ApeOfJustice :
Cool had no idea they had a second album out. I'll probably get it when I go into town, loved the first album.

Just finished listening to it. It is quite retro sounding but still weirdly sounds original, one of the best albums of the year so far methinks!

Also is 'The Frost-Giant's Daughter' a Conan song? I wouldn't be surprised.

Travlembo :
and how can you give a 9 on sound an 8 on lyrics/vocals and give it a 10... what else are you considering? historical significance?

qotsa1998 :
Awesome band. They do sound alot like Sabbath, and the vocalist has an Ozzy-like voice. Im definately gonna go pick up this and their first album sometime soon.

ApeOfJustice :
Travlembo he only gave it a 10 for 'impression', which doesn't really conflict with what he wrote.
Got the album to day and it is lightyears ahead of their last one. I was expecting an 'Age of Winters' part 2 but instead I got a comparatively very varied album, much cleaner produced as well. Love the fact that they have George RR Martin references in there too.

ShrimpthePimp :
dude, they stepped up their game so much from their last CD, and their alot more metal.
Awesome riffs too!

Shredder Guitar :
lol i didnt know they even released a new album..The Sword have a great sound..They sound so much like their influences yet manage to have an identity of their own. Genius.

metalhead_99801 :
so far, i think i like the first album better, but it may grow on me. i just never think they'll top Iron Swan.

StratSlinger421 :
This album does NOT disappoint at all. I really like Cronise's voice over the screamo style predominantly heard in metal today, but thats just me. If youre like me, and you love huge gnarly riffs but not the abrasiveness of the cookie monster style vocals of most metal bands, this band is totally for you. Check out the first album too. So many killer headbanging moments. \m/ METAL \m/

Alpha Guru :
Great album. Really proves that the band is getting better. Although I'm pretty sure that the song To Take the Black is based off of a series of books by George R. R. Martin.

If only the sound quality was better, these guys would kick more ass than they already do.

RMM82 :
I had never listened to this band until this album, and man is it awesome. Old school Black Sabbath stoner metal meant to make you bang your head with a beer in one hand and a blunt in the other! My only complaint is they way the cymbals are mixed, they are waaaaay too prominent in the mix! I can understand the old-school vibe they were going for with this sound, but man is it painful on a pair of headphones.
