The 5th installment of Conquest of Quarantine! Subscribe and stay tuned for more lockdown session performances coming soon.
The Sword’s new compilations, Chronology: 2006 - 2018 and Conquest of Kingdoms, both released last year, each showcase the riff-heavy and far-reaching metal that the band has been known for since forming 15 years ago.
Conquest of Kingdoms, an explosive three-disc vinyl collection of rarities and oddities, offers 30 tracks (16 previously unreleased) and is housed in a triple-gatefold package, including B-sides, oddities and live recordings of fan favorites like “Freya,” “Iron Swan” and “Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians,” as well as cover versions of “Immigrant Song” (Led Zeppelin), “Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings” (ZZ Top), “She” (KISS), “Forever My Queen” (Pentagram) and more. A truncated digital version is also available.
Chronology: 2006-2018 is a three-disc CD compendium, which - in addition to the aforementioned rarities - also includes The Sword’s greatest hits and fan favorites. Distilling the band's complete discography, this collection comprises 52 tracks (12 previously unreleased), including the studio recordings of “Freya,” “Iron Swan,” “Cloak of Feathers” and “Deadly Nightshade.” The set also features expansive new liner notes with contributions from the band, plus Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Mark Morton (Lamb of God) and Neil Fallon (Clutch).

This man can write some absolutely brutal lyrics that hit you as if theyre from the demiurge herself

[@harryharland6217]

Wow this was the first song I learned by ear, like ever.

[@shaynola1]

FUCKING SAME

[@greyleaf]

Keep it up! Learning by ear takes a lot of patience and practice, but the more you do it and familiarize yourself with certain riffs, progressions, and intervals, the easier it becomes.

[@obsessedwithguitars3157]

This song was killer on the Apocryphon tour, the audience went nuts. It was like standing in a wood chipper, unbelievable energy from the crowd.

[@keylargocomics3698]

Favorite band of all time. Thank you for these videos!!!

[@natelogos7662]

I'm so glad you guys are playing together again. If you record a new album I'll gladly plop down $150 to preorder the bundle.

[@brainjellyTV]

Reverend guitars have excellent tones!

[@traileater]

Superb

Hell yeah! Please make a Conquest of Quarantine compilation album!!

Its really awesome that you guys are doing these videos. Im hoping that you’ll do “Buzzards” soon.

[@ScottRay77]

God I love this band.Good old Meat and potatoes style metal like Sabbath. wish I could have seen them in concert at least once. Hopefully they'll get back together someday so I can

[@williamdodd1207]

These guys are the best metal band currently producing music.

[@graysonc8154]

I like to imagine Kyle' solo as the alien mothership's death beam. 👽💀

[@romanparkersdad]

I wish I could hit the thumbs up a couple more times.

[@thebreatheeasy]

Fellas you are not disappointing. For the love of all that rocks. Keep it up!

[@phantomspcmn]

One of my favorites off of Apocryphon!

[@lucyfersdaemon7062]

Loved this band for years!!! So devastated I missed them on knotfest 2015 😭. Still need to see them live and stoned outta my mind 🥴

[@matthewmcfadden285]

Love seeing this! Can’t wait to see y’all live again.

[@purefites]

Y'all have never sounded better. This is just amazing and can't wait to see you all on tour.

[@ludacrispyy780]

You guys have been shredding on all of these. I really hope you do your cover of "She" in one of these videos.

[@BulletmanDoom]

When we inevitably make contact with another world outside our little home planet, do you think they'll have music like this?

[@fivedogsranch9288]

[@matthewspiegl1579]

Learned this on rocksmith a couple years ago! Still one of my favorites to play.

[@purefites]

The sword is on Rocksmith?!

[@matthewspiegl1579]

@@purefites its a CDLC. So its not in the game. You download it from customs forge and import it into the game

[@purefites]

@@matthewspiegl1579 That makes sense. Been trying to do that with my Rock band 3 on PS3.

Bryan needs to take that bass on the road!!!

[@centurionmusic11]

That strat looks like it's a Warmoth, am i right?? Edit: That's meant seriously not sarcastically lol my b.

[@johnunderhill9666]

It definitely has a Partscaster look, interesting to combine that neck with binding to a classic Strat style body. Quite the mash up

[@brockmarquis8511]

Most excellent. Im curious, this pad belongs to which one of you guys? Austin area presumably. Masters, one of my favorites and really sounds great here. Crisp and clear.

[@sw0rdl1ve]

Thanks man! I recorded Kyle, Jimmy and I out in Taylor, TX.

[@brockmarquis8511]

@@sw0rdl1ve that's cool. Im a big fan. From Alabama. Love you guys music and I promote it to everyone around me since discovering back in 2012. Keep up the great work. Much appreciated.

[@natelogos7662]

I'm curious, how do you play together long distance without latency?

[@joshuapitz4906]

I believe they are all playing to a click track.. but I could be wrong

[@sw0rdl1ve]

Jimmy, Kyle and I recorded together with a click, I mix that and send it to JD who then records his bits and then emails them all to me to integrate.

[@skyrat3816]

How was the timing regarding everyones' internet speeds and is this a live online performance? For a good while been wondering if a live session or gig was possible online, but is the question of someone lagging or having a delay and timing going out of sync.

[@sw0rdl1ve]

Luckiky we didn't have to worry about that but I can only imagine that being a nightmare hah!

[@skyrat3816]

Nice one, have to say you's are doing a Stirling job. Donno about anyone else but I'm deffo missing gigs and would be ace to even catch an open mic sesh at a local pub. As it stands at the moment seems playing online could be the way to go despite possible connection hiccups.

[@jdt367]

Hey Kyle, what model Reverend is that?

tuning?

[@garyholland403]

C standard (standard tuning down 2 whole steps)

[@home37]

Whoa! That bass player's intense. Hey Butthead, this video has more edits than an Iron Maiden video. Well, whatever it's called when the camera keeps jumping to a different thing every 2 seconds. That doesn't need to happen when you can just put all 4 guys in their own corner.
