The Sword supporting 'High Country' on tour with Royal Thunder & more (dates, song streams)

The Sword

Retro riffers The Sword will release their new album High Country this week via Razor & Tie. If you’ve yet to hear them, you can check out four of its tracks below.

The band will support the album on a lengthy tour this fall, divided into two legs. The first leg has support from Kadavar (who also have headlining shows and a new album) and All Them Witches (ditto), and the second has support from Royal Thunder (whose new album came out in the spring).

The run with Royal Thunder hits NYC on December 1 at Webster Hall. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (8/21) at 10 AM.

UPDATE: We’re giving away a vinyl/CD/t-shirt bundle of The Sword’s new album.

All dates are listed, with those four tracks, below…

The Sword -“The Dreamthieves”

The Sword – “Empty Temples”

The Sword – “High Country”

The Sword – “Mist & Shadow”
