Festival in London
The Sword will be supporting Ozzy Osbourne at the iTunes Music Festival
taking place at the Roundhouse in London on July 3rd.

The band are also in town for their recently announced initimate headline
show at the Camden Barfly on July 5th that has now Sold Out.
One of the foundations of the metal revival of the past ten years, Austin
TX's The Sword have released two flawless slabs of vintage heaviness on
Kemado Records, toured the world with Metallica, and were honored to grace
the past three editions of Guitar Hero. This summer, the band casts its gaze
to the stars for Warp Riders, their third full-length and their most
ambitious effort to date. Hitting stores on August 23rd via Kemado Records,
it is the band's first concept album and is fittingly grand in scope both
lyrically and in terms of musical craftsmanship.
This also marks the first release where the group has worked with an outside
producer. Helmed by Matt Bayles (Pearl Jam, Mastodon, Isis), Warp Riders is
anchored by an epic science-fiction narrative. The storyline is a
psychedelic space opera that explores temporal themes of death and rebirth.
Everything you've loved about The Sword in the past has been magnified,
amplified, boosted and gnarlified. Warp Riders is the most accurately
realized effort by the band yet, a tribute to comic books, dimestore sci-fi
paperbacks, the legacy of FM rock radio, and the all-consuming power of
heavy metal.

We should have some images and reviews up by tomorrow so keep checking back. The site is going to change over the next week for the better, so its easier to navigate and so there is more content for you.
Anyone who would like to write reviews or take photos for us should contact us via the contact form found in the main menu.
