The Sword - Age Of Winters Album Cover

Okay, we’ll start off as usual with some banter.

Though this time it is related to the topic at hand, a review of the CD release Age Of Winters from Austin, Texas stoner metal band The Sword. I am going to admit when I first heard the name of the band and the CD title I assumed it was going to be more icy tundra Nordic Viking Black Metal from Finland or Norway.

Wow, was I wrong! ;)

On the complete opposite hand (as mentioned above) this is sludgy stoner doom metal from Texas.

So far the bands reviewed and interviewed here at Metalpedia have been of the Death, Black and Grind metal nature.

We are proud to announce the first article not in one of the aforementioned genres. It’s quite a leap too. ;) This time we are going to review the new release from Stoner Metal band Nebula, released by Liquor And Poker Music entitled Apollo.

Okay, so I will admit I have not been a fan of this band for very long. Though over the last year or so I have had the opportunity to listen to a few of their releases. I dug it. It was hip and melodic and has a certain feel to it that hits just the right spot when the listener is in the right frame of mind. It reminds me a bit of classic rock with a touch of metal as well as a really spacy ambiance.
