 Rating: - shows progress .........This review is for people who have heard Age of Winters (the first album) and are considering purchasing this. Firstly, my opinion of the previous CD was that it rocked pretty hard, but it did sound overly repetitive at times and somewhat amateurish; The cadence of the vocals were the same throughout the disc, which proved to be distracting almost to the point of being annoying. I would probably rate it a 2.5. Now, on to "Gods of the Earth." Quite an improvement. The band didn't necessarily ...

It was really refreshing to hear a very tight band with such heavy riffage! You just don't often get the heavy with such great musicians and lyrics. (Yes, they're just as good live as recorded) Their first album, Age of Winters didn't leave my CD player / iPod playlist for months. Then, I got a treat... I found out Gods Of The Earth was coming out! I was a bit worried about The Sword's sophomore effort as their first ...

If you happen to love stoner rock/metal, you certainly aren't going to hear anything new. BUT, you aren't going to hear anything really new or different in the whole genre. This music is for people who like this kind of music. Don't allow a music snob to make the call for you, hear them yourself. Rating: - Good, but not as good as Age of WintersOkay, The Sword first caught my attention, along with most people, in Guitar Hero 2. Yeah, I know... whatever. Anyway, Age of Winters was really good - it was kind of like what Black Sabbath would have sounded like in a slightly alternate universe (obviously before Dio). Their sophomore effort, Gods of the Earth, continues this, but the sound engineering was a bit disappointing. Guitars were less distinct - a fuzzier sound, and it was like they went out of the way to muffle the vocals. The songs are great, ... Read More Rating: - WICKEDIn the stoner rock scene, if it is a scene at all, The Sword are up there with Clutch and Fu Manchu. They definately captivate the fan bases of both those bands. Expect big things from this band in the future. Whereas most of these stoner rock bands take their inspiration from Sabbath and Mountain, a metal sound forged from a molten aloy of FM Classic rock and obscure ancient acid rock, The Sword update the sound with element's of Slayer and Iron Maiden. The album is structured ... Read More |
