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!

[@LocoDirewolf]

djmikio I think that they are the best rock/metal band to come out in decades.

[@rogerross4789]

djmikio Budgie 🤘

[@panzerdragon5888]

You'll LOVE Greta Van Fleet.

[@panzerdragon5888]

Im 15, and budgie is gotta be my third fav band behind The Hollies and Blue Öyster Cult

[@charlesmchoop3007]

Try out good ol' Monster Magnet.

[@BrentLachman]

The Sword's put out some of the best riffs in this past decade. So solid.

[@TubeSpoker]

true ...shame got to know them only today ! ... fucking amazing ... historical

[@jaredcook3376]

100% genuine guitar porn.

[@claytoncolgan2881]

Agreed.

[@F.W.ENDER.75]

Solid

[@aristophanesghost3839]

Heavy.

[@patriciabranson5557]

As a child of the 70s I am digging the Black Sabbath influence!

[@anthonybeck9919]

Check out Fuzz (the band) too

[@jamesadamgleason9471]

Crazy cuz I hate Sabbath... Well OzzMans voice

[@GrowingDank42]

The cowbell made me love this song even more

[@zoecooper3977]

Boyfriend I dated when I was 15 introduced me to this band and that’s the best thing to come out of that 2 year relationship….

[@alanalanis2257]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 CLASSIC!!!!

[@DerStammtischphilosoph]

Where else do you think women get good taste from?

[@nneisler]

Worth every minute

[@jairedatwood7874]

Like the song says... Everything happens as it should

[@mersaultjude]

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.

[@netherjb8566]

i saw them at numbers! my roommate bought us both tickets for my birthday. was such a badass show

[@hoopoverthehill]

Definitely one of the best modern metal bands right now in the industry.

[@Heavywall70]

The fact that this video is TEN YEARS OLD makes me feel like the hermit on the hill when you open Led Zeppelin’s forth album. Man I’ve been a Sword fan for nearly twenty years !

[@patphilosopher]

The Gods of Metal smiles upon these ones !

[@selfcensorship]

They sound like if Mastodon would of happened in the 60s....f'n love it!

[@CamMcHarg]

These guys put on one of the best live shows that I've ever seen last night. Blown away.

[@nixadventures3938]

Wish these guys stayed heavy. But as long as they put out new material I’ll be happy.

[@thesoftparade435]

they'll prolly get back around to it

[@adrianwalker8154]

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.

[@adrianwalker8154]

@@thesoftparade435 One can hope!

[@mlgman]

I know what you mean! Gods of the Earth is my favorite album and their new stuff just isn’t the same. Not bad by any means, just different. I just saw them live back in May and they absolutely rocked, playing their earlier heavy stuff. The Sword rules!

[@brianshell4111]

The sword is one of few bands that you can just put on and before you know it you have listened to everything, every song every album. I had a painter who worked for me I didn't care for him but the sword is one thing I'm glad he brought with him

[@treavorrichards1900]

Hell yeah…Im a painter and I jam to the sword at work..but im good at my job.

[@ciscornBIG]

@@treavorrichards1900 \m/

[@dgundo]

Hey, I did not like working for you either :P jk - my customers are happy

[@mcfluy4233]

Just started listening to The Sword and these guys ROCK!!!!

[@mlgman]

Hell yeah! My favorite band!

[@kemasaziz2570]

The most underrated band ever, they deserve more recognition from the world

[@felixmarques]

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.

[@benluther1824]

thos album and a live show had me fall in love with the sword. so sad they're going seperate ways. such a cool sound

[@dangerrrnick5005]

Wait. They’re done?

[@psyssi]

Exactly, I feel like it's an amazing old genre of metal being brought back.

[@kaboulscabal4816]

I'd forgotten how hard this song rocks. Now I remember. Carry on ...

[@shootermcgavin398]

Rip the sword, saw you live with primus last year it was so sick

[@Bronydom22]

ARGH! I CAN'T MAKE THIS LOUD ENOUGH!

[@Helmholtzwatson1984]

The music reminds of the far away places of the Edgar Rice Burroughs multiverse.

[@orenfriedman9031]

The Sword opened with this song tonight in Brooklyn, NY. Such a great sound, awesome show.

[@user-nk8ww9ce9k]

Live by the Sword. Die by the Sword.

[@StevenBatis-eh7gs]

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.

[@kevinwoolner954]

Love this track , pure old school heavy rock , Awesome 👏

[@necrobrewer838]

RIP a great F'n band

[@BrandonTheProBro]

Well after listening to this and dying earth. You now have a fan for life.

[@SourGunProductions]

Fuuuuck yeah! This band is amazing. Wish I could’ve seen them live

[@Kekkeyu]

Sounds like the band Wolfmother never had the balls to be Love it!

[@OsceolaAnonymous]

One of the best bands in the world, not known to the world

[@hamebone1670]

I just came across this band.... They impress me more more each song.. They play tight.... Wicked band

[@PTBARNUM56]

I've seen them 5 or 6 times now live and what makes me enjoy them even more is the fact that they sound just like this live. Another great album and one of my favorite songs of theirs. 49 plays on my iTunes playlist just on my computer. Not even counting the car...

[@bignicktex]

Can't wait to see these guys Sunday. They're the best!

[@PjKneisel]

listened to this album on my flight back home from the UK, fucking awesome

[@ElliottCustomLures]

Heard this for the first time tonight... The Sword is now in rotation.

[@scottray666]

I miss these guys EVERY... FUCKING... TIME they come to my town! Dammit!

[@therionkp36]

saw this band last week in L.A. opening for Opeth, pretty good music.

[@colemartin7804]

This video gave me some good costume ideas for wasteland weekend...But Iron Swan and Freya are 2 of my favorite songs from these guys...

[@cocodrilo1313]

What a great fucking band... Awesome sound... The cd is great... Saludos desde Puerto Rico!

[@Despondencymusic]

Raven- Harbinger of Death Owl- Predator Dove - Elegance Peacock - Engaging Beauty Swan - Grace Sparrow - Lust of Aphrodite A fucking lethal combination.

[@Despondencymusic]

@Scott Alleman NICE! 😎

[@adrianwalker8154]

This song has been my phones ringtone on and off for over five years. \m/ Long live The Sword! \m/

[@juanenorse]

one of my new fav bands

[@Doomdougie]

Saw these guys in Tulsa they had me banging my head and tapping my foot at the same time , these guys just rock

[@KirkAshley]

Fuck yes this song has saved my faith in music again

[@rusty418]

Loved everything these dudes did!

[@zb7799]

Just found this band, and at the same time found out they have already split up. How said to have missed this journey, but happy to have found them none the less.

[@LouGruff]

Love it. New favorite band.

[@BRANFED]

yea.. ive been listening to all of their albums.. all are consistently good.. Even had to learn a few songs by them..

[@grrrrsty]

Yo! I could swear that's where Captain Kirk fought that lizard dude!!

[@TheJayrockerr]

Good observation. They are called Vasquez Rocks. A couple of Star Trek episodes were filmed up there. Along with, quite a few movies and other television shows.

[@anthonyspitery6332]

2:51 even looks like the cliff spot where that boulder was that he pushed over to kill the lizard

[@fkninmatt]

hahahahahahaha!

One of the best albums and the best bands of all time.

[@funktavious]

Been listening to them for a while. Finally got a chance to see them Saturday night in Savannah with Kyng. Great show!

[@frozenmeatstick2459]

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

[@GunslingerUK]

Love this band, when I discovered them 3 years ago they still have that punash!
