Metal Mayhem ROC: Your go to source for everything metal.
Music:Music Interviews
Happy Thanksgiving Metal heads! Here is a pre Gobble day listen for your steamy little ears. The return of SWORD!
Formed in 1980 in Montreal, SWORD released their debut album Metalized in 1986 which was described as; Aggressive, Melodic, Loud and Rude.
They were hand-picked by Metallica to open the Quebec leg of the Master of puppets tour, Alice Cooper’s Canadian Return of the nightmare tour and then crisscrossed the UK with the Mighty Lemmy on Motorhead’s Rock’n’Roll tour.
It was followed by the Heavy but diverse Sweet Dreams in 1988. After a short US tour promoting the album, they started work on their 3rd album. All hell broke loose and a parting of ways ensued… Until 2011, when they reunited for a few select shows in Canada and Germany and found the urge to go back in the studio to finish where they had left off.
Fall off 2022 finds the Legendary Canadian metal band releasing their long-awaited third album, appropriately titled III, on November 25th, 2022 via Massacre Records. It will be the band's first studio album in 34 years.
I catch up with vocalist Rick Hughes and guitarist Mike Plant to get the back story of the 30 plus year gap between albums, How the new CD came about and my take on the new songs. We take a walk down heavy metal memory lane, discuss how they were ended up supporting Metallica in 1986 as well as other cool metal confessions.
A great unique conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.
