    I was a 70's kid and grew up on Budgie, Hawkwind, Nazareth, Captain Beyond, etc. I just did not think that anyone wrote and played this kind of music with that kind of power anymore. So glad to have been dead wrong. This band rocks my world!

    I saw this phenomenal band at the Houston - House of Blues on May 25, 2013. I had not been blown away by a band/artist since Hank 3 in 2003. This band just blew me away. I believe they are still making repairs to the House of Blues after their set. Amazing. Phenomenal band.

      I feel you. Their newer stuff is still good, IMO, just in a different way. But I do miss that heavy POWER they used to have. Listening to Gods of The Earth and Age of Winters is like getting smacked in the face with electric guitars while getting punched in the gut with riffs made of steel and stone.

    This is how you mix drums well. Let them hit properly. Drums get too buried by the mix in many metal songs. It's not enough to feel the hits, having the full detail does wonders.

    She wore a cloak of feathers
    And rode a mare of purest white
    A silver chalice in her hand
    A look of sadness in her eyes
    A thing of beauty to behold
    But a sorrow to possess
    She’ll take all that you offer
    Until there’s nothing left
    Nothing left
    Face hidden in shadow
    Beneath a hood of quills
    The pinions of her raiment
    Conceal all her ills
    Beneath her cloak of feathers
    Lies a body soft and fine
    Eyes of hazel green
    Flowing hair as dark as wine
    A thing of beauty to remember
    But a sorrow to forget
    She took all that I gave her
    Till there was nothing left
    Nothing left
    Of owl and of raven
    Of peacock and dove
    Of swan and of sparrow
    Woven with her love
    Face hidden in shadow
    Beneath a hood of quills
    The pinions of her raiment
    Conceal all her ills

    Old school Gen X here.
    I stopped seeking new music around the time this band came out…
    I saw them open for Clutch in ‘06. Had a good jam but didn’t seek them out afterwards.
    Now, so many years later I happened upon them again.
    I can hear so many influences in their style but they still have their own sound (Clutch is the same way).
    Really getting into their music and figuring out how to play some of their riffs.
    Very cool band and a great breath of music fresh air.

    Ive seen them at least 5 times, twice with the American Sharks (I highly recommend checking them out for thundering up tempo punk-metal fusion, they're also really cool guys). The cherry on top is their drummer. He makes a 3 piece drum kit with only a high hat and crash sound like one of the crazy 80s arena kits. I swear Animal from the muppets is his father! His drumming is a blast just to watch let alone hear. I agree that The Sword picked up where Sabbath left off. They're not a copy, but they definitely vamp badass riffs in a similar way. Awesome band!!
