The Sword Unveil Fall 2012 U.S. Tour Dates

Texas metal band the Sword have just announced a U.S. headlining tour beginning in October. The Sword are set to release their fourth studio album, 'Apocryphon,' on Oct. 22, and will hit the road with Gypsyhawk, Eagle Claw and American Sharks.

The Sword have been riding high since the release of their second full-length, 'Gods of the Earth,' in 2008, snatching supporting spots that included dates opening for Metallica. The band hit the studio once again to record 'Warp Riders,' the Sword's most successful album to date. The Sword will be unleashing their Razor & Tie debut, 'Apocryphon' next month.
