@@Jagger-Tyr_13 you really don't pay attention at all to what candidates or their supporters actually say, do you? Trump was the most anti-war president we've had since maybe Carter. Meanwhile, the Democrats have created absolute chaos in the Middle East by knocking over just about every country that they could. Not to mention starting a new Cold War with Russia. I don't care what news you watch, just watch something. Even people brainwashed by MSNBC and CNN aren't this ignorant.
This should 've been in the Fallout 3 soundtrack as some kind of secret heavy metal radio station run by the Raiders... That would've been so kickass...
well guys I'm 43 and an "old" metal head and all I can say is that these guys ROCK - so tired of the cookie monster/screaming vocals of so many new bands --- THE SWORD knows what heavy metal is all about. They are the future of metal and it's a good one - the roots are in the PAST - they even use classic gear. Awesome!
have you seen movies? are you from the post apocalyptic future that this video is in and you've ever seen movies on film reels by candlelight like that guy at the beginning? This is gloriously bad.
@@CalindaSharisse this is like emulated 80's metal aesthetic bad, but in the best way. I love it. Admit it, if you were listening to Black Sabbath etc back then and you saw this music video, you'd be losing your mind 😂
Awesome homage to 'Heavy Metal' the cinematic cartoon , here in this video. Wouldn't expect anything less from the coolest bunch of fella's in metal \m/
I found it more of an homage to Ralph Bakshi, personally & would love to see The Sword collaborate with him on a feature-length animated film in the same vein as Wizards...
Been listening to these guys on Pandora for years. Never thought to see if they had anything on UA-cam. Doh! If I was smart I wouldn't work construction.
only a select few could view whats in the box (without being charged by the contents)..a partical excelerator is needed for the next phase... lol awesome video much class!! starwars meets dune meets the exodus meets..the flux capacitor.. (as in could b yesterday or 1000 years).. either way awesome video and well put together.. been a while since i first viewed it.. but it hasn't lost its shine yet..
@EyeOnTheTV I had to come back here and say you weren't wrong. Got the album last week. It is HEAVY. Nice little hidden variation of a track at the end as well.
man all these people hating the band... i just heard them an i love there old school tone. people who hate are fools, just leave it alone. if you people ranted about every single sound you don't like you'd probebly pass out from the lack of air. please give it a rest. for all our sakes.
I'm getting more addicted to these guys everyday! They're keeping so much shit alive through their own stuff it's unreal. And to this guy who says all there songs sound too much alike. Dude, how many great bands can be accused of this? Be serious. Who cares! If metal and great rock n' roll are going to continue to survive great bands like this are going to be a big part of it!
@JonnyMonster91 I agree, but I found back in my mind an analogy with sound of Entombed on album Inferno. I know that this is pure coincidence but it's interesting.
hellsoul0 After seeing your post, I listened to a few of the new tracks & they're awesome. Just not the thrash-throwback material form the first 2 records... the ages old metalhead gripe. Thanks again man!
+Warrior Poet The main riff to their new song "Empty Temples" got stuck in my head for days after I first heard it. I even heard it when I was trying to go to sleep! It's very Sabbath sounding with some Thin Lizzy thrown in.
Holy fuck this song is amazing. Video gives me goosebumps. True to form for The Sword, both the video and song leave me wanting more from the epic tales they tell
After nearly two decades of being a metalhead, in 2008, after listening to Age of Winters (and liking it), I took a break. Today, I look up The Sword to check the material I missed and . . . HOLEY CRAP, they've improved their sound tremendously. I had to rewind the vid at least seven times, snapping my neck in disbelief, in order to believe it was the same band. The video, the tune. Awesome made manifest. I love pure Doom. But, man, this tune is RAW. I'm buying the album.
This is some bad ass, old school shit. It reminds me of when I first got into metal, listening to Paranoid by Sabbath and thinking it was completely epic. The video is hardcore too, I love the concept.
We've crossed the burning wastelands Sought out forgotten tombs Within this shattered planet Beneath a broken moon We live amongst the ruins Where cities once did rise From graves of fallen nations Watch hollow eyes In our time we have seen Untold pain and suffering Our legends tell of weapons Wielded by kings of old Crafted by evil wizards Unholy to behold We seek the fire lances That slew the ancient race The world where they were masters Now lays in waste In your time you shall see Endless death and misery Invoke myth and prophecy All you know shall cease to be
@jdavidson091 What a great FOKKEN show, both John(JD) and Bryan were wearing RUSH t-shirts.I was in front about 5 feet away from Bryan. The openers were VERY GOOD. Mount Carmel was very much like Mountain and ZZ Top Their drummer sounded very much like the late Mitch Mitchell. Karma to Burn VERY LOUD and EXTREMELY HEAVY, their drummer equally good, looked like he just came out of a hippie commune. Their singer/guitarist is the son of Dave Davies(Davis) of THE KINKS. GREAT GREAT FOKKEN SHOW
@helterskelter1178 on the 23rd in Chicago. Its their last US stop for that tour... Haven't seen them yet so I'm stoked! Warp riders is very *meh* compared to Gods of the Earth in my opinion, but it looks like they've played a lot of heavy old stuff lately. 2 days from now! Wish I was seeing them this weekend. lucky...
Fantastic use of rotoscope for depicting a tripped out sci-fi ballad! Great song, the video compliments it perfectly. But where have I seen an Elk with burning antlers before? It seems so familiar.
@OldWorldAmerican I thought the same. maybe isn't the elk with burning antlers, but just the Elk. you'll see, the elk looks pretty much like an scene of bambi i think, and yeah, it sounds funny, but the scene of that movie with an elk it's so creepy that it stays in my memorie till now, cos i use to watch the movie with mi little sister when it came up.
@MetalHeadTin Totally! In fact I'd go so far as to say I far prefer this singing over the screamo and growl vocals that dominate the metal scene now. It's good to see a band put musicality in front of the presumption that sounding like you have serious bowel problems or you're being repeatedly stabbed is more metal. Go The Sword!
All hail The Sword! Saw them in Bucharest, and I instantly started to bang my head, despite teh f*cking rain. Too bad I was not very close to the stage :(. Sword rules!
@EyeOnTheTV Yeah, I've heard about the new material. I believe one of the band members touts it as having a sci-fi theme. Haven't heard anything of it yet, though, as I'm concentrating on the stuff I missed for now. I honestly didn't think album 1 to album 2 would bring much change. On the production on the approaching 3rd: well see. But already witnessing many new, potentially legendary bands, altering their mixing tech for some inexplicable reason (not just in metal), I wouldn't say "lies!"
decent video. Amazing song. I've loved The Sword since I first heard them. I always will. I think they're every bit as Good as Led Zep and Sabbath. They definitely have their own sound.

Fk video games.
@@dont.ripfuller6587huh
@@dont.ripfuller6587 cool it dude.
DUDE! Love the "Wizards"/"Heavy Metal" feel to this video! Awesome rotoscoping! LONG LIVE METAL!

They are the future of metal and it's a good one - the roots are in the PAST - they even use classic gear. Awesome!
Was initially surprised to see the Bakshi LOTR style rotoscoping here, but it just works so damn well.
Easily one of the BEST and most visually STUNNING videos that I've ever had the good fortune to see! It fits very well with the song too!
have you seen movies? are you from the post apocalyptic future that this video is in and you've ever seen movies on film reels by candlelight like that guy at the beginning? This is gloriously bad.
To each his or her own...
i did say it was gloriously bad. it isn't unwatchable. this is like.. bad in just the right amount so it is enjoyable to watch.

Easily one of my favorite songs from these guys.
Probably their heaviest riff too. Makes me want to mosh
How fuckin cool... just found the best music video of all time
Not only was that song awesome, Whoever made this video is a visual genius!

absolutely amazing. incredible riffs, great drumming. full of energy. this is the shit.
Badasssssssss. We're proud to know you, Mike & Josh. Killer video.
Reminds me of that movie "heavy metal" from the 80's... Love these guys!
Tyler Porter nice pic devil up
saw them live this past summer, such an awesome band!!
Such an awesome video.
@EyeOnTheTV I had to come back here and say you weren't wrong. Got the album last week. It is HEAVY. Nice little hidden variation of a track at the end as well.
These guys are the embodiment of all that is awesome and kickass about hard rock/metal. I just might have a new favorite band.
I'm just glancing over these posts cause I'm too busy watching an AWESOME VIDEO! Can't wait for their third album!
man all these people hating the band... i just heard them an i love there old school tone. people who hate are fools, just leave it alone. if you people ranted about every single sound you don't like you'd probebly pass out from the lack of air. please give it a rest. for all our sakes.
Indeed. Really cool video.
This is probably the best music video i have ever seen.
i knew the song way before the clip.. the song is amazing but the clip just blew my mind!
so awesome!! 5/5!
saw them yesterday live...great sound great music...
Great video. This band's new album is sick too. Hoping to catch them on tour this winter.

Love the production on this record
the most best music video ever to be seen !
I want this song in the Mad Max: Furiosa movie.
Epic video
Awesome song
Epicly Awesome band!
BRILLIANT
perhaps the finest moment for the sword
I have loved this song since 2008! The Sword create great albums! They are great artists and I support them fully!
that was the single greatest thing ive ever seen.
i love the style its like the old cartoon lotr movie.
Great Clip, Great Band. Bring on the 3rd Album!
I want more ! This band cranks. Well worth a listen.
@JonnyMonster91 I agree, but I found back in my mind an analogy with sound of Entombed on album Inferno. I know that this is pure coincidence but it's interesting.
what a strrange video. i love the sword
awsome. hopefully the next video continues where this one left off
The guy with the axes at the end basically stopped a nother nuke from launching.
It looks like they're carrying the arc of the covenant. Awesome stuff
What a wicked vid.
Simply Amazing! This video is like Heavy Metal(the movie) on DMT.....
Fuckin' brilliant! They have a new album coming out this week!
+James K. didn't know that man, thanks! I'm stoked as fuck!!!!!!

how come everyone keeps hatin on this band? classic 'real' heavy metal, total pentagram vocal style, love it!!

We've crossed the burning wastelands
Sought out forgotten tombs
Within this shattered planet
Beneath a broken moon
We live amongst the ruins
Where cities once did rise
From graves of fallen nations
Watch hollow eyes
In our time we have seen
Untold pain and suffering
Our legends tell of weapons
Wielded by kings of old
Crafted by evil wizards
Unholy to behold
We seek the fire lances
That slew the ancient race
The world where they were masters
Now lays in waste
In your time you shall see
Endless death and misery
Invoke myth and prophecy
All you know shall cease to be
First time hearing this song and I couldn't stop headbanging
God damn this video reminds me so much of Heavy Metal. So much so, I'm going to watch it now lol
This song completely captures the imagination.
A master piece.
Nuff said.

I'd love to see a fan video using footage from Wizards.
@menekali2 but look at it like this, you get a whole bunch of brand new cds to listen to all at once. Lucky!

Cant believes they're over now. RIP the sword
