Queen Guinivere's Sonic Desires.

ageofwinters.jpgThe Austin, TX, rock and roll band The Sword bring the "retro metal" (they add some Zep moodiness to this Sabbath- and Maiden-feuled template, and lay it all over thematic genre staples: Norse/Germanic mythology and Arthurian legends) much like current tourmates Early Man did with last year's Closing In. The Sword's new album, Age of Winters, drops next Tuesday.

Behold the mighty storm and partake of its fruit basket of sound:

The Sword - "Winter's Wolves"
The Sword - "Iron Swan"

Ah, Iron Maiden. You were the Journey of heavy metal all those years ago.

On first listen, it sounds like these fellas mix it up a bit more than Early Man did. Is good.
