2010, Kemado Records
Recorded at Folkvang Studios in Austin, TX, Gods of the Earth instantly conveys what words can only try to describe: The Sword is not to be taken lightly. From the moment the album's lead track 'The Sundering' explodes, it is immediately apparent that The Sword has upped the ante on a sound all its own.
More ambitious, more accomplished and simply bigger, Gods of the Earth's huge, mountaintop-friendly hooks, thunderous drumming and oceanic bass lines cut through the air like a scythe, while the ominous vocals of frontman J.D. Cronise weave fantastical tales rife with myth and mythology. Waves of powerful riffs and low-end thunder dominate songs such as the immediate 'Maiden, Mother & Crone,' 'Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians,' 'Under the Boughs' and the paralyzing 'The Black River.'
