Reflection Eternal “Ballad of the Black Gold” from Sam Ellison on Vimeo.

So some new music from two artists I really like.
the Sword has a new MP3 and some tour dates..

press release..

“With merely six weeks away from the release of their third full-length, Warp Riders (August 24th; Kemado), The Sword are finally ready to give a taste of their eagerly awaited new material. Click below to hear the album’s first single “Tres Brujas” in exchange for an email address (embed code for widget is at bottom). The scorching, groove-heavy number is proof that the band has successfully expanded into new territory while maintaining their cherished heaviness. As the second track on the album, and the first with lyrics, “Tres Brujas” is also the first chapter in the epic sci-fi narrative that spans Warp Riders.

The song encapsulates the “space opera meets post-apocalyptic western” tableau of the record, where dualistic themes such as “light vs dark” and “organic vs artificial” are explored. The metal stalwarts will reveal the plot in more detail through a three-part video saga beginning with the “Tres Brujas” video, followed by clips for “Lawless Lands” and “Night City.”
