The Sword Set Album Release, Ozzy Gig

The guys will also have the honor of being the sole opener for Ozzy Osbourne at the iTunes Roundhouse Festival in London on July 3rd. Their set will be recorded and available on iTunes in early July.

With a narrative arc that the band describes as "a psychedelic space opera that explores the temporal themes of death and rebirth," it's only fitting that the record's cover art is equally mind melting. Paying homage to authors that inspired the album's lyrics, artist Dan McPharlin created an image in the tradition of classic science fiction book covers. The Sword will also release a limited edition hexagon-shaped picture disc 12 inch single for "(The Night Sky Cried) Tears of Fire."

Fans that are eagerly awaiting to hear the new material will have their thirst quenched on July 6th, when first single "Tres Brujas" will be let loose online. The track is also the first part of a video trilogy helmed by former Sword collaborators Artificial Army, which will launch in August. The second and third chapters of the saga will be for "Lawless Lands" and "Night City."
