New Yorks progressive metal band ’3′ have released their eagerly anticipated album ‘The Ghost You Gave to Me’, the band have also release a video single ‘Numbers’ from the album, which you can watch below.. This is the band’s sixth studio album since 1999 and is a massive step forward for the group. The 3 trademarks are intact – many musical peaks and valleys, bright and uplifting chorus’s alongside dark and heavy passages powered by Gartdrumm’s aggressive drumming and the acoustic/electric guitar duo of Joey Eppard and Billy Riker. The Ghost You Gave to Me is 3 at their most inspired.

The Sword Release New Single and Video Night City plus UK Tour

The third and final installment of the Warp Riders Trilogy has been released today by Texan metal warriors The Sword. ‘Night City’ was directed by Artificial Army and features Esteban Powell, best known for his role as Carl in the classic Dazed and Confused film.

The band are currently looking forward to touring the UK in May with the formidable skills of notorious intergalactic bounty drummer, Kevin Fender who joined the band last October when former drummer Trivett Wingo left the band for personal reasons. With Kevin now on board, The Sword will be touring the amazing Warp Riders album that was released in 2010 on Kemado Records. It’s The Sword’s first concept album, a science fiction maelstrom put to the storming, relentless riffage and pounding rhythms upon which the band has staked its reputation. It’s also their most flat-out, supercharged, adrenaline-pumping work yet, a chrome-plated war machine that lords over the blackened sky.

Enjoy Night City and see The Sword live at the following UK dates:

Sun 8-May-11 ENGLAND SOUTHAMPTON JOINERS

Mon 9-May-11 ENGLAND BIRMINGHAM ACADEMY 3

Tue 10-May-11 SCOTLAND GLASGOW CATHOUSE

Wed 11-May-11 ENGLAND MANCHESTER ACADEMY 3

Thu 12-May-11 ENGLAND LONDON GARAGE
