Sword, a Canadian Metal band, released two great albums.
Metalized in 1986 and Sweet Dreams in 1988.

Sword on Wikipedia

Metalized (1986)
Sweet Dreams (1988)
The Best of Sword (2006)


Members were Rick Hughes - vocals, Dan Hughes - drums, Mike Plant - guitar and Mike Larocque - bass.

During that period they toured succesfully with a.o. Motorhead and Metallica. Fans and even metal magazines often
wonderded why they did not make it to the top. Rick vocals for me are among the best in metal, high and powerful.

Give them a listen.
Of their first album: Follow The Wheel



Evil Spell



From their second: Sweet Dreams



Untill Death Do Us Part

Re: Sword

Hell Yeah ! Sword were awesome. I picked Sweet Dreams up on tape back when it first came out. I saw the video for "The Trouble is " on MTVs Headbangers Ball and went got and picked it up. I have been a huge fan ever since . I have both releases on CD now and only wish that they could have put out a couple more.

Great band \m/

Re: Sword

Giving the videos a listen, I am absolutely in love with this vocalist. It's very calming with the accompaniment of the guitar riffs and the rest of the band. Really enjoying what i'm hearing.
