On their sophomore album Gods Of The Earth The Sword dishes out another serving of stoner and NWOBHM inspired metal riffage that should help you pillage any small countryside towns that you and your noble steed should come across in your journeys. The album picks up exactly where Age Of Winter left off; not as pummeling as Mastodon and not as melodic and epic as Zeppelin. Gods Of The Earth grooves, pounds, and provides guitar pyrotechnics that seem to be made for worship on Guitar Hero. In short:
“This thing all things devours:
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers:
Gnaws iron, bites steel:
Grinds hard stones to meal:
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountains down!”

Trivett Wingo sold me Heartattack #1 and the Downcast 12” in 1993. That’s all I have to say about the Sword.
