The Sword Return With 'Warp Riders'
The Sword set to release third studio album in late August
Good metal is hard to come by. We saw a slew of terrible bands dressed up as demented creatures in the 90s and for a long time it seemed like metal had turned into a joke. Of course Gwar is omitted from this statement. However in recent years we've seen a revival of metal. Bands like High on Fire, Isis, Pelican and Mastadon have brought back the genre and given it a good name again. Texas natives The Sword have also restored metal's name with their epic heaviness. Now the band is back with a new album and hoping to push good metal to the masses. Warp Riders is the band's third studio album and offers a different side of the band's overall talent. This marks the Sword's first concept album and expands the band's sound by exploring hard rock. But don't worry, Warp Riders is still as heavy as the band's last two albums. The album follows the story of a sci-fi space opera, focusing on death and rebirth in the outer limits. It doesn't get more epic that that. Warp Riders comes out August 24 on Kemado Records. Put in on your "to buy" list now.

Fang Island Annouce Tour With The Flaming Lips
Fang Island hits the road with The Flaming Lips, among other tour dates.
Fang Island began as an art school project at the Rhode Island School Of Design (which is actually the starting place for tons of bands, including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Talking Heads) and has blossomed into a group that, well, is about to hit the road with The Flaming Lips in July. But Fang Island has big plans before their Flaming Lips tour, as they have quite a few days starting as early as tomorrow...
