Dr M it captures them perfectly, the sword is underrated and I am stoked at the fact they just did another Levitation show. I hope to hear more and more music from them for years to come. Favorite track: Empty Temples.

Austin, TX doom metal legends, The Sword, welcome in the Twelfth vinyl release in the Live at LEVITATION series. Earlier this year the band announced they would reunite for a one-off concert on November 3 at the 2024 edition of LEVITATION in Austin to the joy of metal fans all over the world. In celebration of the band’s return, 7 live versions of key tracks from the band’s discography have been unearthed from the Levitation archive, each one a time capsule of the band’s renowned live shows. This limited live release showcases the bands appearance at LEVITATION 2015 and 2021, now immortalized on beautiful limited colored vinyl.

"With the band originating in the great city of Austin, a city that's proven to be a nucleus for a wide range of distinct and eclectic musical acts, it only felt natural to be included on the Levitation roster in 2015 and again in 2021, adding our own flavor to its diverse landscape. What an honor it has been to be included at such a cool festival. We've had two memorable sets so far, playing alongside some truly amazing bands. When we began entertaining the thought of returning to the stage after a two year hiatus, playing a reunion set at Levitation became the only appropriate solution, to play in front of the fans in Austin Texas, where it all began. The tracks we selected from each performance for this Live at Levitation vinyl release captured a special energy and enthusiasm that only the crowds at Levitation could provide. It truly means a lot to share these memories with everyone and be included in this series. See you soon Austin!" - The Sword

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points. This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
