This dude had taken his favorite <strong>RUSH<\/strong> songs and dropped the pitch control on his record player as low as it would go \u2014 taking these classic <strong>RUSH<\/strong> tracks and turning them into a C-standard sludge fest with the most air drumable drums!! Does it doom? Heck yes, it does. Enjoy our cover of the classic <strong>RUSH<\/strong> track <strong>&#8216;Working Man&#8217;<\/strong> with a <strong>SLUSH<\/strong>-y spin.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The <strong>&#8220;Conquest Of Quarantine&#8221;<\/strong> lockdown session marks <strong>THE SWORD<\/strong>&#8216;s first live performance together since the band went on hiatus in 2018. The group rolled out a track a week over the last three weeks \u2014 including its own inimitable spin on the <strong>T.REX<\/strong> classic <strong>&#8220;Children Of The Revolution&#8221;<\/strong> and a new rendition of its mammoth hit &#8220;Winter&#8217;s Wolves&#8221; from its debut album, <strong>&#8220;Age Of Winters&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>THE SWORD<\/strong>&#8216;s triumphant live return from hiatus was scheduled to be with <strong>PRIMUS<\/strong> this summer as part of their mammoth <strong>&#8220;A Tribute To Kings&#8221;<\/strong> U.S. trek. But the pandemic had other plans. Not wishing to deprive fans of the live performances they&#8217;ve been waiting so long to see, <strong>THE SWORD<\/strong> got creative and so was birthed the <strong>&#8220;Conquest Of Quarantine&#8221;<\/strong> lockdown session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/blabbermouth.net\/news\/the-sword-releases-sludgy-cover-of-rushs-working-man\/\">Blabbermouth.net<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE SWORD have dropped the third and final installment of their three-song mini-series \u2014 &#8220;Conquest&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82420","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=82420"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82420\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":82422,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82420\/revisions\/82422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=82420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=82420"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=82420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
