The Sword, Saviours
Emo's, Tuesday, Aug 15
After conquering the better part of North America like a calculated game of Risk, local metal purveyors the Sword return home from the battlefields, ending its “Endless Winter” tour and commencing the release of a new Gladiator-style music video for the single “Freya.” Doom-metal masters Saviours unleash a “Holy Slaughter” of Sabbath sludge while locals Blackholicus cull Variations in Death Minor and San Marcos’ Disfigured, of the Extreme Texas Metal horde, casts the first stone. – Austin Powell
