Sealed 2012 Silver Foil Embossed Gatefold Original. “After Conquering The Realms Of Fantasy And Science Fiction, Classic Metal Revivalists The Sword Head Into A More Metaphysical Space On Their Fourth Album, Apocryphon. Though They Return To The Looser, More Groove-Heavy Sound Of Their Earlier Work, The Spacy Influence Of Warp Riders Can Still Be Felt Here And There, With Songs Like "Execrator" Bringing Occasional Flourishes Of Psychedelic, Effects-Drenched Guitar Work. All Over The Album It Feels As Though The Sword Are Bringing Together Everything They've Learned From Their Other Records, And With Its Combination Of Ambition, Heaviness, And Swagger, Titular Album-Closer "Apocryphon" Feels Like A One-Song "Best-Of", Bringing Everything The Band Has Done Before It Together Into A Singular Epic Metal Journey.” – Gregory Heaney, AMG
