THE SWORD And WITCHCRAFT Team Up For Special, Limited-Edition 12" EP

November 21, 2007

Dynamic, Austin, TX based quartet THE SWORD and respected Swedish rock band WITCHCRAFT have teamed up to issue a very special, limited edition 12" EP. Simply titled THE SWORD / WITCHCRAFT Split 12", the vinyl-only release is available via diverse New York City label Kemado Records and is in stores now.

Arguably two of the most exciting new bands to have formed in the last decade, THE SWORD and WITCHCRAFT are both well known for their unique reinventions of vintage proto-metal and hard rock. On this split 12" release, THE SWORD contribute the brand new track "Sea of Spears" and a cover of one of LED ZEPPELIN's finest and heaviest cuts, "Immigrant Song" (from "Led Zeppelin III"),while WITCHCRAFT deliver a never-before-available version of "You Bury Your Head" (once available on 2002's long-since sold out "No Angel or Demon" 7") and re-recorded, unreleased versions of the songs "Queen Of Bees" and "Sorrow Evoker" (both originally released on the band's 2005 album "Firewood").

The striking, eerie artwork for THE SWORD / WITCHCRAFT Split 12" has been posted online and can be viewed at this location. The EP is strictly limited to a pressing of 2500 copies and is available in a variety of colors, including 1000 on (dark) purple, 1000 on (dark) green and 500 on (dark) black.

WITCHCRAFT is currently in the midst of a sold out U.S. tour in support of its critically acclaimed new album "The Alchemist". THE SWORD is in the studio now, putting the finishing touches on its highly-anticipated sophomore full length, set to drop in early 2008 via Kemado. THE SWORD will launch a pre-release U.S. headlining tour on November 30 that will see the critically acclaimed metal band perform many of the brand new songs that will comprise the bulk of its new album.
