Recently I've been listening to one band non-stop, Day and night. I catch myself singing their epic lyrics and humming their riffs everywhere I go.
That band is....
The Sword
I just can't get over them. One of my friends said "Holy god! They've out-Sabbathed Sabbath!". The only explanation fitting enough for their sound is the one on their myspace; "Sounds like; A bunch of Bison being pushed off a cliff".

In my humble opinion, these guys represent metal at its finest.
So, I thought I'de turn you guys on to them. They're saviors to me, I grew up listening to Sabbath and Zeppelin, and this day in age all my friends listen to screamy hardcore/metalcore, so finding The Sword reminded me of being a kid, and discovering metal/hardrock for the first time.
