As an epic follow-up to their first two albums, Age of Winters and Gods of the Earth, The Sword return to the studio with the help of producer Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Isis, Minus the Bear) and Kemado Records.  After touring with Metallica over the course of 2008 and 2009, Bayles is the first producer to be involved with an album by The Sword.

The Sword will also be opening for Motorhead on March 16 at Stubbs in Austin, TX.
