    Hey, this has become one of my all time favorites...I’m an older dude too (50). Saw them in New Orleans few years ago during pre high country. I still remember hearing “tears of diamonds”. Figured that would be huge. Lawless lands has some killer moments, anyone else’s thoughts?

    I was at this show. Opeth followed them and Akerfeldt dropped his guitar as soon as he got to the stage. Simpler times!

    I saw these guys in Saint Louis in 2004 (or 2005?), opening for Trail of Dead. The Sword absolutely stole the show. Still one of the best riffs ever.

      The mic was too low… if it was higher than his head he would be looking up which is a more natural singing position
      But I also feel while his singing is alright it lacks a little emotion which I feel is what makes a singer good

      @seniscram check out Gojira especially Stranded and Pray. Those songs are incredible. Sleep by Dragonaut is very similar style. And you can never go wrong with Pantera's I'm Broken. A History of Bad Men by The Melvins. Check out Metal Mac Attack playlist on Spotify.

      @@number8pencil Saw them open for Clutch twice. Once in Charlottesville and earlier in Richmond. Both bands were great, though I went to see the Sword. Am a wee bit old but actually started a mosh pit in Richmond. Not intentionally. Asked a dude jumping around in front of me to calm down a little. He didn't listen and almost knocked my wife over. With me being on the right side of the size spectrum he was propelled a fair distance. Knocked into another guy who got perturbed and also sent him flying. Right away he turned into a human pinball and a mosh pit developed. Starting a mosh pit is one for the bucket list.

      That's the challenge of touring - not wrecking your voice after multiple nights in a row on the road, getting little sleep and eating bad food. This is from 2011 - agreed, the vox can't compete with the thunder coming from the monster riffs. Last time I caught the Sword, JD's vocals had some chorus and/or delay in the live show, and it definitely gave it the fullness it deserves, complementing the riffage at volume. 3:27 mark in Freya is so sick! Viva la sword!!!
