I love The Sword, their style, their flow and Simplicity!! They're like one of the few Metal Bands that sound Just as amazing live as they do in the studio
Man, these fucking guys know what they're doing. That song should have been a hit on the radio. Definitely one of the best bands of the 00's, and one of the best in metal today.
Haha brandnew1331 you can tell this was one of the shows where they opened for priestess because of the richtone stack behind him not turned on. Richtone amps are both Mikey Hepnner and Dan Watchorn of priestess amp of choice J.D. from the sword bounces inbetween laney and orange amps.
When I first heard Freya on Guitar Hero II I thought that The Sword was some late 70's/early 80's band that I had just never heard of...but then I searched for them in Music on MySpace and whaddaya know...I have a new favorite band!
Saw these guyz in Chicago not too long ago, it'd be cool if them, Clutch and DOWN toured! (Not sure if there's enuff herb in the state for that show..:)
Man, its so nice to see some of the older style of metal still alive today in such a fucking kickass band. Love the singers voice, real garage-band-like =P
At least they try!!! There trying to keep the metal spirit alive!!! Now, I love the Sword and I'm hopefully seeing them this January with this girl (BAM haha)!! But I think they succeed in keeping Metal alive, and they are trying to make it more mainstream, which I support to the fullest!
@MeetTheCryptid well it may look like a BC Rich, but it is a Gibson man, i saw a close up picture of that exact same guitar one time and it said Gibson on the neck, plus all The Sword plays with are Gibson's lol
Holy shit, this is excellent quality...and it's at SF 12 galaxies the show I wish I would have gone to. DId you film this yourself? please I have to connect with you.
Favourite band hands down, JD always sounds better when he has to yell a bit and im surprised wingo's even wearing a shirt, thats first, these guys are way better live, my only complaint is that they have been taking forever to release warp riders.
Its a little bit wierd that they are playing in it in C standard tuning. I was almost certain it was played in drop C. Its also easier to play that way.

Freya weeps upon her golden throne"
Awesome Song, Awesome Lyrics
Damn the live version sounds so good and crisp
I could totally imagine Ozzy singing this and it sounding just as good.
Saw and heard these guys for the first time when they opened up for CLUTCH in Redding PA a couple years ago and have been hooked ever since....
I love The Sword, their style, their flow and Simplicity!! They're like one of the few Metal Bands that sound Just as amazing live as they do in the studio
Great song.. and excellent job on recording the live performance. this is really good quality for a live performance recording...

This band is so underated its ridiculous.
Wow these guys are seriously underrated. I've listened to a few of their songs and I like them very much
I just saw these guys open up for Motorhead in Austin at the SXSW Fest... They kicked ass... I had never heard of them before.
Theyre a sick band, i saw them live a few days ago with down and metallica. EPIC!!!
I saw these guys open for clutch last year - fucking awesome band! Go see both of them!!
I'm going to see them at Slim's in SF on the 19th! It's going to be awesome!
Rockin'!! Can't wait to see these guys play in Glasgow. Oh yaaaassss!!!
WOW. I saw this band on public television last night, or this morning rather, at like 4 AM, insomnia as never sounded so good, or been so rewarding
I have these guys as my friends on my bands myspace....the modern day Sabbath!
Such an AWESOME BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is awesome! That's the greatest metaphorical saying used to describe anything in the history of metal music!
Man, these fucking guys know what they're doing. That song should have been a hit on the radio. Definitely one of the best bands of the 00's, and one of the best in metal today.
Truly awesome guitar music!
Haha brandnew1331 you can tell this was one of the shows where they opened for priestess because of the richtone stack behind him not turned on. Richtone amps are both Mikey Hepnner and Dan Watchorn of priestess amp of choice J.D. from the sword bounces inbetween laney and orange amps.

When I first heard Freya on Guitar Hero II I thought that The Sword was some late 70's/early 80's band that I had just never heard of...but then I searched for them in Music on MySpace and whaddaya know...I have a new favorite band!
Wow this comment is old
I agree with englandsk8err. Epic jam!!! The Sword kicks so much ass!!!!

They've been out there forever, Mastodon and The Sword are just the first two to get any real recognition.
Awesome song!
I hope these guys put out another record, they were great live and really good players. yeah.
Saw these guyz in Chicago not too long ago, it'd be cool if them, Clutch and DOWN toured! (Not sure if there's enuff herb in the state for that show..:)

Kind of sounds like Kyuss too. Good stuff!

This band is da fucking bomb!!
I like to describe their music as "epic jams!"
At least they try!!! There trying to keep the metal spirit alive!!! Now, I love the Sword and I'm hopefully seeing them this January with this girl (BAM haha)!! But I think they succeed in keeping Metal alive, and they are trying to make it more mainstream, which I support to the fullest!

@MeetTheCryptid well it may look like a BC Rich, but it is a Gibson man, i saw a close up picture of that exact same guitar one time and it said Gibson on the neck, plus all The Sword plays with are Gibson's lol

@englandsk8err This song makes you head bang, regardless of if you want to or not!! Very Metal!! \m/
this is pretty heavy
Killer!
The drummer for the band, Trivett Wingo, used to be my Latin teacher in High School. How many people can say that...?
Hard Core!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"why don't you guys play something heavy?" - LOL - these guys ROCK...killer tune
Great song Also in GH2 its crazy...:p

Rep my little city, guys!
BC Rich Mockingbird. As used by Slash, as well.
Finally some young kids playing REAL MUSIC!!
reminds me of the black keys
one reviewer said, its like pushing a herd of bison over a cliff
the beggining sounded just like the studio version
yeah
and even if it was pretend,it´s fuckin badass!!
looks like these guys walked in off the street. THIS is a gritty band.
despite that, the notes that they do play are really good. I agree that it could use some different notes too though.
GUITAR HERO!!!!!
i agree
These guys play like I play air guitar lol...guitar rock hopefully never dies.
Favourite band hands down, JD always sounds better when he has to yell a bit and im surprised wingo's even wearing a shirt, thats first, these guys are way better live, my only complaint is that they have been taking forever to release warp riders.
lol HASH THRASH! kick ass song, reminds me f Corrosion of Conformity.
Yeah, it sounds just like the song on the album.
DA SBARLLARE!!
I want his guitar abilities...
good guitar ok vocals
Oh Man! SUPERBAND!!
Hail to kickass old school metal \m/\m/. Death to the core crap.
Its a little bit wierd that they are playing in it in C standard tuning. I was almost certain it was played in drop C. Its also easier to play that way.
OMG this is the shit man i mean this is the kind of music you would to hear as you charge into battle
that guy is so Iommi-ish
Badass song
Anyone have a drum tab for this song?
I love how they don't have any facny light show or pyro technincs or costumes, it's just the music standing on its own.
