Top 10 Best The Sword Songs

Top 10 favorite songs from The Sword; a great metal band from Austin, Texas. They are doom metal with heavy influence from Black Sabbath, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and Blue Cheer.

While I'm dead on sure about my top three favorites - for now. The other seven might change. It's damn hard trying to find your top ten favorite songs from this band, especially when A LOT of their songs are really damn good!!! I like the faster tempo ones the most, but there are some really good slower ones too.
The Top Ten
1 The Black River

This is by far my favorite song from The Sword. I love the riffs and solo in this song a lot.

Brutal, Pounding, and consistent, this song will have any lover of The Sword headbanging and coming back for more. My absolute favorite.

2 Freya

Classic song! A bit slow in the tempo, but it still hits heavy!

Great song, but Lament for the Aurochs is better!

3 Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians

Fast and blistering. I love it!

4 Winter's Wolves
5 Maiden, Mother & Crone

Best song by the sword by far. The main riff is one of my favorite riffs of all time!

6 Iron Swan

Fast tempo and relentless. Not as much as Fire Lances but still great!

7 How Heavy This Axe
8 The Veil of Isis
9 Tres Brujas

My favorite, but in truth, there are many that could snag the top spot. What a good band...

10 Barael's Blade
The Contenders
11 The White Sea
12 The Frost-Giant's Daughter
13 Cloak of Feathers

Another great example of J.D. 's improved vocals. The best parts in this song are when the music stops and he sings.

14 Execrator
15 Apocryphon

My favorite song from the sword's newest album. The best thing about this song is the keyboard intro. That's right, keyboard! The new element of the keyboard really brings something great to the entire album

16 Seven Sisters
17 Dying Earth

The strange synth at the end of this song is what put it on my top 10

18 High Country
19 To Take the Black
20 Lords
21 Ebethron
22 March of the Lor

Like bands such as Metallica, Rush, and Liquid Tension Experiment, The Sword are very good at writing instrumentals. This is their best one. This 8 part song shows how skilled of musicians they really. Its no La Villa Strangiato but its still a great song.

23 Lament for the Aurochs

An epic cut. This is the song that really epitomizes the sword to me.

24 Mist & Shadow
