"Before forging the blade, the swordsmiths underwent fasting and ritual purification. They then worked at their anvils in white clothes, like the robes of the priests. Their efforts were well rewarded. The final result was a blade of unparalleled craftsmanship. Its edge is made of metal so hard that it holds a razor sharpness even after repeated use in battle."
The Sword is an American heavy metal rock n' roll band that was formed in Austin, Texas in 2003 and has existed in its current form since early 2004. Since then they have recorded and released two full-length albums on Kemado Records. Their third album for Kemado will be released later this year.

I think you guys rock and in an sexual way are savages!!! you should put up the song "Celestial Crown".... I can see a see myself slowly stripping my clothes off to that one!!!!!! + peace +
I´ve checked out the opening song from the Rob Zombie directed Episode of CSI Miami. The Guitar Riff seems very similar to Freya, but I own the new record of Rob Zombie and he used one of his own songs from this record for the opening scene.
Hey guys, kind of weird to tell ya this.. But.. "Freya" opening riff has been ripped off by some hollywood cheesy re-incarnation company on the opening of tonight's CSI: Miami produced by Rob Zombie. You should probably research this. I dunno, I'm just sayin'..
You guys played two new songs late last year at The Mohawk and they had a heavy Thin Lizzy sound. Now that makes sense and I am really looking forward to hearing your Cold Sweat cover. I hope I can snatch up a vinyl copy of that whenever and however I can. "Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat, running down the back of my neck. To lose means trouble, to win pays double and I got me a heavy bet". Still wish I had that Z-28 I used to rock out in.
A wee homage to Conan of Cimmeria!!! "Fire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts." *Points to sword* "This you can trust."
Fuckin I remember back when Age of Winters came out and I was listening to The Sword all the time, and you guys were always playing shows around Hollywood and around there and I tried so hard for so long to try to get to one of your shows. Now you tour all around the nation and I still haven't seen you. Dammit
