The Sword - Apocryphon (Lyric Video)

[@butasoffroad]

Bringing back Hard Rock and classic Heavy Metal. Overdose of Gibson riffs. Magnific band.

[@Adamizer702]

Those riffs are just. so. HUGE, how is this even possible?

[@bubbaboo15]

its like a modern day black sabbath

[@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.

[@hescher997]

I love the writing. These songs are all excellently done. Very intelligent. And those riffs... Any Sword is good Sword

[@wesleyfilms]

I was reading the Gospel of Judus and Apocryphon of John and found this sound. Amazing that the Sword made a song about gnosis.

[@AggromanLives]

Absolutely. That riff from Dying Earth is monstrous.

[@johanneszeiler2380]

All hail THE SWORD!!!

[@earlnuclear]

This is great, good to see this guys still pushing boundaries of their sound.

[@SuperHeavymetal11]

Intro late "Johnny Blade" Sabbath....digging the chorus man ringing in my head.....chopping a forest down with those riffs...then again trippy early eighties musiconica end with the heavy and hair raising chorus!!! Excellent!!!

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
