The Sword - Night City [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

The final installment of the Warp Riders Trilogy. Directed by Artificial Army and featuring Esteban Powell, best know for his role as Carl in the classic Dazed and Confused.

[@ghostburgers4284]

This song hasn't aged at all. Still as badass as when I first heard it.

[@oldmanstillcan]

Feeling the same way in 2023.

[@ryanm5317]

This has such an instant-classic feel, when I first heard it I thought it was a cover.

[@brycemiller2678]

I like the part where they melted my face off.

[@fourcrippledhorses]

0:00 - 4:10 is also my favorite part

[@F.W.ENDER.75]

Me too

[@mitchs2148]

Will forever love and listen to the Sword.

[@Pifeinator]

Such an under rated band.. i've been listening to these guys for over a decade and thier music still makes my head move

[@chrisyoung8308]

How I miss all those Night Cities of my glory days, this beat has always been there.

[@ridleyrage5283]

And always will, never forget that

[@ott1887]

Damned sure this band is highly overlooked in my opinion, has an old school sound I really dig.

[@hendyj89]

Yeah its called Black Sabbath 🤘

[@MstrBates-tz1hi]

Some Thin Lizzy in there 🤘

[@ShadHernandez]

The Sword kicks so much ass. Carry on.

[@GrimReefer]

The perfect amount of Cowbell

[@colinmcfarland3515]

I think it needs a little more cowbell

[@jobsmith4009]

Grim Reefer That's called a ride son

[@jackc9175]

It really is...

[@tiagoandrade9010]

I tell you onething fellas': rock n' roll's not dead! =)

[@stofosaurus]

I get some early Hellacopters vibes from this. Love it.

[@thegayone9968]

I just found a warp riders cd at a record store by my house, first time I've ever heard of the sword. This is now my favorite song.

[@thegayone9968]

Also the night side reminds me of a mixture between Moscow and las vegas

[@jasoncoker1625]

🤘💯💜

[@KnightsInSatansService]

I play this loud af every time I go to Golden Corral

[@md_free85]

Best band out in the last 15 years. Maybe one of the best of all time. I place them in a league with Sabath. The original Black Metal Kings.

[@triptoheaveandho]

this band rocks for real. love them

[@rongriffith625]

This shit still smacks, son.

[@fenrirragnarock6083]

I love this Band

[@BellinghamBros]

First a Mockingbird, then a Les Paul, now an Iceman?! Jesus, that's a loot of different guitars.

[@MikeDukes1973]

No need for nocturnal emissions in Night City baby. We comin' all night long!

[@PickOfDestiny89]

Their best song! I love it!

[@B3LTRAN89]

old school metal....in the new age..EPIC

[@GRILLBUOY101]

yes this just has that groove 2 it more than the other albums.yes i love the sabbs and the style of Sabbs alot but so far this is my fav.

[@FeastOvGoreglutton]

3:28 words cannot describe this neck breaking, throat strangling, eye puncturing, spine twisting, brain traumatizing, genital mutilating motherfucking goddamn riff.

[@kevingordon669]

HA! It's like this in every fucking one of their songs!

[@FeastOvGoreglutton]

Kevin Gordon They have a bare minimum of 2 filthy riffs in every song.

[@colinmcfarland3515]

There's also a solo in pretty much every one of their songs

[@kevingordon669]

I seen them in San Antonio a few months ago man they fucking brought it! Very talented band for sure \m/

[@cutlass206]

And the part with the guitar was good :)

[@magneto44]

my favorite song on the album.....not to mention, one of the best rock songs I've heard in a long time

[@GodJesusandTheHolySpirit]

This song is freaking amazing! The music video is really, really amazing too!

[@mightymrmousempls]

Probably top 5 best songs for me period.

[@Wes1487]

Been playing some Sword guitar riffs even in small doses these riffs are awesome!

[@amirrezvani_]

hate to point out the elephant in the room but this is the music the Swords fans miss the most, they really did switch up the sound the last two albums and it didnt sound bad but this just sounds wayyy better

[@tylercooper1551]

I 100% agree. But I do trust they'll find this sound again, eventually. All bands seem to go through a minor rut I suppose

[@KandiKlover]

This is my favorite album too. I don’t really listen to their newer stuff. Lots of bands lose their touch becoming too commercial.

[@kevinwillems8720]

This album was the transition to those next 2 albums.

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

IT"S THAT DAMN ASAIN CHICK AGAIN!! I used to see her in dreams. Now I've seen her in two Sword videos!!

[@vladvampirelord8910]

Asian.

[@dak4465]

This song and lawless lands are my favorite

[@blsfan1973]

It's sucks these guys are done ... man they had such a fucking smooth groove to their sound

[@rezacuckea]

This is good!

[@blsfan1973]

This song is the SHIT its very fugging cool ....man these guys just plain ole rock

[@tomtucker1984]

most underrated metal band going

[@kevingordon669]

Damn these guys kick fucking ass!

[@UncleBlasto]

God-tier AF.

[@md_free85]

I wish Trivett was still in the band. He was a fucking Bad Ass Drummer.

[@kodyfelker5629]

i like this

[@isaiahputraalbar8778]

There is a place where the losers win A port of call for desperate men It is known by many names We come and go but it remains Nobody cares, nobody cries If you're scared or if you die That's the way it goes You should know You're in the place they call the night-side In the shadows where the killers and the pirates hide Stick around if you think you can survive In the city on the night-side Running scared through endless night Too afraid to put up a fight They shackle her wrists It's too late to resist Scanned for weapons and transmitters Sold at auction to the highest bidder That's the way it goes Now you know You can find us on the night-side In the shadows where the killers and the pirates hide Come around if you think you can survive In the city on the night-side You can find us on the night-side In the shadows where the killers and the pirates hide Come around if you think you can survive In the place they call the night-side

[@killsaw6]

Guys when they come back to full action, we must push them further because we need rock like this.

[@BongHuffingCaravan]

fuckin WOW man full blast on my stereo got my face near the speakers talk bout a face melter once again another killer jam from these cats

[@swollencadaver]

I had to turn it up!

[@qrangejuice8225]

These guys are goofballs and that's ok

[@JustinHawthorne]

Sick Lizzy,

[@NinjaSushi2]

Dang I love this band so much!! Hell yeah for Texas rock!

[@phantomshtter]

For anybody that likes similar suggestion, as far as the more rock songs on this album... I highly recommend checking out The Company Band. 👍🏻👌🏼

[@blueridger28]

I love this band and it almost feels a little like Thin Lizzy but i hate comparing bands to much.

[@juliankirby9880]

blueridger28 I feel the same way, but with how many bands are these days, it’s hard not to hear who influenced who. Like the genre referred to as the new wave of old school heavy metal; some bands literally have a song on each album that makes you recall a band from the 70s or 80s

[@stevenstompkins6987]

I worked security at their show at emos about ten years ago and they fucking destroyed an entire city block with the sonic blast. I think they were a three man at that time. Whatever, it was an exquisitely heavy experience

[@BlackJesus1992]

Reminds me of this one time me and some friends went partying at Mos Eisley spaceport, and then had to rescue this girl from Palpatine and ended up killing a bunch of people with katanas. Luckily, Admiral Ackbar had a rebel ship waiting in orbit. It was a wild night.

[@squirreltoes7]

Ooh Baby.

[@joaovitornovaes4901]

faz-me lembrar de O retorno do rei.

[@greyfoxzero]

Anyone else realize The Sword predicted Cyberpunk 2077 almost ten years before it ever came out? The lyrics are the whole damn Cyberpunk story including Night City.

[@gonzaloapestegui6362]

Perfect for Cyberpunk 2077

[@bigbluevioIence]

I wish they didn't get so famous so fast.... they will never come back to Fargo again. I am so glad I witnessed them in a tiny bar before they blew the fuck up.

[@blsfan1973]

So underrated

[@H0TR0B]

@bigbluevioIence But the world needs more bands like The Sword!

[@MichaelBradley1967]

Make it a ménage à trois with Captain Beyond & you got a hell of a baby. John reminds me a little of Rod Evans on this song.

[@jasoncoker1625]

💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@jasoncoker1625]

🤘

[@rjb4986]

I got to see them be4 I left Austin & of course they fuckin rocked the joint!!!

[@deneseal5452]

I love these guys, they opened for Metallica and Lamb of God on the Death Magnetic tour and I got stuck in traffic on the way and missed them.... AAAAGH! Am I alone in thinking this song sort of sounds like Corrosion of Conformity with a little bit more oomph?

[@mistamuthafuka]

Honestly...this song reminds me of a certain GNR song...

[@supashusta]

I think they've had swords in every video I've seen. Oh right...

[@davidfisk4735]

I was really hoping this would have been done animation style like something from Todd McFarlane and actually depicted what the song is about.

[@skyfinger9319]

John Taylor would approve

[@Squirrely95]

Duuuude I've watched this video like 5 times and I hadn't read the description til now...the villain is Carl?!? hahahahaha that's so badass

[@dhederamaputra6121]

so.. who is the girl?

[@MrJordwalk]

Dhede Rama Putra The girl in this video and the videos for 'Lawless Lands' and 'Tres Brujas' is supposed to be the character Astraea I think.

[@dhederamaputra6121]

Cole Jordan yep, and she's real name?

[@shinya2104]

+Dhede Rama Putra isn't she fucking hot?

[@dhederamaputra6121]

yeah for sure shinya2104

[@drywall8717]

if Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy had a baby this is what it would sound like when it cried.peace to all.rock on.

[@hoopoverthehill]

Fucking awesome

[@TwelfthImam]

Good, they finally slew that chick that was crying all the time. About time, she had really overstayed her welcome.

[@jervonics2112]

OH MY GOD! Katanas, Metal and Babes could it be that Heavy Metal has found an honest to goodness Champion?? With all the mass produced cheesy crap being forced upon the youth of this world, thank the gods that some honest rock n roll is an available alternative to the junk that is so prevalent today!

[@cultofdagon]

Nah, this is straight up hard rock.

[@kyussfan6]

When I hit 21, I am going to Vegas to gamble my life away. This song will be on when I hit that strip in my Motorhead shirt.

[@pistolmoth4198]

How’d that go?

[@anth4x]

the sword is the sword that is all

[@lethalbydefault]

I fucking love The Sword!

[@guitar5louli]

Tarataaan Tarataaan Tarataaan Tatara!

[@shitfer]

I need a van.

[@sinbysin666]

@deathkinggodfather1 I think the "How Heavy This Axe" video was too much a parody on the 60's, and 70's. This brings the elements of forgotten times into the NOW!. Lulz.

[@wemersonalves4955]

🖤🖤👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@SubjecttSigma]

I love it, but needs more cowbell!!

[@theradiantreddiamond2930]

Cyberpunk 2077 better add this or I'm rioting

[@bloo9699]

does this trilogy take place on a tidal locked planet?

[@thecannonball34]

blue Yeah. You should check out the album "The Warp Riders" if you want the full story.

[@juliankirby9880]

The whole album seems to be set in a galaxy or solar system. So this song’s lyrical content would suggest a tidally locked planet as the location of the Night City.

[@cdenny00]

Cyberpunk missed an opportunity...

[@sedertful]

wonder if they got to keep the swords...

[@marct6154]

Gene Wolfe!!!

[@chaptheman1]

The band worth listening to!!! I hope to see you guys in San Diego at house of blues you Jam like it should be done!!! Keep up the good work and not producing something about bitches in the club!!!

[@CarlosCarcamo-bs4ln]

Surprised this wasn’t in anyway part of Cyberpunk 2077.

[@pistolmoth4198]

Legit just heard this song again after playing cyberpunk and the connection kinda floored me. Probably just a huge coincidence but the parallels are interesting. Gives me a new way to think about the song and lyrics. If they keep the new game in night city I think it’d be criminal to not get the rights to use this song for a trailer at the very least

[@cultofdagon]

Alright, I will.

[@Geonious]

The title says Night City but I'm hearing Night Side. 🤔

[@BeauClarke78]

You know what's funny . . . I'm pure roots rock&metal; . . . high school early '90's in Seattle . . . I liked grunge, but it introduced me to all of this music that I ACTUALLY still listen to . . . with very little grunge still on the play list for that matter. This band effing has the stuff. I digress-I know very little of The Foo Fighters music, but from all of the Dave Grohl interviews, you can hear the desperation in his voice as he is fighting for relevance. You would think that with The Sword's fabric of Sabbath, UFO, Zeppelin, early Metallica and a bit of thin Lizzy that Dave and his lazy-ass arena rock band would at the very least have figured "this" formula out . . . It is a band like The Sword that keep the Dave Grohl's up at night . . .

[@bloo9699]

were the cows on the playlist? love me some cows!

[@hendyj89]

I used to think Foo Fighters were one of the only real rock bands left. But they aint got shit on these guys

[@lucianostampone209]

Estos Riffs no juegan carrito!!!!

[@ghostburgers4284]

This is night city.

[@TheLethalTomato]

Is this a cover? I swear i've heard this song a hundred times before?

[@brandonhofmann5479]

thats what I think bro

[@Didymuss1]

@Hvymetalsamurai82 I kinda like it tbh, it comes across as cheesy but entertaining

[@HenriqueCavalcantiTrovador]

3:26 Detonator, é você?

[@Lonkka665]

@OLDBUZZARDBONES I get more Frank Zappa vibes from him :) Doesn't really matter -awesome band and brilliant records!

[@davidquimby9183]

Thin Lizzy dat you?

[@aghunter]

My pant's just got tighter.

[@HadesEnviron13]

Reminds me of Lizzy...

[@OLDBUZZARDBONES]

J. D. kind looks like Tony Iommi

[@ghostburgers4284]

I am so fucking gay for liking this. I fucking love the sword.

[@vincenttalley5938]

I might be alone on this … But does anyone else get a Cowboy Bebop vibe from this song?
