Awesome , found the band right after their first release on Kemado Records , Age of Winters. Great riffs and lyrics inspired by the great early sword and sorcery works by authors like Robert E. Howard , this comes straight from the Conan story Beyond the Black River. Epic band , music and inspirations !
For some reason this whole video, the song and look of the players, reminds of the ram Jam video for black betty. Only more modernized. It's just badass
Friedfish Ruff that's Kevin fender...he was actually only in the band for a short while as a temporary fill-in for trivett after he left mid-tour. Kevin didn't actually write any of the songs but he definitely gets mad respect for jumping in last minute and learning a bunch of tough songs. you should check out the current drummer, Jimmy vela, he's the best out of all 3.
I saw them live in Covington, KY in 2010 with Kevin Fender on drums when he was temporarily with them in a small bar that held about 50 people. They had Karma To Burn and Mount Carmel with them at I got in and was only 16 at the time.... he was such a standout player, really caught the vibe and was a beast. A huge memory for me.
Sad this band is on hiatus due to a lack of turnout at shows. They don't seem to get that their horrible decision to change their sound on the last two albums has driven fans away. THIS is the Sword we want, not that bullsh!t that they've given us on the last two records.
I disagree. I really liked the last album ( not the acoustic one) there was some killer songs on it. Yes there was some garbage also but as a musician u have to make the music u feel. If you're crowd doesn't like it then u can always change. The biggest bands in the world always mix it up.
these guys rock. Hope the hiatus doesn't last too long and comes back with material like this!
:(
This is one of the finest metal compositions of all time. Lyrically perfect, musically sublime
Come back to this vid often. Thanks whoever you are and much love.
Thanks, i think i have one more video that i never uploaded from this show that i should find. This is def the best though.
great version. Kyle is such a rock star
Probably the hardest and heaviest song they ever recorded! I hope they put out more shit like this in the near future.
i dont see that happening....last album puts me to sleep. loved high country but last one was just too quiet
@@buckfuttler2877 plus they're on hiatus now
yeah i did 2. hate 2 tell u but i just read today that they are breaking up.per JD on the official sword web site.im vrry bummed
I had never heard of them prior to seeing them open for Metallica and now am a fan. They put on an amazing set.
That guitarist knows how to play a fucking guitar and look badass while doing it. I strive to be that cool haha
This blows my balls right off... EPIC! I love /like the new stuff too, but this and the first 3-4 albums is just beyond perfect!

Love these guys!😆 great footage too
I would love to hear this live! Its so good!
for being live I think this is mixed well. I can hear the bass which is wonderful

badassest band of the 21st century, mark.
fantastic song and great chemistry
them guys are on it man !
The guy on the left is in the fuckin zone. Bravo
Great version... I dig that drummer a lot - he's a heavy hitter. And he knows were to slow down to make it even heavier.

Makes me love the instrumental version, where they don’t sing ever
One person does not have a coin to pay for the passage.
Someone stepped on a dog at the end of the video lmao
That audience should be worn TF out
J.D. Cronise needs to grow his hair a little longer. He looks like fucking Randy Marsh like that. Dork!
