One of the foundations of the metal revival of the past ten years, Austin TX's The Sword have released two flawless slabs of vintage heaviness on Kemado Records, toured the world with Metallica, and were honored to grace the past three editions of Guitar Hero. This summer, the band casts its gaze to the stars for Warp Riders, their third full-length and their most ambitious effort to date. It is the band's first concept album and is fittingly grand in scope both lyrically and in terms of musical craftsmanship.

Care more than others think is wise.
Dream more than others think is practical.
Expect more than others think is possible."
