There are multiple new faces of metal. There is the stuff in the vein of Lamb of God and what not, made to thrive solely on the sheer power of meatheads and walls of death. Then there is the stuff sort of like Mastodon, made to make you think, made to make you question how it is technically possible to pull off what you just heard. Then there is The Sword. The Sword is a blast from the past, the finest elements of everything that made metal the ultimate genre. The new album “Gods of the Earth” doesn’t come out till April 1st, so this little taste will have to do. While those other bands make metal a bit more acceptable, The Sword, fueled by its monster rock riffs, make metal cool again.
