First conceived in 2003, the Sword really hit their stride about a year later, when founding vocalist and guitarist J.D. Cronise joined forces with guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo, and made a much raved-about appearance at Austin&#8217;s famed SXSW festival. National touring stints with everyone from Clutch to indie rock darlings &#8230;And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead followed, and by mid-2005, the Sword had been picked up by New York-based indie label Kemado Records, with their much-anticipated debut album, Age of Winters, appearing early the next year. Before completing their second album, they contributed two songs (one original and one Led Zeppelin cover) to a split 12&#8243; EP with Swedish heavy rockers Witchcraft in November 2007.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: Lambgoat<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theswordofdoom\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/theswordofdoom<\/a><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE SWORD has now announced the fourth leg of their &#8220;Used Future&#8221; tour.
