanging bass player @ 1:11

  • saw them live at the dia los toadies show and theyre just as good live

  • Gods be good.

  • The Sword.....Katatonia. . . what can be better?

  • he cut his hair completely off, and there are rumors floating around that he's gay. i could care less, im just saying. and who is the drummer now that ol' boy left?

  • lead singer looks exactly like me...amazing tune, amazing band. btw stick with the long hair dude

  • This song rocks my balls off every time.

    I have about -34 testicles by now.

  • haha..... reminds me of how we used to get down back in the 70's

  • @TheBigfoot228 According to your profile, you're 31. So either you're lying about your age or you're lying about existing during the 70's.

  • @TheBigfoot228

    My thoughts exactly on listening to this. I have a new favorite band. <3

  • pretty awesome vid, what jackoffs tend to forget is these guys like to have a purpose behind their music and a style, like the retro stuff on other vids, see here it's not retro its more modern fantasy it's called being creative.

  • i love this..

    

  • All the beat riff's have gone. Great song title though

  • looks like shes telling the sword to shh, FUCK YOU WOMAN i want to hear this

  • 22 crones...

  • They kind of remind me of Pentagram, if Pentagram were heavier. Either way, I dig it.

  • A song of ice and fire ftw!

  • the vocals are very similar compared to blue cheer's vocals, great band

  • Tomorrow in Indy. Can't wait!

  • In 00:50 I swear I saw Kurt Cobain's face with closed eyes. Good song!

  • wow, pagan/wiccan hard rock without "gothic" overtones. Actually, it's awesome.

  • @Eidemon this is Doom/Stoner Metal this is in no way gothic lol nor does it have anything to do with fluffy bunny wicca crap.

  • @1734kyle

    yeah it does lol

  • @NeighborhoodVillain Not really considering most of wicca is ass end backwards. Also considering the triple goddess concept is from Northern European TW not Gerald Gardner and his fluffy bunny clones.

  • @NeighborhoodVillain The Triple Goddess concept has been used for quite sometime in the traditional crafts of northern Europe. The only tie it has to Wicca is that Gerald Gardner and all his fluffy bunny clones took it and perverted it to fit their own needs while at the same time not fully understanding it. Wiccans don't generally understand much about craft, they believe in karma for fucks sake.

  • @1734kyle shut up with all of your genres youtube hipster

  • @maxpowd3r Hipster? Do I wear skinny jeans, flannel shirts or stupid urkel glasses? I think not. Just because I actually know the genre of the band doesn't in anyway make me hipster, you trolling little cunt.

  • @1734kyle woah now, let's leave flannel shirts out of this, remember there was a time before hipsters when flannel shirts were worn, lumberjacks, frequently in the 70's, and as work shirts, I personally wear them all the time, but I don't wear those fucked glasses, gauges, or skinny jeans. but go about your merry way brother, and keep rockin to doom/stoner!

  • @Buzzmancer hahaha nice lol

  • @1734kyle A youtube hipster is one who creates obscure ass genres for the sole purpose of pumping their own tits. All youtube hipsters do is create flame wars (like your doing now). You are so desperate to be an expert in a subject because you so miserably fail in real life. gtfo, it's rock. Who the fuck cares of it's doom/stoner metal. I'm pretty sure the sword doesn't go around pissing on people when they call them rock. Gtfo ya fuckin hipster

  • @maxpowd3r Obscure genres lmao? Really? Doom and Stoner metal has been around since the beginning of metal. Hell, Black Sabbath invented both! Snowblind and Sweetleaf two songs about doing coke and weed aka Stoner Metal. Electric Funeral and War Pigs aka Doom Metal. I don't claim to be an expert, however considering I was raised on this music and the first album I ever bought was Paranoid by Sabbath, I think I know what I am talking about. Quit being a whiny little trolling cunt.

  • Comment removed

  • @Eidemon Except the part where it's pagan.

  • @Eidemon Doom Metal*

  • Marijuana.

  • i fucking love this song, this and the black river are my faves on the gods of earth cd

  • seriously... fuck you if you don't like the sword!

  • Trivett Wingo is a real drummer. Listen to all those sounds, he can get out of a 3-piece drum kit(with single pedal) and two cymbals + hihat. A shame he had to leave the band, but I think he did the right choice. Wish you well Wingo.

  • i suggest reading the lyrics and then looking up the wicca history for this song, its pretty interesting

  • Buffalo Killers are another good band same influences and they sound great

  • I like the production, its refreshing to hear +1

  • I think this band kicks ass but I'm abit annoyed that all these awesome hard rock/metal songs are to do with wicca and witchcraft and so on :( but anyway this band still is number one on my list :D

  • @Vondrakon Im Wiccan.

    They are singing about the triple goddess. In wicca there is a basic duo-theistic worship, which is based on the masculine and feminine aspects of life. It sees the polarity of life and worships it.

    The triple goddess is known as the MAIDEN, the MOTHER, and the CRONE. Search it up ^^ kthxbye

  • What are they saying?

    

  • that's so true but idk if they coincider themselves as true metal bc the go back and forth between old hard rock and heavy metal sound most metal warriors stick with one sound and build onto it examples 3 inches of blood,manowar i mean their lyrics remind me of dio but their sound im not so sure about what they would call their music themselves.

  • The Sword is one of the only modern traditional heavy metal bands that keep metal true.

  • ok i will thanks brother of metal and yes he kinda does.

  • Epic song

  • adrien brody?

  • idk why it is but this is my favorite song and album by them? i tried listening to warp riders and it took me by storm bc they have the same singer but changed their sound a bit and made the drumming faster i liked them better when they were like this.

  • @METALFAN2486 Listen to Age of Winters man, their first album is better then all of them in my opinion lol and btw JD Cronise looks a bit like jesus in this video haha

  • @METALFAN2486 i didnt like warp riders the first couple of listens, but it is slowly becoming my favorite. Tears of Fire and Night City really stand out to me.

  • @theswordisgay

    it's funny because your opinion doesn't matter...

  • @theswordisgay Dude you seriously have no fucking life

  • @theswordisgay and what is real heavy music my friend

  • @theswordisgay and what is real heavy music my friend please enlighten us all

  • @DIRTYDANIII Enya.

  • @theswordisgay The Goddess agrees! Bravo.

  • @theswordisgay I have never heard any of their songs in a mall. I dont see how this is hipster? pretty sure the people who go around saying "this is too mainstream" etc are the hipsters? lul.

  • Man I know I'm late to the party but, The Sword is fucking awesome.

  • Wicked band!! Wanna catch their set at Heavy MTL,SHOULD BE WICKED!!!

  • Sabbathy!

  • like this if you also feel that this band are some of the most talented musicians around nowadays

  • best of old school/ new school = ace!

  • lol...just went back and read some of the comments! You guys are stupid as hell say'n the sword isn't metal. I can only Image what you guys listen to. Look, Black River is on Guitar Hero Metallica....Metallica says they're metal...they're fuck'n metal. No band ever has had a metal career like Metallica. Period. And I don't care what anybody says after this about Metallica. No matter if you like 'em now or not...you can't take away what they've done. So Fuck 'em all, Kill 'em all, Cliff 'em all!!

  • @SilverDragon4War

    Even if they weren't metal; would it really matter. They would still be good.

  • Ok...to the 21 ppl that dislike this...suck 1! No, no...suck 2!! lol And yeah they do have a black sabbath feel to 'em, but they are truly unique. I love how they write about old myths and legends, too. ....oh and just for the record....the maiden in this video....OMG, she's hot! DIBS!...I called it. :)

  • Love it......... but can you say black sabbath.

  • totally gettin it off tonight to the maiden... the mother the crone!

  • great song - I'll be checking out the cd soon. Good vid - but can we have a crone who is like, actually over the legal age limit?! sorry guys but we metal crones oughta get a look in! LOL!

    coraclewoman

  • You're not cool of you don't like the sword...

    come back down under soon guys!

    \mm/

  • Awesome! Speaks to me bigtime!

  • Led Zeppelin + Black Sabbath + Iron Maiden = The Sword

  • @meprim stupid comment. Dont compare them with The Sword. just enjoy and listen to The Sword not a combination of those bands. Stay cool!

  • @meprim i dont hear any iron maiden in them. But they have always reminded me of sabbath.

  • @sniktawleahcim True. When I made this comment these guys kinda reminded me of Maiden. I realize now that they dont sound like Maiden. So yeah.. durp on my part

  • @meprim Iron Maiden !?!?

  • @mob2season My reason because Im too lazy to explain YET AGAIN: They have the awesomness of Maiden

  • @meprim My favorite three bands, damn. I should start listening to these guys more often...

  • @meprim I think Maiden would be better replaced by someone like Witchfinder General

  • @Hughesy16LFC Ok, I've never heard of Whichfiner General

    But thanks to you I checked them out and agree

  • @meprim . Stop comparing . Enjoy the band for what they are. And not for what they should be!!

  • @TheFunkyfeelings Comparing?

  • @meprim Obvious you're a genius among all other humans.

  • @TheFunkyfeelings I wasnt comparing I was merging 3 great bands (Iron Maiden replaced by Whichfinder General) into one

    Also I agree

  • @meprim The Sword = The Sword

  • Hahahahah! Love that Jusus comment!
