The Bastard Children of Black Sabbath, Metallica and Zeppelin!! Could any fan of metal ask for more???? This band has single handedly restored my faith in Modern Rock.....
I hear all of that as well as some Maiden, Trouble, Deep Purple the list goes on. Sword have managed very fucking awesomely to gather all of those elements and bring them to us as one .
I've had the pleasure of seeing The Sword live. Was fucking great! They opened for Kyuss Lives aka Vista Chino in Chicago. One of the best concerts I've ever been to honestly.
Saw them in SF on that tour too. Was so fucking disappointed when I found out josh homme wasn’t on the tour and that’s why they went by Kyushu Lives. Seeing these guys made up for it. They blew us all away. Easily outperformed Kyushu that show. Saw them again this year for the Used Future tour. Their stage presence has only gotten better with age and experience.
I've been singing this to my newborn son... It's important kids today grow up with a respect for epic metal, especially awesome concept albums like this one :)
RIP The Sword. I saw you guys for the first time opening for Clutch and I was blown the fuck away. You broke up less than a year later, however I am forever grateful I got to see you live. For an opening act you guys absolutely nailed it. Thank you.
I'm so glad Metallica brought these guys out on tour in '08 so more people discover this band. Thankfully bands like The Sword, DOWN, Mastodon are here to keep hard rock alive and well.
Cool Band!! Had a chance of seeing them at the Furst Rivercity Rock Fest in San Antonio Tx. Guns & Roses sux that night they were the Main band at that show!! Clutch kick ass !!
This video is sick. Being from a sci-fi concept album I'm seeing shades of Star Wars Episode IV at times. But not the true Star Wars but more of a Tarantino-esq Kill Bill infused version. \m/
A strange voice within his mind From the glowing orb in his hand Spoke of the properties of certain herbs Growing wild all across this land Three witches you shall meet Along the road to your fate The first at twilight, the second at night, And the third at the coming of day Inhaling deeply of the sacred smoke Slipping in between the worlds He beheld a living column of light And it sang to him without a word Three witches you shall meet Upon the path to your fate The first will love you, the second will deceive you, And the third will show you the way Draw back your arrow and let it fly May your aim be straight and true Remember all that you have been told And there might be some hope for you Three witches you shall meet Along the road to your fate The first is twilight, the second is night, And the third is the coming of day
@metalliman28716 seeing them 2 days in a row. oct .11 in birmingham & oct. 12 in atlanta.havent seen them before. i agree, warp riders is a brilliant piece of work.
Excellent piece of work! Thank you very much for Sharing!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
I know, I own all their cd's. Early shit is death metal, then progressive, but their latest is just rock. They are now currently rock. Which is why is say they keep rock alive, since that's where they've ventured into. They are also played on most rock stations now. I mostly listen to metal, so I'm glad there are still bands that play on the fence of metal/rock and keep both strong.
@joelakastud123 +1 for stating your opinion without being obnoxious or rude about it. And as this is the second song I've heard by this band, I'll be sure to check out their older stuff as well.
Saw these guys in Detroit. Didn’t even really know much but was up front staring at the touring drummer. Guy looked like he played with tree trunks just bashing the fuck out of the kit. Kick ass show. Sound was perfect
@englandsk8err Trivett and JD went to the same high school, but weren't friends. JD met Kyle through the Sword's original bassist Ben, who was kicked out after their first show and replaced by Bryan. Trivett moved to Austin to be in Funeralizer but quit to do the Sword full-time, which was essentially Ultimate Dragons with a different guitarist.
These guys heard rock was dead, and accepted the challenge, then proceeded to climb the mountain and take the castle at the top, rescue the princess, slaying an entire army in the process, and then claimed the castle for their own. Using only THE SWORD.
@96drawkcab There's the three witches in Macbeth who tell him that he will rise to be king and then warn of his downfall. They pretty much pop up in various types of mythology and can predict the future, which fits with the lyrical content of the song, "Three witches you shall meet, on the road to your fate..."
Hey, when somebody posts a negative comment about an obscure (or even not so obscure) band and their name is BANDNAMEisgay, they might just be trolling. Feeding them only make them stronger. Just some food for thought. Ant any rate, this band/song/video owns.
These guys need to replace what's being played on the radio......not one mention of "sho-tay"....no clubs or parties.....not even a reference about high school problems........THIS needs to be on the radio!
I read your comment as the song starts. I'm like "pfff, it must make some kind of sense" so I watch closesly. The song ends. I realise it made no sense whatsoever. I gave you thumbs up. End of story.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEE FUCKING DOWN \M/ HELL YEAH. I fucking love you man I never hear anyone talking about them outside their related pages man.

Such an underrated band. Warp Riders = Awesome album
Every single album has at least a hand full of masterful tracks. Save for used future, not a big fan of that one. Legendary band though!
I agree that underrated is a possibility. Yet, how do you explain this:
ua-cam.com/video/wcGvsUsP7bY/v-deo.html
Warp riders probably appeals to more people, but I absolutely love Age of Winters!!!
agreed
The Bastard Children of Black Sabbath, Metallica and Zeppelin!!
Could any fan of metal ask for more????
This band has single handedly restored my faith in Modern Rock.....
Some Thin Lizzy in the mix too
I hear all of that as well as some Maiden, Trouble, Deep Purple the list goes on. Sword have managed very fucking awesomely to gather all of those elements and bring them to us as one .
drugs
Never thought of it that way but now I hear it.
I've had the pleasure of seeing The Sword live. Was fucking great! They opened for Kyuss Lives aka Vista Chino in Chicago. One of the best concerts I've ever been to honestly.
Saw them in SF on that tour too. Was so fucking disappointed when I found out josh homme wasn’t on the tour and that’s why they went by Kyushu Lives. Seeing these guys made up for it.

*Kyuss... fucking typos. Kyushu sounds cool as fuck though. Ima have to use that for something.
Idk why my autocorrect even has Kyushu as an option. Is that something already?
Barbaric wasteland with sorcery and a bit of space added.. this is literally perfect.
Needs space pirates. Everything needs space pirates.
warp riders is so great. Such a great driving album
I've been singing this to my newborn son... It's important kids today grow up with a respect for epic metal, especially awesome concept albums like this one :)
Seriously how are these guys not more known? EVERY song as AT LEAST 1 killer riff and solo, plus, every song I've heard, I loved, not even kidding.
These guys BRING IT in concert!
saw them live last night they are wonderful
Thank you Guitar Hero. I heard of these guys through the "Freya" track on GH2, and I haven't looked back. They're so good.
what an album! EVERY song is great. thank you, The Sword! hope to see you back again someday!
Loved it when it came out, still loving it!!! Rock ON!!
this song has been on repeat in my car all summer.
Glad these guys are with Artery and touring everywhere. Anyone else blown away by the new album?
I have seen these boys live. They rock.
amazing song,vid
This album is in and of itself, an ethereal bong.
RIP The Sword. I saw you guys for the first time opening for Clutch and I was blown the fuck away. You broke up less than a year later, however I am forever grateful I got to see you live. For an opening act you guys absolutely nailed it. Thank you.
Maaaan I love this song so much.
And I love how he says "Draw back your arrow, and let it fly - May your aim be straight and true!"
Yussssssssssssss
This video is so campy and awesome. Fits their style so well.
I'm so glad Metallica brought these guys out on tour in '08 so more people discover this band. Thankfully bands like The Sword, DOWN, Mastodon are here to keep hard rock alive and well.
I'm watching this high and it's melting my face with its awesomeness.
Great band "The Sword"....
Lost the faith in rock...and now I believe again !!!!
Cool Band!! Had a chance of seeing them at the Furst Rivercity Rock Fest in San Antonio Tx. Guns & Roses sux that night they were the Main band at that show!! Clutch kick ass !!
This video is sick. Being from a sci-fi concept album I'm seeing shades of Star Wars Episode IV at times. But not the true Star Wars but more of a Tarantino-esq Kill Bill infused version. \m/
Yeah I was hoping for more “Heavy Metal” style or Star Trek TNG gatherers type sci-fi people.
Such a great band!
Gonna see these guys in Austin this coming tuesday!
Inhaling deeply of the sacred smoke, hellyeah! These guys are great, its like the second coming of Black Sabbath.
Perfect Melding of ZZ Top and Black Sabbath
FOKKEN LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!
A strange voice within his mind
From the glowing orb in his hand
Spoke of the properties of certain herbs
Growing wild all across this land
Three witches you shall meet
Along the road to your fate
The first at twilight, the second at night,
And the third at the coming of day
Inhaling deeply of the sacred smoke
Slipping in between the worlds
He beheld a living column of light
And it sang to him without a word
Three witches you shall meet
Upon the path to your fate
The first will love you, the second will deceive you,
And the third will show you the way
Draw back your arrow and let it fly
May your aim be straight and true
Remember all that you have been told
And there might be some hope for you
Three witches you shall meet
Along the road to your fate
The first is twilight, the second is night,
And the third is the coming of day
@metalliman28716 seeing them 2 days in a row. oct .11 in birmingham & oct. 12 in atlanta.havent seen them before. i agree, warp riders is a brilliant piece of work.
The Swords Music Just Gets Better And Better!

Excellent piece of work! Thank you very much for Sharing!

Three witches you shall meet
Upon the path to your fate
The first will love you,
The second will deceive you,
And the third will show you the way
HEAVY METAL ! back to roots !
these guys have rejuvenated the heavy rock taste buds...seriously, if u cant get into the sword there is something upsetting about u.
I know, I own all their cd's. Early shit is death metal, then progressive, but their latest is just rock. They are now currently rock. Which is why is say they keep rock alive, since that's where they've ventured into. They are also played on most rock stations now.

Warp ridersssss!!!!!
Stoner rock is alive!!!
@jonatanseinert i thought this vid was genious lol i loved it.... tell ya what, get high and listen to it again, it will blow your mind
this rocks
A sci fi spaghetti western video, it could be the mojave desert for all I know! I love it!!!
JD looks like frank Zappa
Don't know much about this band, but I did see them up for Motorhead about a year and a half ago. They put on an entertaining show.
If I could describe this in two words: stupid awesome
@joelakastud123 +1 for stating your opinion without being obnoxious or rude about it. And as this is the second song I've heard by this band, I'll be sure to check out their older stuff as well.
She anointed them and they killed her. Gnarly man.
Brujah forever!
Saw these guys in Detroit. Didn’t even really know much but was up front staring at the touring drummer. Guy looked like he played with tree trunks just bashing the fuck out of the kit. Kick ass show. Sound was perfect
This video is fantastic in that "We abused a lot of substances and ran around with swords" kind of way.
Going to see the Sword tonight at Brick by Brick in San Diego!
The video is supposed to be cheesy and amusing. It fits perfectly.
@englandsk8err Trivett and JD went to the same high school, but weren't friends. JD met Kyle through the Sword's original bassist Ben, who was kicked out after their first show and replaced by Bryan. Trivett moved to Austin to be in Funeralizer but quit to do the Sword full-time, which was essentially Ultimate Dragons with a different guitarist.
It keeps things pure and unspoiled by other people
These guys heard rock was dead, and accepted the challenge, then proceeded to climb the mountain and take the castle at the top, rescue the princess, slaying an entire army in the process, and then claimed the castle for their own. Using only THE SWORD.
Ignore the hater. When a band has haters it has officially made it.
These guys' music is as rockin' hot as their hot sauce!
Awesome af vid and song. \m/

Sword is the bomb !

@gericiacchi all ready on my way good sir
This sure is funny, these guys, their katanas and blood spilling, hahaha. I like The Sword, they're a very good metal band. Rock on!
Now I'm all dizzy from headbanging!
SUPER HEAVY
I agree, I was saying they blow
🤘
Please comeback and do shit like this again!
I'll send you a LB of the sweetest Cali cheeba
their newer stuff really isn't as good
STONER TO DEATH!
IT'S PINK RANGER!
These guys need to replace what's being played on the radio......not one mention of "sho-tay"....no clubs or parties.....not even a reference about high school problems........THIS needs to be on the radio!
This song reminds me of the painting "Bruha luna" by Yesi Casanova.
I read your comment as the song starts. I'm like "pfff, it must make some kind of sense" so I watch closesly. The song ends. I realise it made no sense whatsoever. I gave you thumbs up. End of story.
I was kinda shocked when they slit her throat but when they moved past it so quickly it was hard to get upset hahaha
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDDDDDDEEEE FUCKING DOWN \M/ HELL YEAH. I fucking love you man I never hear anyone talking about them outside their related pages man.
video clips pretty sick i will admit.
love the katanas :)
All of their songs kinda sound the same. So , what I am saying is they ALL kick ass!! \m/
@guitarristachileno still they retain that classic 70's edge in their tone and vocals though
