"Warp Riders" est le troisième album studio du groupe américain de heavy metal The Sword et il est proposé ici au format CD. Cet album conceptuel se distingue par sa fusion entre stoner rock, heavy metal et éléments progressifs tout en racontant une histoire de science-fiction sur une planète lointaine. Grâce à ses riffs puissants et son écriture dynamique, « Warp Riders » a été salué pour des titres comme « Tres Brujas », « Lawless Lands » ou encore « Night City ». Depuis leur formation à Austin (Texas) en 2003, The Sword s?est imposé comme l?un des groupes phares du métal moderne ; leurs précédents albums tels que « Age of Winters » ou « Gods of the Earth » ont reçu un accueil critique enthousiaste et leur ont permis d?acquérir une renommée internationale. Le fabricant Pias/Mega/Gamma est reconnu pour la distribution mondiale de sorties musicales de haute qualité dans divers genres et soutient aussi bien les nouveaux talents que les artistes confirmés avec un standard de production remarquable.
Sporting a science fiction theme about a distant plant at war with itself, fighting the forces of good and evil, Warp Riders sounds like some long los...

It’s strange how a young band could sound as creatively tired as the Sword did on their second album, but there wasn’t any doubt that 2008’s tepid God...

Releasing a concept album is one of the diciest games a band can play - there's a thin, frail line between ambitious, intelligent storytelling and hap...
