The Sword - Fire Lances the Ancient Hyperzephyrians

The Sword are a four-piece metal band from Austin, Texas featuring J.D. Cronise, Kyle Shutt, Bryan Richie and Trivett Wingo. Their sound could be compared to High On Fire, Mastodon, and Saviours and is clearly very influenced by 70s rock such as Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath.

They struck success with their first album, 2006's 'Age of Winters' which found a big hit in the song 'Freya'. This song, 'Fire Lances the Ancient Hyperzephyrians' is from their new 2008 album, 'Gods of the Earth'. The new sound is a little different but along the same vein.

Black Mountain - Stormy High free mp3

Black Mountain are a rock band from Canada formed in 2004 led by Stephen McBean and Amber Webber. They are often classified as Indie Rock but I think they are more of a classic rock homage band than anything else. They do a pretty brilliant job of writing original songs while keeping their classic rock influences on their sleeves.

'Stormy High' is from their latest album, 'In The Future' which is really a great album and they practically have a different sound with every song. At times they sound like Black Sabbath, other times more like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Leaf Hound or David Bowie. Add in a dash of original sound and some great songwriting and you have a great record.

Probot is a collaborative project created by Dave Grohl where he teams up with famous metal musicians from the 80s and 90s who greatly influenced his style. The album brings together a lot of interesting artists including Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, Cronos of Venom, Max Cavalera from Sepultura and Soulfly, Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead, Mike Dean of Corrosion of Conformity, Lee Dorian of Voivod, Scott 'Wino' Weinrich of Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan and the Obsessed, King Diamond of Merciful Fate and Jack Black of Tenacious D.

This song, entitled 'Shake Your Blood' has Lemmy Kilmister on lead vocals and Scott 'Wino' Weinrich on guitar as well as Grohl playing the remainder of the instruments. Teaming up Wino and Lemmy leads to some amazing results and this song sounds every bit as good as a classic Motorhead song.
