Made up of core members JD Cronise (guitar, vocals), Kyle Shutt (guitar), and Bryan Richie (bass), The Sword is straightforward, hard hitting, stoner rock at its finest. While they started out as a doom metal band, they evolved into a noticeably deeper hard rock band, never once shedding the Sabbath-inspired pentatonic riffs along the way. Not a band for every occasion, but one that kicks a ton of ass.Closing track: “The Wild Sky” from Used Future (2018)Patreonhttps://www.patreon.com/everyalbumeverMerchhttps://pandermonkey.creator-spring.com/Mike's EP:Pander Monkey on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple,Instagram:Mike @pandermonkeyAlex @everyalbumalexHistory Tom's stuff:Debut album on Bandcamp, Spotify, AppleSubstackWebsiteMike's Picks:Apocryphon (2012) — Best AlbumAge of Winters (2006) — Personal FavoriteHigh Country (2015) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlex's Picks:Age of Winters (2006) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteApocryphon (2012) — Worst Album, Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…Age of Winters (2006)Gods of the Earth (2008)Warp Riders (2010)Apocryphon (2012)High Country (2015)Used Future (2018)

There's no doubt ZZ Top trademarked Texas boogie. And over 30 years later, the Sword furthered the Lonestar shuffle's legacy by darkening it. The Austin outfit's 2006 debut Age of Winters combined the rhythmic bounce of Tres Hombres with the power and might of Master of Reality. The cross-pollination of Gibbons and Iommi continued in 2008's Gods of the Earth, with heavier right-hand picking and tempos shading towards thrash-y Priest and Thin Lizzy's "Emerald." Traces of proggy psychedelia, like 2112 Rush and late-'70s Genesis, turned 2010's concept album Warped Riders into a swirling voyage of sci-fi conquest and space exploration, with the music matching the otherworldly narrative. And 2012's Apocryphon saw the band settle into themselves, collectively cherry-picking all the things that worked on the previous three albums. Songs like "Cloak of Feathers" and the title track show their musical certainty. High Country, from three years later, showcases a once-singular-sounding band finding a home between Houston and Birmingham that could be best classified as classic mid-'70s hard rock. And 2018's Used Future—as its cover depicts—shows the band comfortably, calmly, confidently pressing the accelerator of their Bombshell Betty 1952 Buick Super Riviera and racing towards their own horizon. This fall 2021 run had the Sword members—J.D. Cronise (guitar/vocals), Kyle Shutt (guitars), Bryan Richie (bass/keyboards), and Santiago "Jimmy" Vela III (drums)—handling double duty, with a headline tour woven around opening shows for Primus. Before their top-of-the-bill show at Nashville's Mercy Lounge, Shutt, Cronise, and Richie showed PG how consolidating gear (and volume) has helped them sharpen their blade.

JD of the Sword talks with BallZach about their new album "Used Future", as well as why turning people off with his music doesn't concern him, and what he is currently reading (Trust me, that last part makes sense)!

Kyle Shutt (The Sword). Ahead of the release of the new album, Used Future, by The Sword, Kyle chats to Andrew about the album. 

The Necrocastcon's 150th Chapter! It's a star studded horror and metal spectacular!

And a special bonus, as Tom sits down with his YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING co-host Skip Novak and writer/publisher Jeff Burk (Deadite Press/Eraserhead Press) for a discussion on Edward Lee, crazy people in horror and other random things. All this plus Walt tells us how sharp The Sword's latest, Used Future is, Tom took a trip to an Uprising in the Pacific Rim and Scott gives the axe handle to somebody Ultramantis.

"I feel great man," enthused Kyle Shutt, guitarist for Austin, Texas stoner rockers The Sword ahead of their sixth studio album Used Future to be released on March 23. "It's a really fresh sound for us. We've been a band a really long time and I'm really excited to take this album out on the road. We wrote it mainly in the studio and I still don't know how to play it all yet (laughs). I'm really excited to jump into that aspect of things. When you make an album and you get ready to release it it's like you sit in front of the computer and send emails and stuff but my favorite part is when we finally get to leave all that behind and get out on the road and play some shows."While undoubtedly people will try to classify Used Future based on previous records, Shutt says the album and its contents can be summed up pretty easily. "I would call it rock and roll," he shrugged. "I've been listening to a lot of 60's and 70's music and I think that has come through in my guitar playing a little bit more rather than some of the acrobatic stuff I did in the past. It's all about trying to keep it interesting to ourselves too, you know what I mean? We've never been a band to make an album to please any certain people, we just made the albums that we wanted to hear and we really dig this one. It's a pretty uneasy album with dark topics that we deal with day to day. It's pretty fresh in that regard."After the sonic differences on previous album High Country, The Sword have added more structure and depth to their sound again on Used Future, with Shutt admitting the band needs to continue to grow musically for their own sanity as much as the fans."When we made Apocryphon, our fourth album, that was as far as we could have taken that style of heavy metal," he reflected, "and I think if we would have kept playing and writing songs in C all down-tuned I think that we would have probably lost interest in the band. We decided to tune our guitars up to E flat, mostly because... I was into it because I write a lot of the songs in E so us playing them in E flat made a lot more sense and also when we did JD was able to song lower instead of the other way around which you think it would be."To learn more about the album, including where the title came from, as well as reliving a bit of the past of The Sword and the turning point in the band's music that almost brought it all crashing down tune in to the below audio interview.Kris Peters

**2:35 Why would you want to play in a known setting?** You know and love the world and its setting. You want to explore ideas, concepts or characters from the main setting. You think your players could make a better plot than the original. **6:35 How to get the feel of the setting?** Check for the tropes of the specific setting, from [TV Tropes](http://tvtropes.org/). Example from Star Wars: * The heroes are usually outlaws of some sort, spies, criminals, rebels, smugglers, mercenaries etc. * Everything is dirty and mechanical. Only the villains have a clean and slick design. [Used Future](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UsedFuture) * No major cities and major systems. Most of the plot is in the rim or “outback”. [Cowboy Bebop](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/CowboyBebop) Not just tropes, but also themes: * Family ties * Trust and betrayal * Good vs evil, order vs chaos * Old order vs new order 14:40 Where and when to inject your game into the known setting? Some ideas: Alternative history; side quest or side characters in the central story; the distant past or future; far far away from where the main plot takes place. Maintaining a balance between enjoying the verse, the experience of the known, and not being overrun by the rigidity of canon. Alternate history - it's the same story, but not the same story. Considering the point of divergence vs the start of the game. **22:40 Who should you play? Who shouldn't you?** Who not to play? The original protagonists. The more established a character is, the less you can give of yourself to it. It becomes acting, less playing. Who to play? Similar but different. The original protagonist after a drastic change. The brother of, a clone of. Play a group that keeps the dynamics and archetypes of the source. **26:00 What is the same? What is different?** [Microscope](http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/91183/Microscope?affiliate_id=29668), highly recommended, for a variety of reasons. **29:10 Star Wars RPG systems** Uri goes on a tangent. **31:40 How to use tributes, references and spoilers warning?** Tributes are awesome. This is part of the reason you're playing in this settings. Uri's rule of references - a reference is good if it still works if you didn't get the reference. Always make sure that things make sense even if no one gets the reference. **34:45 Summary** **35:10 Taking the load off** Eran: Venture Forth now available to buy.
