YES! YES! YES!

I recommend The Sword every chance I get.

I believe they're coming to Detroit in May!

Both of their albums are great.

I think The Sword is my least favorite post-2000 "stoner rock" (worst genre tag ever) band.


That said, I'd still check 'em out if the tickets were cheap!

Sure they sound cool and everything, but IMO they're pretty much just a better produced Black Sabbath with a better singer.

Nothing wrong with that. They're much better than the crap that's been playing on the radio for the past few years.

i think Black Sabbath + Spinal Tap = The Sword, personally.

tickets in L.A. were cheap (until ticketmurder stepped in with their "convenience" charges, that is) and definitely worth it.

and... please feel free to suggest more bands for me to check out that are in the same vein. i'm always up for a little horizon expansion, y'know?

...Well I saw them last night. It was one of the best shows I've ever attended. The Magic Stick is a really great place to catch bands. I hope they come back soon!

I think that's why I like them so much...

Hope they come to Toronto. Anyone hear their new(ish) record yet? I haven't had the chance. What's it like?

The new songs are on their MySpace. Gods of the Earth is faster and less "massive" IMHO... But it is good material for a concert.

obviously, you missed the title of the thread, which clearly negates your post.
