o clutch o Kylesa o Church of misery o HOF o...

Yo aún confío

Menos a Kylesa. A mi me encataria una reunion de Sleep, aunque solo fuese un concierto. Y ya que estamos que tambien tocasen Om.

El debut me encanto, el Gods no tanto; de hecho ni siquiera lo mantuve en el disco duro (cuando el age me lo pille original en cuanto pude).

En vinilaco hace unos días.

Portada del nuevo disco:

Me gusta la portada, espero que tiré al Age, que el Gods me pareció flojillo.

With a narrative arc that the band describes as "a psychedelic space opera that explores the temporal themes of death and rebirth," it's only fitting that the record's cover art is equally mind melting. Paying homage to authors that inspired the album's lyrics, artist Dan McPharlin created an image in the tradition of classic science fiction book covers.


jarrrrrrl

el Age tiene un sonido más retro y clasicote, pero los riffs y solos del Gods se salen

a tenor de las entrevistas va a ser su disco más épico

y yo que me alegro, hoyga

The Sword planean filmar tres vídeos para tres canciones de lo que será su nuevo disco, "Warp Riders". El primero será el del tema "Tres Brujas" que podremos oír a partir del próximo día 6. Los otros temas serán "Lawless Lands" y "Night City". Por otro lado, la banda publicará un 12" en forma de hexágono del tema "(The Night Sky Cried) Tears Of Fire". También planean editar el concierto que den en Londres en el marco del "iTunes Roundhouse Festival".

Austin, Texas metal luminaries THE SWORD are kicking it into high gear as the release of their highly anticipated third full-length, "Warp Riders" (August 24; Kemado Records) rapidly approaches. The band has finally revealed the album's artwork and will be releasing additional visual companions in the form of an upcoming picture disc and an epic video trilogy.

With a narrative arc that the band describes as "a psychedelic space opera that explores the temporal themes of death and rebirth," it's only fitting that the record's cover art is equally mind melting. Paying homage to authors that inspired the album's lyrics, artist Dan McPharlin created an image in the tradition of classic science fiction book covers. THE SWORD will also release a limited edition hexagon-shaped picture-disc 12-inch single for "(The Night Sky Cried) Tears of Fire".

Fans that are eagerly awaiting to hear the new material will have their thirst quenched on July 6 when first single "Tres Brujas" will be let loose online. The track is also the first part of a video trilogy helmed by former THE SWORD collaborators Artificial Army, which will launch in August. The second and third chapters of the saga will be for "Lawless Lands" and "Night City".

THE SWORD will have the honor of being the sole opener for OZZY OSBOURNE at the iTunes Roundhouse Festival in London on July 3. Their set will be recorded and available on iTunes in early July.

"Warp Riders" marks the first release where the group has worked with an outside producer. Helmed by Matt Bayles (PEARL JAM, MASTODON, ISIS), the album is anchored by an epic science-fiction narrative. The storyline is a psychedelic space opera that explores temporal themes of death and rebirth. "Warp Riders" also finds THE SWORD expanding its range from pure metal to include bone-crunching hard rock at large. Rather than dampening its sound, the band actually sounds more amplified than ever, spewing out some of its most scalding riffs to date and channeling an unearthly bellow from its low end.

Opening track "Acheron/Unearthing The Orb" begins with ominous, fog-drenched atmosphere before a flurry of nimble fretwork and galloping drums storm out of the gate. The energy doesn't let up once and by the final moments of closing cut, "(The Night Sky Cried) Tears of Fire", an intensely satisfying resolution sets in. Guitarists Kyle Shutt and John "J. D." Cronise execute punishing acrobatics while injecting melody at every turn. Bryan Richie's warm bass lays down the foundation and ripples with menace. Trivett Wingo's drumming explodes with the perfect balance of both precision and dexterity.

In a recent interview with Decibel magazine, THE SWORD guitarist/vocalist John "J. D." Cronise stated about the forthcoming effort, "This is what you'd technically call a 'concept album,' though I'd describe it as more of a soundtrack to a story I came up with. All the songs are about aspects of the story, but they don't cover every detail from beginning to end. It's a science fiction story, and it deals heavily with themes of light and dark and perceptions of time. One of the main settings is a planet, which has experienced tidal locking, creating a side of perpetual day and a side of perpetual night. The reason for creating a narrative to base the songs around was essentially to provide interesting and varied lyrical subject matter with a core theme to tie it all together."

Cronise previously told AOL's Noisecreep that "Warp Riders" will have a broader hard rock sound but stressed that the band's aim isn't to broaden its appeal outside of the heavy metal market. "If more people listen that's great, but we're not doing it for that reason," he said. "We are just more interested in expanding our sound for ourselves. If we wanted to expand our audience we should just remake the second album over again, rather than challenge people with something new."

Lo escuché ayer.
Me gustó, pero me esperaba un hostiazo mayor para abrir boca.
Madre mía, qué ganas. No pueden decepcionar.

Creo que por contrato no pueden hacerlo, era una de las condiciones de Kemado Records....

Lo acabo de escuchar y me quedo con la misma impresión ..... aún así

Una de mis mayores esperanzas de cara a este año junto con Arcade Fire.

A mi me ha gustado mucho el tema ese de Tres Brujas.
Todavía queda un mes para que salga...

A todo. La portada chula, chula, todo lo contrario que la del disco anterior.

Yo aún confío en que saquen un álbum donde den lo mejor de sí mismos, porque cualidades no les faltan.

Me da miedo. Y lo digo porque espera más de los últimos discos de HOF, Mastodon y Baroness. Los tres son buenos discos, pero esperaba más de todos ellos. Igual es mi problema, claro.

Lo de "miedo", evidentemente, es una forma de expresarme, estoy convencido de que van a sacar un discazo. Coño, que me he puesto casi tan dramatico como Rocket.
