Stage 81: S/D thread

Just watching the Hellfest Vimeo. I don't understand all the hate towards The Sword.

I saw them open up for clutch last week and it was the first time I'd heard any of their music. I thought it was pretty good, better than i expected. I think i would have liked it better if they had been in a smaller place but it was enjoyable.

I think they got a lot of backlash because they were so young and got popular so fast, when a lot of people have been playing similar music for years with no success.
