Fast, heavy, yet highly accessible, the combo remains in a state of constant development, without sacrificing their roots. Between Mordor and Arrakis, Steven King and HP Lovecraft – there’s always a story around the corner, waiting to be submerged in their unique sound. Those tales are told by mostly epic vocals, which are enhanced by occasional growls when needed to expand their world.

Having continuously received raving reviews since the very beginning, ‘Don’t Drop The Sword’ continue to pursue their goals with passion. With a new album on the horizon and many upcoming live shows, the future motto will remain: ‘Don’t Drop The Sword’!
