The Sword is a heavy metal band from Austin, Texas.

Contents

The Sword was formed in 2003 in Austin, Texas by J.D. Cronise. Cronise, a guitarist and vocalist who had played with Those Peabody's, searched out a number of musicians before finally assembling the band completely with rhythm guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie and drummer Trivett Wingo.

In support of their first album, they toured the United States with the likes of ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, Lacuna Coil and In Flames; Europe with Clutch and Nebula; and Japan with Lamb of God.[1] They contributed the song "Under the Boughs" to the Invaders compilation also on Kemado Records. A cover of their song "Freya" from Age of Winters appears on Guitar Hero II. Their lyrics often deal with Norse mythology, and several of their songs are inspired by the novels of George R.R. Martin.

In November of 2007 they released a split 12" EP with Swedish doom metal band Witchcraft. The EP contains two songs by The Sword, the latter being a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song." Currently, the band is writing their follow up for Age of Winters which is due to be released in the spring of 2008.
