[@johnroush1099]

It's unfortunate that they toned down their heaviness. They're still good today, but they're definitely more of a Western style rock band than a metal band these days.

[@philliptyner8394]

Their sound has evolved as musicians. They are musicians. Classifying them as metal or western rock only takes away from their art. It's ok to have an opinion and like a band's early work better (most groups early stuff is WAY more inspired and just better in my not so humble opinion). I got to say this band is going in a great direction. The music sounds better to me, less raw, but better.

[@Gatopzu]

Came forma the game (MCOC) stay for the music

[@mknomad5]

Heck, Sabbath isn't writing new material like this, so hey, they're continuing the sonic adventure. Some sounds deserve continued exploration after bands have stopped revisiting them for whatever reason.

THE SWORD is the future of METAL ....along time ago in the history of rock there was a band called CAPTAIN BEYOND they were to far ahead of time Lets hope the world isn't to far behind this time. A band like THE SWORD only rises up 3 Times in life one such band was called Captain Beyond the other Led Zepplin you may have herd of them

The Sword is an amazing breath of new metal. I;m so fed up with the so called metal bands these days. Almost all of them rehash the same style and lyrical content or put out some lame cover of a song that should have been left alone. The Sword is sharp and ready.
