- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
The Sword is a doom/stoner-metal four-piece hailing from ù of all places ù
the singer/songwriter oasis of Austin, TX. First conceived in 2003, the Sword
really hit their stride about a year later, when founding vocalist and
guitarist J. D. Cronise joined forces with guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist
Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo, and made a much raved-over
appearance at AustinÆs famed SXSW festival. National touring stints with
everyone from Clutch to indie rock darlings àAnd You Will Know Us by the
Trail of Dead followed, and by mid-2005 the Sword had been picked up by New
York-based indie label Kemado Records, with their much-anticipated debut
album, Age of Winters, appearing early the next year. Before completing their
second album, they contributed two songs (one original and one Led Zeppelin
cover) to a split 12ö EP with Swedish heavy rockers Witchcraft in November
2007. Gods of the Earth arrived in spring 2008.
