Yes, yes, Hell-friggin-yes.
Six weeks until I get to have my face rocked off (once again) by one of my favorite bands in the world: The Sword. No, I am not kidding or being ironic, I consider their third full-length, Warp Riders, among my most eagerly anticipated albums of the year.
Today, Kemado Records and The Sword gave us a little sample of what the band has in store on August 24th and, evidently, the “metal stalwarts” (saw it in the press release and had to use it!) will reveal the album’s plot in more detail through a three-part video saga beginning with the “Tres Brujas” video, followed by clips for “Lawless Lands” and “Night City.”
After the jump, you’ll find more info and goodies from the band.
