Lamb of God have consistently accompanied their persistent savagery with technical songwriting and jaw dropping musicianship. Their breakthrough disc, Sacrament was a combination of pummeling thrash, gripping hardcore and thrilling classic metal, the album is searing, bold and relentless, probing dark unexplored regions of aggression and emotional decay rivaled by none. By the end of 2006 the band had shattered every goal most metal bands can expect to attain. The band and the overwhelming grass roots following would no longer go unnoticed. Sacrament and Lamb of God were nominated for a Grammy in best category of best Metal Performance.

In January of 2007 the band appeared on the Late Show with Conan O'Brien. In the UK the band was honored with 5 nominations at the Golden Gods awards and the band went on to tour the world three times over the next 2 years, finishing off the touring cycle headlining arenas across the US in December of 2007. The band has most recently released a DVD Walk With Me In Hell, which gives fans an uncensored insight into life on the road with Lamb of God.

THE SWORD is a colossal, high-energy powerhouse. Utilizing a potent combination of intense songwriting chemistry, eye-opening creativity and talent and a distinctly unique vision, THE SWORD is, without question, one of heavy music’s most electrifying new bands. Conceived in Austin, TX in 2003, THE SWORD took the form of a cohesive quartet in early 2004 when guitarist / singer J.D. Cronise, guitarist Kyle Shutt, bassist Bryan Richie, and drummer Trivett Wingo joined forces. Inspired by such legendary names as SLEEP, SLAYER and THE MELVINS, the four-piece immediately began to construct the songs that would soon comprise their initial demo recording.

Lamb of God and The Sword are currently touring with Metallica across Canada and will be making a special one off stop in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, December 6, 2008.
