| | Description: | 2015 release, the fifth album by American heavy metal band The Sword. The album was recorded at Church House Studios in Austin, Texas with producer Adrian Quesada. Over the course of four weeks, they hammered out the album's 15 tracks in the old converted church. High Country became new territory for The Sword, and they began doing things differently. That approach included more attention to backing vocals and harmonies, implementing more synthesizers and percussion elements, and tuning to E-flat instead of all the way down to C. As a result, the guitars stand out as more vital and vibrant than ever. The Sword's impact continues to expand. 2012's Apocryphon debuted at #17 on the Billboard Top 200, marking their highest entry on the chart. Since first emerging with 2006's Age of Winters, the group has been extolled by everyone from Rolling Stone and The Washington Post to Revolver and Decibel. Metallica personally chose them as support for a global tour, and they've earned high-profile syncs in movies including Jennifer's Body and Jonas Åkerlund's Horsemen. However, High Country is the band's biggest, boldest, and brightest frontier.Very similar to US digipak version except for Ingrooves info.
Mixed at the Magpie Cage (Baltimore, Maryland).
Mastered at Sun Room Audio (Cornwall, New York).
Recorded March-April 2015 at Church House Studios in Austin, Texas with additional recording at Level One Sound (Austin) and High Country Atelier (Asheville, North Carolina).
? and © 2015 Razor & Tie Recordings, LLC. Marketed and distributed by Razor & Tie Direct, LLC."High Country" is a studio album by the American heavy rock band The Sword, here in the classic CD format and released under the label Razor & Tie. On this record, The Sword shift from their earlier, doom-laden, riff-centric sound toward a more psychedelic, groove-oriented hard rock approach while still retaining their trademark powerful guitars and robust rhythm section. The songs are more concise, hook-driven and melodically accessible, blending elements of classic 70s rock, stoner rock and modern heavy music into a cohesive and atmospheric whole. Rich guitar tones, warm analog-style production and driving beats give "High Country" a distinct, organic feel that invites repeated listening, whether you focus on the intricate riffs or simply enjoy the infectious grooves.
Thematically, "High Country" evokes wide-open landscapes, mysticism and a sense of restless motion, pairing heavy riffs with a subtly trippy, almost cinematic mood. The CD format emphasizes the album as a complete journey, encouraging listeners to experience the sequencing of tracks and dynamic flow from start to finish. Fans of heavy rock who appreciate both weight and melody will find a lot to discover here, from punchy, up-tempo tracks to more laid-back, atmospheric moments that showcase the band's expanded sonic palette.
The Sword have established themselves as one of the key names in contemporary heavy rock and metal, known for powerful live shows and albums that helped fuel the resurgence of classic-influenced heavy music. With a career spanning multiple full-length releases and extensive touring, they have built a loyal international fanbase and earned critical respect for their tight musicianship and imaginative songwriting. "High Country" represents a confident step in their evolution, demonstrating that the band can broaden their sound without losing their identity.
Razor & Tie, the label behind this release, was known for a diverse catalog that ranged from rock and metal to pop and other genres, often working closely with artists who value strong production quality and thoughtful presentation. By supporting bands like The Sword, Razor & Tie helped bring distinctive heavy music to a wider audience while maintaining a focus on artist development and long-term careers rather than short-lived trends. This CD edition of "High Country" reflects that approach, presenting the album in a format that highlights its sound, artwork and conceptual unity. | | | No. of tracks: |
