These guys are great. I saw them open for the SP back in 07 and they out performed them in mho. I even hung out after at the merch booth to talk to them on how they experiment with sound. Great guys, hope they do well!
I saw them open for Skinny Puppy in 2007 and I must say it really turned me on to noise music. The drummer walked around in the crowd with a bunch of drum cymbals tied to his foot, then started acting possessed. I loved the way the drums were set up to bottom out the speakers every time he hit them and the mike taped to the throat was also very effective and made a unique sound. I wish these guys would come to Milwaukee Noise Fest!!
its not about musicality. jesus thats been done to fucking death to varying degrees of success for centuries. Its about an expression of raw fucking brutality sonically, as in how vibrations move air and actually PHYSICALLY ALTER positions of molecules in space that the LISTENER IS OCCUPYING thereby evoking a primal physical and emotional response. Dont hack Sword Heaven for being able to affect different people in different ways, and for us existing and liking this experience. Grow up.
i'll bet all of the people who have posted negative comments on this video have never actually seen the band in person. this video IS shit compared to seeing them live. i posted this for the people who are already fans. judging a band on a low quality youtube video is ridiculous. how do these people keep coming across it anyway?
WRONG! That's precisely why I post all this stuff about them. I was unfortunate enough to see them as an unwanted opening act for a band 10 million times better than them. It was the worst "musical" 30 minutes of my life.
This is absolutely the worst crap I've ever heard.
Yes, I like John Fogerty, Pet Shop Boys and Toto. Joy Division, Swans & Skinny Puppy, among many others. I have eclectic taste in music. MUSIC--Not moronic grunting and tuneless, talentless instrument "playing".
i'd like to know why this dickhead has posted this same comment on every sword heaven video? how did you come across them? why did you feel the need to put the same comment on all of them? keep listening to john fogerty, pet shop boys, & toto (on his favorites list) and stay the fuck away!

Wow! I did not to be barechest would qualify me to be on stage. Glad I found this - now I can tell it does exist. Anti-music is a meaningless expression. 'Total lack of talent' is more like it.
This is the real deal. Industrial was meant to be "anti-music" from day one. You fucking pop kids and goths ruined the scene. Skinny Puppy hasn't put out any real industrial in 20 years.
Hating noise and hating Sword Heaven are two different things. Sword Heaven aren't the roots of the genre, and SP fans don't owe them a lick of respect. We all respect bands like Throbbing Gristle, but that doesn't mean we have to like bands that are merely redoing what they were doing over 20 years ago.
Maybe you should be a bit more accepting of other's opinions instead of invoking shame on people because they don't agree with you.
Not everyone gives a shit about "real industrial." A lot of us older SP fans have grown out of the whole "anti-music" thing and have realized that it's rewarding to expand our tastes a little bit.
That's because SP hardly qualifies as Industrial itself, you ninny. My taste in music is quite expansive, however, I'm not a fan of Skinny Puppy... or Frontline Assembly for that matter, they're both highly overrated.
I was unfortunate enough to see this shit live before Puppy. they blow chunks seriously. I guess an epileptic fat shirtless dude with rabies isn't my thing.
you really have to hear how it sounds when they do it live. audio on this vid doesn't do it justice. the triggered drums sound like he's firing canons.
does he tape a mic around his neck? or are his vocals being picked up by the drum mics?

Trust me people, seeing them live is NOT better than this video. It's worse to hear this garbage at ear piercing volumes.
Sword Heaven is the worst "band" EVER.

This is supposed to be "anti music".
I enjoy it, but the sound quality isn't too great.
Or maybe it's all the feedback.
Either way, it's alright.
