The Sword is an American heavy metal band that formed in Austin, Texas in 


2003. Since its inception, the band has comprised vocalist, guitarist, 


songwriter and producer John "J. D." Cronise, guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist 


and engineer Bryan Richie and drummer Trivett Wingo. Signed to New 


York-based label Kemado Records, The Sword has released two full-length 


studio albums: Age of Winters in 2006 and Gods of the Earth in 2008. 





The Sword is commonly classified as doom metal, alternative metal and stoner 


metal. Eduardo Rivadavia of allmusic describes the band as being "at the 


forefront of ... the 'heritage' or 'retro metal' movement", comparing it to 


heavy metal veterans Black Sabbath and vocalist Cronise to Ozzy 


Osbourne. Rolling Stone also likens the band to Sabbath, as does 


AbsolutePunk.net in its review of Gods of the Earth, claiming that "It's 


impossible not to compare [the album] to the works of Black Sabbath." The 


Sword has also been dubbed as 'hipster metal', though Cronise and the band 


object to such a label 





While every member of the band contributes to the musical compositions, 


Cronise is the primary writer of the band's lyrics. He often uses Norse 


mythology as a topic in his lyrics, notably in the song "Freya"; but cites 


literature as his main influence, naming such authors as George R. R. Martin, 


Robert E. Howard, H. P. Lovecraft and Arthur C. Clarke. 





The band has cited Black Sabbath (the band they are most commonly 


compared to) as a major influence, in addition to doom trio Sleep, sludge 


band the Melvins, thrash veterans Slayer, and heavy metal icons Iron Maiden 


and Deep Purple, among others.] The band's guitarists, in discussions of their 


musical influences, have identified 'classic' metal guitar players such as James 


Hetfield, Dimebag Darrell and Tony Iommi, and Cronise has also described 


Billy Gibbons (of ZZ Top fame) as a "huge influence".[
