The Sword
Website
The Sword is an American heavy metal band from Austin, Texas. Since its inception in 2003 the band has comprised vocalist and guitarist John "J. D." Cronise, guitarist Kyle Shutt, and bassist Bryan Richie, and since October 2011 has included drummer Santiago "Jimmy" Vela III. Originally signed to New York-based independent label Kemado Records, the group released debut album Age of Winters in 2006, which was largely written by Cronise prior to the band's formation. The band's second album, Gods of the Earth, was released two years later, and gave the group its first entry on the US Billboard 200 chart.
In 2010 the band released Warp Riders, a concept album centered on an original science fiction narrative written by Cronise, which marked the first time the band had enlisted an external producer. After leaving Kemado and signing with Razor & Tie in early 2012, the group is due to release its fourth album Apocryphon later in the year. - Wikipedia
