They seem to be doing a decent push on the latest album, they are playing belfast, and coming to northern ireland is usually a sign of going all out.

Meh. I like the sci-fi concept they have going on, but musically, Warp Riders is lacking balls (ballz, even). They NEED to go all out for this one, methinks.

Also, no one ever comes to West Virginia, and if something decent is scheduled, it is usually cancelled the week of the show. We'll see. Don't further disappoint me, The Sword.

Agreed.

Also, the denial in the Stoner/Doom community on this album is disturbing.

Seems like everyone i talk to says a version of "hey, it isnt that bad... At least they didnt sell out..."

The whole album sounds like it's produced by Metallica's Bob Rock. Never heard Doom guitars sound so inoffensive to the ears. Bleh.

Hopefully they doint follow the Monster Magnet parable and turn into a plastic band.

Heaviness is supposed to sound like this:



Just sayin'...

I've only heard the song they have a video for, seemed like they were trying too hard to make it a concept song (lots of unnessicary lyrics at the cost of a decent riff) but I like stuff from their other slbums so I will proably go and see them.

Don't get me wrong. I'm totally going. I'll absolutley support any metal show that comes through town, whether its my "thing" or not. I want more bands to play here.

Yep yep, I fell in love with BotD the day I heard "Night Wraith".

Mastery are sweet. The drum sounds is way hollow on the EP, but they can riff in a substantial way.

I knew you were completely hopeless in your lack of taste Robert... :-P

Moar old school thrashery

Also, you get bonus points for finding a band that my ex-boy didn't know about. It was the first time ever that I asked him about a band and he wasn't already familiar.
