The Sword - Sea of Spears

Off of The Sword/Witcraft Record

[@ballisstrife]

The Sword should be mandatory listening for anyone that calls themselves a "metalhead". Kids these days don't know what real metal is.

[@turning8bit]

Listening in 2022. Still heavy as fuck trial by combat music.

[@alienthompson]

saw them in OKC saturday night. some of the loudest, heaviest noises that my ears have ever met

[@elliotlee2465]

they'll be here again wednesday

[@FeastOvGoreglutton]

the riffage

[@EyeOnTheTV]

I have full confidence in The Sword to produce a quality album. I believe they can blur the lines between traditional sci-fi and fantasy genres very well. Take the lyrics and music video for Fire Lances as an example.

[@requiem4ameme2]

We have sent riders ahead to warn of our coming And those who have not yet fled shall join us or die We will have our revenge for the wounds we have suffered And when the battle begins, you must look in our eyes. Untie the prisoner, have someone dress her wounds Then take her to my chambers. All traces of your house will be destroyed Your ancestors' names will be stricken from the scrolls To prove this, two methods will be employed: None will survive, no mercy will be shown. There are seers in the cities to the South They have foreseen their own doom, which we seek to bring about Hordes of men gather unto me To sail the sea of spears over waves of enemies.

[@gumballthechewy]

I think the line is: "Your ancestors names will be stricken from the scrolls"

[@requiem4ameme2]

@@gumballthechewy Good catch! I just listened to the version from Conquest of Kingdoms and it's much clearer there.

[@memevarg2530]

Fucking awesome

[@TheCocktailHour]

THE SWORD RULES!!!!!!! I wonder why stoner metal isn't more mainstream...

[@MiltonMiggs]

@whobucky "All traces of your house will be destroyed. Your ancestors names will be stricken from the *scroll*." Scroll is the only part I'm not sure about, but Dude you ROCK!! I couldn't find anything with lyrics.

[@EyeOnTheTV]

This track is amazing. I can't imagine it being on either AoW or GotE. The spears are marching by in my head....

[@LankanLatino]

these guys opened for kyuss last night in toronto..thanks to that, i'm here..they did an awesome show

[@TheImmortalCheneys]

such great riffs on this jam. Heavily reminiscent of Badmotorfinger-era Kim Thayil.

[@AxemanJimmy]

wow, these guys are pretty good cant wait to see them along with METALLICA 28th feb!!!

[@EyeOnTheTV]

This track fuggin rocks!! I believe they confirmed that it will be on their next album. Hopefully it will be out before July.

[@AcidDvl]

@lulutalkingdolphin I'am 18 hears old, and I started to hear The Sword one year ago. I always liked good music. And I know that my generation don't listen to good music anymore. That's just fucking unacceptable! Metal till dead \m/

[@AcidDvl]

@lulutalkingdolphin look, i am 17 years, I love trash metal, and start today listening to The Sword, OMG its amazing, good music can still be made!! I am one of the few teenagers that listen to metal!!! I'm proud to be one of the 8% of teens that know what real music is...

[@nazgulpenguin]

While we are naming bands let me submit High on Fire, Witch, Saviours, Earthless, Kyuss, Sleep, and Om. Great song btw, cant wait to pick up that album!

[@chewylord]

This was released exactly a year after I was born. It's weird though 'cause I love The Sword like their a completely new band or one of the classics.

[@ElNick09]

These guys are amazing, I know Warp Riders is still glowing red hot its so new, but I still can't wait for their next album!

[@EyeOnTheTV]

loving this track. very heavy. very awesome.

[@SamuelLJacksonsFish]

god, this is so heavy with out getting into annoying screamo. it's awesome.

[@freshmakerrrr]

@EyeOnTheTV I'm fuckin pumped for warp riders i cant wait

[@smirch]

They opened for Metallica on their last tour...I wanted Metallica to go backstage and bring The Sword back out....fucking epic. Each and every one of their songs should be listened to while swinging a broadsword.

[@invictusonline]

it's supposed to be coming out in spring time 2010. i got to talk to them about it and they said this song was most likely going to be on their

[@WHISKEYMAN603]

got turned on to this band from an old highschool buddy. the sword where have u been all my life

[@victusvanzant7454]

Their greatest song.

[@memevarg2530]

How fucking metal do you want these lyrics to be? Y E S

[@drewbessey5688]

This song is just great

[@1900stratoliner]

These guy's are great.

[@vendetacos]

Beatiful.

[@cyborgtroy]

Now I have to get another album. Stop being awesome.

[@m1spike]

siiiiiiiiiiiick. these guys wail.

[@Mustachhe]

NEW THE SWORD ALBUM coming in August 10th fuck yes!!!!!

[@D0sTKhan]

The hooks...the fucking hooks in this riff monster!!!

[@Timcollis78]

Really Good stuff

[@shtty17]

I love this shit. people need to realize that today's mainstream shit is just...well it sux ass. This is legit music.

[@freshmakerrrr]

good song

[@ospididious]

Sounds a lot like COC. I dig it.

[@diogosaraiva]

Cool, never got to hear this album and I really like these two bands (especially witchcraft)

[@memevarg2530]

I can't find this version on any album. It's such a good recording, where is it now?

[@ItsCioffi]

Holy shit the sword is the BEST

[@kazoshay]

seen them live twice, the sword don't fuck around! A+

[@CasketSealer]

Warp Riders August 24th, 2010!!!!!

[@ThrashRoC]

yeah , they`re great , i saw them supporting metallica , 2 years ago , but now i realize how great they are , i actually bought the new album , fucking brilliant !!

[@vonheller]

The Sword Fucking Rules..period...

[@Naterel]

The Sword is a faster Sleep

[@noiselyfe9067]

Yeah that's a good way of putting it

[@Ferranax]

@MikeMcMikerson Reminds me more of the Martells, they love them some spears.

[@ospididious]

@TheCRRiddle And after listening to the first thirty seconds, yes, it totally sounds not only like Corrosion of Conformity, but also elements of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Sound Garden, and if you can't recognize or appreciate the predecessors of your current rock stars then you need to do some homework kid.

[@dreddbolt]

@RACCOONraul I also want to know where BloodAndThunder00 got that awesome artwork!!

[@ligerman30]

hope i can get the next album by christmas!!!

[@BloodAndThunder00]

Hey no problem dude. Glad you enjoy it as much as I do.

[@marenostrum80]

fucking badass , sabbath reborn

[@TheImmortalCheneys]

hoping they play this jam tonight in BK. \m/

[@ironbehemoth1993]

@Mustachhe incorrect. Iron Maiden album August 10th, Sword August 24. God, its going to be a good month.

[@MikeMcMikerson]

This sounds like a big Game of Thrones reference to the war between the Lannisters, Starks, and Boratheons.

[@froston4]

Just bought the green marble vinyl off ebay for $65.. So psyched.

[@MrHarco77]

I have two copies of this and thinking about ebaying them. this is one of their best. one on purple; one on green.

[@nyrigliph1c5]

Seriously!! Where can you find a mp3 of this song!!??

[@METALHEAD54100]

@lulutalkingdolphin im 14 and i love these guys and this along with classic metal like black sabbath, judas priest, iron maiden, metallica are real metal is.

[@EyeOnTheTV]

Rock on lil dude.

[@xPTRIXx]

Pretty badass intro.

[@nerfisepic]

Will do man.

[@Mustachhe]

@ironbehemoth1993 kewl beans thx man. But more fucking time to wait greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaatttttt.

[@stupidvampiretwat]

It's from a split with Witchcraft. I can't find an album name right now.. My downloaded one just says VA. x3

[@Jim90117]

"sail the sea of spears over* waves of enemies". Other than that dude nice deciphering.

[@masongordon5401]

does anyone know where i can download this song, I downloaded every album from The Sword on iTunes and Amazon Mp3 and I cant find this song anywhere?!

[@StockdaleMB]

I am pretty sure this is off a split with Witchcraft. I don't know why they would put it on their new album.

[@thedon420333]

just cus it's on a split doesn't mean it has to be on their next album... it could or it couldn't be

[@RACCOONraul]

@dreddbolt look up the witchcraft/ sword split. thats how i found it

[@6Goat6Skrote6]

this is a good witchfinder general cover band.

[@Aeturnalis]

the bass in this song... my subwoofer is (violently) raping the foundation of this building lol

[@Fraeg]

saw them open for clutch last week.... had never heard em before... they put on a better show than clutch.. hell i wish they had just kept on playing

[@ShoveDaddy]

@SOCsaint07 THANK YOU

[@RACCOONraul]

where the hell do i get that sweet artwork

[@stupidvampiretwat]

@shtty17 To be fair, I'd say all is 'legit' music, but I agree, rock especially has gone down the pan over the last decade.

[@MikeMcMikerson]

That makes a lot of sense..those are some unbowed, Unbent and Unbroken mother fuckers lol

[@biebes7]

Fucking hell, these guys could be big one day. I saw them open for Metallica and was impressed. All they need is a decent drummer.

[@wedidntseeanyting]

anyone know the lyrics? ive searched everywhere on the web so dont say google it cuz ive tried a million times!

[@dflip87]

ALL HAIL THE SWORD (and then tell me where i can download the stuff from this album with witchcraft [who also rule])

[@Nygmjd]

where can you get this? ive looked on I-Tunes, and the Sword website, and couldnt find it

[@Transistor97]

Where do I get a copy of this?

[@ReadySaltedCrisps]

What's your point? None. End of. I won't be replying to your pointless invalid comments. But feel free to pointless spam. :)

[@kingofquartz]

Where can I find this song??

[@GRILLBUOY101]

WOW WHAT ALBUM IS THIS SONG FROM??THAT WAS PURE SICKNESS!!

[@h00dak]

have they ever performed this live?

[@ClassicRockLivesOn]

Is this song about Lord Stannis?

[@poopiedartz]

Lord "Satan" is named Stan? Who knew!

[@AfroMan5900]

poopiedartz Stannis from Game of Thrones dude.

[@AfroMan5900]

Sounds more like it's from the perspective of the Greyjoys, if anything.

[@ClassicRockLivesOn]

AfroMan5900 I always pictured as being from the perspective of Stannis sweeping down from the wall. He has a pretty big "join us or die" attitude. I also thought the "we will have our revenge for the wounds we have suffered" echoed Stannis's "They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" line. Though it sounds like it could work for the Starks too.

[@christopherdon]

BATTLEDORKS!!!

[@invictusonline]

@SeaHorseGypsy he's good dude. have you seen hime live?

[@Eltieth]

@ospididious Hahaha, I love that comment and I agree completely

[@2footman]

sea of blood and blood of sword O_O

[@whobucky]

Here's what my ears hear (question marks if I'm not sure) we have sent riders ahead to warn of our coming and those who have not yet bled will join us or die we will have our revenge for the wounds we have suffered and when the battle begins you must look in our eyes untie the prisoners have someone dress the wounds then take them to my chambers

[@YouAreStillNotablaze]

@shtty17 Though I like the mainstream stuff too but this stuff is totally awesome and it really isn't fair that I don't hear these bands except by chance :P They are real eye opener.

[@superjoint89]

Their sound reminds me of Down.. they sound a lot alike huh?! :D

[@EyeOnTheTV]

WARP RIDERS AUG24!~!!!!!!!

[@ospididious]

@TheCRRiddle Yes... quite so... probably drunk too. What's your bag?

[@SeaHorseGypsy]

new drummer blows

[@Garamondable]

I'm 14 years old and I listen to this and more underrated bands. People are like 'I like metal because I listen to Bring Me The Horizon!' teenage scum these days. I'll just stick to creepin around like a goon listening to good music.

[@thewoolycontacts]

@nyrigliph1c5 just convert the video on google. Thats what I do. I dont feel guilty because I have already bought all of the albums on cds

[@EyeOnTheTV]

@TheCRRiddle I'ld like that link....

[@BigWrig]

August 24th fuckin warp riders

[@Stratplayer05]

@lulutalkingdolphin You could change the term "metalhead" just "people."

[@Dan24591]

if you want heavy without going into gay screamo, check out viking skull.

[@Fozes]

What the hell is wrong with Trivett? :(
