So if anyone here lives close to where the shows are going to be and are fans of The Sword. You should definitely see them live if you haven't done so yet.
Also, as far as I know, neither the album art or track listing has been announced. Though they HAVE been playing new songs live for the better part of the year. They've been playing some other new songs. But I can't seem to find them on youtube at the moment.
