The Sword Giving Fans Old School Bonus With New Album

09/19/2012
. The Sword will be going old school with the October 22nd release of their fourth studio album, Apocryphon.

Razor & Tie sent over word that the band is partnering with independent record stores nationwide for a special promotion: when fans buy the new album Apocryphon (on CD or vinyl), they will receive a free, limited-edition, hand-numbered version of the new Sword album on cassette tape (while supplies last). You can find a list of stores here.

In support of the album, The Sword will kick off their North America tour on October 29th with support from bands Gypsyhawk (entire tour), Eagle Claw (October 29th through November 24th) and American Sharks (December 2nd through December 18th).
