Austin, Texas, fantasy-metal outfit the Sword issued third album Warp Riders in August, and just in case you were on vacation and missed it—maybe you were standing in line for the new Harry Potter ride at Universal Studios Orlando—the concept behind the record is, well, let’s consult the dungeon master’s guide/press release:
“Warp Riders tells the tale of Ereth, an archer banished from his tribe on the planet Acheron. A hardscrabble planet that has undergone a tidal lock, which has caused one side to be scorched by three suns, and the other enshrouded in perpetual darkness, it is the background for a tale of strife and fantasy, the battle between pure good and pure evil.”
The video for “Tres Brujas” has everything: swords, sorcery and a kickass spaceship at the end.
