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!
have you seen movies? are you from the post apocalyptic future that this video is in and you've ever seen movies on film reels by candlelight like that guy at the beginning? This is gloriously bad.
@@CalindaSharisse this is like emulated 80's metal aesthetic bad, but in the best way. I love it. Admit it, if you were listening to Black Sabbath etc back then and you saw this music video, you'd be losing your mind 😂
Awesome homage to 'Heavy Metal' the cinematic cartoon , here in this video. Wouldn't expect anything less from the coolest bunch of fella's in metal \m/
I found it more of an homage to Ralph Bakshi, personally & would love to see The Sword collaborate with him on a feature-length animated film in the same vein as Wizards...
This should 've been in the Fallout 3 soundtrack as some kind of secret heavy metal radio station run by the Raiders... That would've been so kickass...
Been listening to these guys on Pandora for years. Never thought to see if they had anything on RUclips. Doh! If I was smart I wouldn't work construction.
only a select few could view whats in the box (without being charged by the contents)..a partical excelerator is needed for the next phase... lol awesome video much class!! starwars meets dune meets the exodus meets..the flux capacitor.. (as in could b yesterday or 1000 years).. either way awesome video and well put together.. been a while since i first viewed it.. but it hasn't lost its shine yet..
I'm getting more addicted to these guys everyday! They're keeping so much shit alive through their own stuff it's unreal. And to this guy who says all there songs sound too much alike. Dude, how many great bands can be accused of this? Be serious. Who cares! If metal and great rock n' roll are going to continue to survive great bands like this are going to be a big part of it!
@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.
man all these people hating the band... i just heard them an i love there old school tone. people who hate are fools, just leave it alone. if you people ranted about every single sound you don't like you'd probebly pass out from the lack of air. please give it a rest. for all our sakes.
hellsoul0 After seeing your post, I listened to a few of the new tracks & they're awesome. Just not the thrash-throwback material form the first 2 records... the ages old metalhead gripe. Thanks again man!
+Warrior Poet The main riff to their new song "Empty Temples" got stuck in my head for days after I first heard it. I even heard it when I was trying to go to sleep! It's very Sabbath sounding with some Thin Lizzy thrown in.
@JonnyMonster91 I agree, but I found back in my mind an analogy with sound of Entombed on album Inferno. I know that this is pure coincidence but it's interesting.
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.
Holy fuck this song is amazing. Video gives me goosebumps. True to form for The Sword, both the video and song leave me wanting more from the epic tales they tell
We've crossed the burning wastelands Sought out forgotten tombs Within this shattered planet Beneath a broken moon We live amongst the ruins Where cities once did rise From graves of fallen nations Watch hollow eyes In our time we have seen Untold pain and suffering Our legends tell of weapons Wielded by kings of old Crafted by evil wizards Unholy to behold We seek the fire lances That slew the ancient race The world where they were masters Now lays in waste In your time you shall see Endless death and misery Invoke myth and prophecy All you know shall cease to be
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.
@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
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.

The Sword almost completely emulates what I love to hear from Heavy Metal/Classic Rock.
It's like Ozzy, Death Metal, a Les Paul and a bag of some kind ass bud got down with some heavy baby makin' and 9 months later the Les Paul popped out the Antichrist known as George RR Martin.

Was initially surprised to see the Bakshi LOTR style rotoscoping here, but it just works so damn well.
Easily one of the BEST and most visually STUNNING videos that I've ever had the good fortune to see! It fits very well with the song too!
have you seen movies? are you from the post apocalyptic future that this video is in and you've ever seen movies on film reels by candlelight like that guy at the beginning? This is gloriously bad.
To each his or her own...
i did say it was gloriously bad. it isn't unwatchable. this is like.. bad in just the right amount so it is enjoyable to watch.

Easily one of my favorite songs from these guys.
Probably their heaviest riff too. Makes me want to mosh
Reminds me of "Wizards" by Ralph Bakshi.
DUDE! Love the "Wizards"/"Heavy Metal" feel to this video! Awesome rotoscoping! LONG LIVE METAL!

Great Clip, Great Band. Bring on the 3rd Album!
perhaps the finest moment for the sword
I have loved this song since 2008! The Sword create great albums! They are great artists and I support them fully!
Love the production on this record
BRILLIANT

The guy with the axes at the end basically stopped a nother nuke from launching.
This is pretty much awesome, yeah.
This song completely captures the imagination.
A master piece.
Nuff said.
I'm just glancing over these posts cause I'm too busy watching an AWESOME VIDEO! Can't wait for their third album!
Simply Amazing! This video is like Heavy Metal(the movie) on DMT.....
Its just like early Slayer meets early Black Sabbath! Epic!!
Epic video
Awesome song
Epicly Awesome band!
how come everyone keeps hatin on this band? classic 'real' heavy metal, total pentagram vocal style, love it!!
i knew the song way before the clip.. the song is amazing but the clip just blew my mind!
so awesome!! 5/5!
I'd love to see a fan video using footage from Wizards.
The sword is awesome live. \m/
YEAH, a bright look into the future!!
that was the single greatest thing ive ever seen.
i love the style its like the old cartoon lotr movie.

Sick tune,sick video.Brilliant.Love THE SWORD
What day cause I'm seeing them on the 3rd of Oct. in Portland
I saw them 2yrs ago
Great video. This band's new album is sick too. Hoping to catch them on tour this winter.
the rotoscoping in this video is badass
God damn this video reminds me so much of Heavy Metal. So much so, I'm going to watch it now lol
Cant believes they're over now. RIP the sword
They are touring with Clutch at the moment. They did a hell of a job. Check the dates and get a show in.
@@ryanwooden783 Now--December 2022--they sadly _are_ over. Clutch still around!
What a wicked vid.
So sick

We've crossed the burning wastelands
Sought out forgotten tombs
Within this shattered planet
Beneath a broken moon
We live amongst the ruins
Where cities once did rise
From graves of fallen nations
Watch hollow eyes
In our time we have seen
Untold pain and suffering
Our legends tell of weapons
Wielded by kings of old
Crafted by evil wizards
Unholy to behold
We seek the fire lances
That slew the ancient race
The world where they were masters
Now lays in waste
In your time you shall see
Endless death and misery
Invoke myth and prophecy
All you know shall cease to be
Why can’t I stop listening to this song?
I'm going to go see them Sat. night. Can't wait.
Great band!! I just discovered it through a friend... ¡At last I have something to combine with Danava in my playlists!
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.
Where the fck this band came from out of nowhere on YT. I like it, awesome!!!
this is my favorite band of all time! THE SWORD FTW!!!!
This totally rocks. Where were you in the 80's??
Good Song!
Our legends tell of weapons/wielded by kings of old/crafted by evil wizards/unholy to behold.
Gotta love those lyrics.
I love this video reminds me of the Roto-scoping Animation of WIZZARDS and Lord of the Rings (1977 cartoon)
Metal mastery!
Such a great song... I'm seeing them in October can't fuckin wait
Fantástico.
My favorite song!!! bad ass!
The Sword kicks ass they mix old school metal with mysticism a winning combination
I absolutely agree. Sounds really ridiculous. On the other hand, the song and the video are marvellous, and I am really happy for the guys...

First time hearing this song and I couldn't stop headbanging
love the artwork!!
@menekali2 but look at it like this, you get a whole bunch of brand new cds to listen to all at once. Lucky!
The rotoscoping style animation reminds me of the 1978 Bashki Lord of the Rings film.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! i love how NoLiesPlease says "pass the doobie"
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.

Hyperzephyrians, one of my favorite words.
i fucking love the deer with flaming antlers in this video, so fucking awesome.
Must see them live and headbang!
This needs a new upload in HD
Most epic title for a song EVER! :-P
Mastodon , Baroness , The Sword , and Opeth are my fav. bands
lets be fwends
my man.
Thanks to this comment I found Opeth, and man they're amazing! How did I not know about them, I have no idea.
Same but instead of opeth it's Red Fang
