The Sword are legendary for their uncompromising mixture of metal, stoner and doom. On the 15(!) Tracks from their new album vibrate their guitars more vividly than ever before, while the backing vocals and harmonies are given a little more attention and synthesizer and percussion elements are used more. »High Country« was produced by Adrian Quesada at Church House Recording Studio in Austin, Texas. Frontman John Cronise: "I want to make positive, euphoric music. ›High Country‹ has moments of gloom and thoughtfulness - like everything I'm likely to write. But at the end of the day, I want to put a smile on people's faces."  CD2015New
