This week we’re discussing every album by The Sword. Made up of core members JD Cronise (guitar, vocals), Kyle Shutt (guitar), and Bryan Richie (bass), The Sword is straightforward, hard hitting, stoner rock at its finest. While they started out as a doom metal band, they evolved into a noticeably deeper hard rock band, never once shedding the Sabbath-inspired pentatonic riffs along the way. Not a band for every occasion, but one that kicks a ton of ass.
Closing track: “The Wild Sky” from Used Future (2018)
