About Sword

A quarter of a century ago, in a town south of Montreal called Saint Bruno, Rick and Dan Hughes decided they wanted to be in a heavy metal band. The singer and drummer respectively were joined by guitarist Mike Plant and bassist Mike Larock to form the thrash metal quartet known as Sword.

Sword released two albums for Aquarius in the mid to late 80s; the thundering ‘Metalized’ in 1986 and its equally heavy follow-up ‘Sweet Dreams’ in 1988. With their fierce riffs and pummeling drums, Sword earned the respect of their metal peers and fans around the world. Not only did they tour in support of Motörhead and Alice Cooper, but the group was hand picked to open for Metallica on the 1986 ‘Master of Puppets’ tour.

Now in 2006, Aquarius Records is proud to release "The Best of Sword", which will be in stores on Tuesday, October 31st. Sword’s mastery lives on in this solid twelve pack of fist-pumping, bar-brawling ear splitters culled from two gems from the classic age of metal.

The track listing is as follows:

1. Stoned Again
2. F.T.W.
3. Until Death Do Us Part
4. Outta Control
5. Runaway
6. Land of the Brave
7. Children of Heaven
8. Prepare to Die
9. State of Shock
10. Evil Spell
11. The Threat
12. Sweet Dreams

Flight of Flames	Jan 31 2009 7:47 AM Wow the memories these tunes bring back!!!
Britton	Jan 31 2009 4:10 AM Hell yeah! "Sweet Dreams" and especially "Metalized" are some of the best Canadian metal ever. You don't know how many times I've listened to each of those albums over the last 20 years or so. I finally found copies of both albums on CD on Amazon to replace the cassettes I've had since they came out. The sound quality on the cassettes were getting pretty bad... Hahaha...
