VINYL FORMAT. 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.

This two-fer from Sabbath-worshipping, Austin, TX-based doom metal outfit the Sword features the band's first two albums, Age of Winters (2006) and Gods of the Earth (2007).
