The Sword Rules!!!
Dear The Sword...I love you just the way you are.
Amen
The swells and dynamic harmonies and grooves, pushing and pulling yet right on point. Perfect tone.
These guys are amazing musicians and song writers. Super precision tightness and dynamics with sweet harmonies. Everytime I listen to these guys makes me want to start playing music again.
Clearly one of the most under rated rock, metal, stoner: There isn't enough great things to describe this band. Probably one of the loudest bands I've seen live. My ears are still ringing after two years. I hope you guys come back to The Bourbon in Lincoln, Neb soon!
WHATD YOU SAY? I JUST SAW THE SWORD LIVE
I first saw these guys in 2016, also in Austin, where they opened for Opeth. It was my first concert and I didn't know who they were, but they played so well and I even got my hands on their set-list. Been a fan since then.
Absolutely Love the progression of their sound. Awesome band
This show was so great. Absolutely loved it they killed it! Glad I got to see it live in my city too. Thank you to The Sword!!!
This is the sort of live power a heavy band is SUPPOSED to have! I will miss them.
Reading all these comment with people saying. "Why do you guys give them so much shit for their new stuff?" Are probably the same people who only discovered them when warp riders came out. You don't understand how refreshing and fucking bad ass it was to hear these guys when Age of Winters Came out. It was a masterpiece. It was heavy, it had an old school rock/metal vibe. It felt this heavy and dark tone that made you imagine demons, rogues, wizards , giant fucken monsters and warriors and all that cool shit. And then God's of the Earth came out and it took things to a whole new level. And this was almost 10 years ago.
Now you New fans come in having only really listened to one heavy album and now claim all their shift after warp riders is still good. Nah. You didn't experience and live the slow degrading of their heavy sound and intense and bad ass direction and musical themes.
It was still creative but it was also heavy and other worldly. Now when they perform their old songs.. it sounds like a shitty cover band or they are so focused on changing their sound.. they don't give the old sons that same sound and passion.
So fuck off with this "Omg they are so much better "FUCK no. Just because a band changes their shit doesn't mean it's always good.
The boys are back baby! Levitation2024! The Sword Rules All🤘🤘🤘
I love 'Sea of Green' more than I love my mother.
I was there and the encore was so awesome. When the T Rex song hit, everyone went crazy. It's a good riff. Bryan the bassist had a huge grin on his face and the band was having so much fun. Powerful.
Dr. Marshall, I never thought I'd run into you in a combox about heavy metal. I'd love a podcast addressing arguments pro- and con- rock and roll music, which gets a serious bad rap in sectors of the traditional Catholic community. By the way, your recent 18 min. presentation on B16's resignation was quite good.
Come to think of it, it could be a collaborative episode with Dr. Tom Woods. Dr. Esolen could provide the counterargument.
What an amazing set. This band has just evolved so well over the years. Low Country version of Ghost Eye was a highlight! The rest of the band has really stepped it up with the backup vocals and it makes a HUGE difference in the quality of their live performances!
I was at this show in the very front and I got the set list! Probably one of my favorite shows. Wish they would tour again
They're touring with primus soon.
Justin Herer I know I already got my ticket!!
great show in an intimate setting. Good audio and fine performances all around.
Thanks for sharing the show with the world
It had been a while since I'd been addicted to listening to a record until I met "Warp Riders" and "Used Future." You have a fan here in Brazil...
Metal fans are so ridiculously unforgiving. The band has been changing direction since Warp Riders, why are you surprised with the new material especially this set list considering it’s an album support tour? If you like it, fantastic, if you don’t like it then stop complaining on the internet and listen to something else. These guys still shred and I can’t wait to see them in April
Whining is mainly what the internet is used for unfortunately. It would make way too much sense to keep one's mouth shut and simply listen to something else. Just for the record, I still love these guys as well. The general consensus that this band "isn't good anymore" is highly exaggerated.
.... just........ cant describe it... i dont want to bitch....... dont know what to say........
It took me a while to get used to it, but I dig the new stuff too. Saw them again when they came through Portland, and they still kick MAJOR ASS!
@SaveTheWorldRadio completely subjective opinion. You aren't the arbiter of whats good and bad. For some its a really good album, for some its not, i can understand why some fans may not like it, but i think its good. Its just definitely different.
My biggest issue with the new stuff (other than the synthesizers) is that they tune up now.
All the older albums were in C standard tuning and it just feels wrong for them to play in D standard instead.
Saw these dudes with O'Brother and it was everything it needed to be!
I have that same strap John has with his guitar, except I use it for my DSLR lol.
Good stuff! Can't wait to see them love on the East Coast!
Oh man! I want one, where did you get it?
Man I should have went to see them when I had the chance, instead I squandered my money away on drugs and alchool. I can't wait for them to come back, take as long as you need!
THEYRE BACK!!!!
Fantastic show! I really dig the new stuff. The Wild Sky in the encore was was my favorite. Incredible
fantastic band.. just so cool to see this...
What a great drummer!
I uses to fly around the country to go see these guys and then they quit on us.
Sad.
Great capture. Thanks very much! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🖤🖤🤘🏻🤘🏻
Great set, camera work, and sound!

I was really hoping for something off Age of Winter. I hope they play some heavier jams in Toronto.
Unreal set list, surprised not to see Freya in there which is possibly a testament to the depth of the matetial they have to choose from .
Did you tell her youre a gynocologist?
Nooooooo! I wish I would've seen this before i figured out the set, song by song haha
One of the best rock bands around...
Great night. Small venues are the best. Thanks Sword, you guys rocked as always.
Literally you guys kick so much ass! I love you
Trivett Wingo leaves and the band turns into ZZ Top. This is a top notch rock band.
Still love these guys, but man they have taken a musical direction that is polar opposite from the roots of why they became popular in the first place.
No they just took out the chugachugas and replaced them with well crafted music. The Sword is still The Sword. Their musicianship hasnt changed at all. They still have a similar composition style as they did 15 years ago. Their sound is now just even grander in scale. They can be anything. Those are the best kinds of bands - something new every time.
I agree thier first 4 albums are killlerr then when they started to switch thier sound i was bumbed, its still good just not as good as thier earlier stuff to me
Waiting on the big ole bundle preorder hope it gets here soon!!
Damn they are awesome! 🤘
love it
PNW circuit through Portland please. Would love to see this band live in Doug Fir Lounge or similar.
Would love to see them live. Come to Indianapolis!
come to Brasil!
These guys turn it to 10... maybe 11. I'm glad to hear that Kevin has got his fill figured out.
i like the progression they have made.......look at how Opeth has changed over the years doesnt make them suck its just different\
This is what it's like to sheath a sword.
These guys are my shit!!!

Going to see The SWORD in S ept 2021 wirh PRIMUS and Wolfmohter in the 614!!!!!!
the bass is killer!
I've been a fan since the first album and loved all everything since. I have the shirts, I buy the vinyl, I go to the shows. The Used Future songs are cool from what I've heard.
But guys... to not play anything of Age of Winters is shocking and disappointing. Please throw in a few of those songs for the tour. I understand not wanting to focus on the past when a new album is out, but don't forget your old fans.
And what, one song from Gods of the Earth? They're just not that band any more.
I agree
Eh, when they were at The Gothic in Denver six months ago they had like five songs in their set from Age of Winters and Gods of the Earth. It's probably because this is a short set with a new album coming. For their full sets, they do more variety.
Loping Camshaft I mean, they played some gods of the earth, which is... almost as old. I understand where you’re coming from though.
Just saw them live. Amazing show but i had the exact same sentiment. Even to end with Freya or baraels blade in the encore would have been incredibly satisfying
Beyond stoked for the Toronto show. Please play some older material though. Quite literally anything off Age of Winter would be excellent.
Come back to Charlottesville Jefferson theater or Shiley acres!!!!!
Excellent band. Reminds me faintly of Monster Magnet.
Actually starts at 7:00
It never started
Oh hell yes 🤘🤘
Cannot wait to them and Wolfmother and Primus when the show gets rescheduled
Is The Sword playing every date of that tour? I was going to see Primus regardless.. but if The Sword is there too that would be legendary!
Jacob Hill I know Wolfmother is. The Sword I think is playing half the shows and Battles is playing the other half. The Sword is gonna be in Atlanta for the show I’m planning on.
How the hell did i just find out about you? You guys killed it at Pop's last night!
Tight.
tomorrow night baby im ready
2nd time watching, great show guys!
Fuck labels and genres! Bad ass music knows no boundaries!
I love the Sword. They kind of lost me in the era they starting tuning and playing everything in standard tuning
Would love if they decided to get a top notch front man, would definitely put them on another level.
where is the energy going?
🤘🤘
Why I gotta fast forward to like 6 minutes to hear music
I don’t have a problem with bands evolving over time. We all change over 5, 10, 30 years. But I will say, I’m not sure why so many of my favorite bands (The Sword, Mastodon, The Black Keys, Queens of the Stone Age, etc) get “softer” in their sound with age. Why do bands always equate “changing things up to stay creatively invested” with “exploring our chill side”...
The one band that does it right though is Mastodon. Their music is always changing, but when they play songs from Leviathan or Remission, they play them the way they were written to be played. I mean, look, experimenting is great, but just because you’re making different music now doesn’t mean songs that were written and recorded with a heavier sound and aggression should be played in your new style. When I see The Sword live, it’s a disservice to the songs and the fans to play something off Gods of the Earth in a chill-bro vibe. That’s all I’m saying
Mastodon has been shit since laviathan.
I'd throw Opeth in that list too.
blood mountian is one of the best albums of the last 20 years....
Not trying to be a ahole or anything, but maybe it's just that they're growing up. You can't really make another Laviathan, or Rated R or Age of Winters. Those are monumental albums. I have always been a Trash Metal fan. But now that I am in my 40's, my tastes have matured. I still love Mastodon, QOTSA (Well, not the last album so much), Clutch etc. When I hear old Testament/Slayer/Death Angel I get pumped, but it's hard for those bands to replicate their best stuff. I just enjoy everything a little bit different now.
Manly and Loving It honestly i thought Once more round the sun was pretty heavy. Not in the same way as leviathan or remission or even cts, but very heavy still. I agree theyve had a stellar career.
I like the live-sword sound better than their recordings. Their recordings, especially on their newer stuff, is too processed, and especially on the newest album, synthesized. Live, they play their newer, more “hippieish” songs with a distorted, raw sound and it sounds good.
Killer!
Thanks for streaming the show! Great camera angles and good audio. I hope you guys do this again in the future!
New songs sounded cool. Didn't surprise me with a majority of the set being new album + High Country. With this being streamed that probably had a huge hand in what songs got played. You'll have people discovering you for the first time so you go with more recent stuff. With this show out of the way they'll probably mix in more older stuff for the tour, would love to see different tracks from AoW and GotE played. Stuff like Frost Giant's Daughter, Lords, the Black River, and Ebethron. I feel like the setlist for this show really slowed down in the middle. It kind of felt like up-tempo then chill then up-tempo then chill. Encore came out swinging and that was awesome!
🍺🤘
what in the actual fuck??? happened to johns voice????!!???
I think TheSwordofDoom is Fucking Rad, However the 2013 Hellfest show where Dude looks like a young Ron Jeremy , is the Sword I know and like.
I am late to the party. Do many folks compare them to CLutch at all? And/OR what are some similarish bands like Sword?
There is a band called Howling Giant who i totally love. Also if you haven't heard of Pelican, go check them out! Especially their first album. Similar-ish vibes.
Maiden, Mother & Crone (Bossa Version)
When I saw you guys on the High Country tour, the different tuning and altered vocals bugged me. I'm warming to the change, though.
Rad.
Their older songs sound so weird in standard tuning. Or perhaps a half step down? Hard to tell for sure. It's definitely not down to C standard though. haha
Why is the Moog on the floor??
Bryan needs more arms!
Did they play tres brujas in e flat??
Yeah, I think they started doing that on the High Country tour.
yes its fuckin annoying.
Disappointing
Yeap. They now play everything in Eb or maybe D. I don't like it AT ALL. The old songs have lost all of their balls and energy the way they play them live now.
I like The Sword but dang they got SOFT 😞
FUGGGIN SWORD!!!!!!!
Is that Cronise? Why is he singing old sword with the new sword voice?
i think they tune to E flat now when they play live
охуенно!!!!! )
These guys great but they're recording quality sucks! I have every CD and was hoping this new one would have improved but,.......
..... they dont look...... happy?
I wish he would stop trying to improvise the melodies live... they're not Zeppelin. Vocal improvisation is not one of his talents.
Here is the problem with that. It would sound just fine if they would play all of their songs from apocryphon and before in the tuning they were recorded in which is C standard. But they play everything in this tuning from used future which is E standard tuned a half step down. JD can't go from as high as he sings normally to even higher so he has to feel it out live. You can really notice this in Lawless Lands
did they get a new drummer or did he grow his hair out from being bald
Love the Sword but live this band should be instrumental only! ....painful
This band used to be so good
And now they're fantastic.
A Rolling Stone gathers no moss......
The new album is so badass!!
+Andy Johnson It's extremely depressing, eh? In my opinion, they really peaked and hit their stride during the Age Of Winters - Warp Riders era, Apocryphon was a pretty solid record, but then it's been a quick and vertical drop straight down since then.
Can't keep making the same exact music on and on forever. There are only so many heavier than yer mammy's period riffs you can write before you want to try something else. I love the old stuff, but I still dig this as well.
......
12:13 - I'm not impressed by your performance ◔_◔
Ha! I'm actually the guy behind her rocking my head back and forth!
Dr Taylor Marshall Hahaha hey man! Nice head banging ... rocking... lol
Just got into this band, devoured their first three records... this is disappointing at best.
Can i ask why? Just curious
The new songs sound like filler between the old songs.
Tom Wisniewski they are.
this new rhythm they give to old songs, a kind of dancing rhythm, like in Madein, Mother and Crone, is completely horrible. do not get me wrong, I love some new songs, Dreamthieves is one of the best songs of the band for me, but for god sake, all the old songs are now played in this stupid rhythm. if the band had recorded the songs years ago at that rhythm, I guarantee they would not have half the fans today. i just ask for that, do not change the old songs, do whatever you want when you create the new ones, but don't fucking change the old songs!!!
Like, I don't even fucking recognize Cloak of Feathers. Horrible voice leading. Come off it now.
The Sword are so boring these days. I get changing your sound and all, they are obviously channeling ZZ Top and other bands of this era. Maybe they are leading more chill lives, but I remember when The Sword sounded majestic. I'll still go to the shows, but this is kinda sad.
is this psych fest?
These guys get worse with age. That was a sad performance
