December 15, 2009, 14 years ago
THE SWORD have announced January, 2010 US tour dates. The headlining run will launch on January 23rd in Corpus Christi, TX. The celebrated quartet will preview brand new songs from its as-yet-untitled third record over the course of the short tour. A full listing of upcoming tour dates can be seen below.
The Sword has completed the writing process for it's new album and follow up to 2008’s Gods Of The Earth. The band's new songs are said to feature a more direct and diverse take on the unit’s dynamic, power-driven sound in addition to “otherworldly / sci-fi” lyrical themes. The band will enter an Austin, TX studio in February to commence recording.
The Sword has taken the music world by storm in the time since the release of its debut album Age Of Winters (2006), gaining widespread acclaim for its aggressive sound, mountaintop-friendly hooks and lyrical themes rife with myth and mythology.
The band’s sophomore album Gods of the Earth was released in 2008 to a landslide of both fan and critical acclaim and the band supported the record by touring the globe with METALLICA on it's Death Magnetic world tour.
The Sword song 'The Black River' is featured on the wildly popular video game Guitar Hero: Metallica and the band’s track 'Celestial Crown' appears on the soundtrack to the movie Jennifer’s Body.
