Conquest of Kingdoms

by The Sword

supported by

DAS VILLAIN Very cyclical, The Sword delivers some great music of 70's prog-rock/hard rock/heavy meatal guitar-riffage, 90's proto-alternative rock, and fantasy/sci-fi lyrics that feels something straight out of Lord of The Rings, if J. R. R. Tolkien was a total metalhead!!!

A criminally underrated band, The Sword's sound in the studio and live (as laid out on this release) kicks ass, takes names, and lays waste to anyone in their way! Favorite track: Barael's Blade - Live At Emo's / Austin, TX / April 30, 2005.

mannes66 Unheard ordered, because The Sword are Gods!!! Favorite track: Iron Swan - Live At Emo's / Austin, TX / April 30, 2005.

maddog2201 Nothing like a good compilation album, and this as a very good one, with a few songs not on their other albums and some really good covers. Favorite track: Serpent Weather.
