Sword (band)

Sword (band)

Sword was a Canadian heavy metal band that was active in the 1980s.

History

A quarter of a century ago, in a town south of Montreal called Saint Bruno, Rick and Dan Hughes decided they wanted to be in a heavy metal band. The singer and drummer respectively were joined by guitarist Mike Plant and bassist Mike Larocque to form the Hard rock/metal quartet known simply as "Sword".

Sword released two albums for Aquarius Records in the mid to late 80s; the thundering Metalized in 1986 and its equally heavy follow-up Sweet Dreams in 1988. With their fierce riffs and pummelling drums, Sword earned the respect of their metal peers and fans around the world. Not only did they tour in support of Motörhead and Alice Cooper, but the group was hand picked to open for Metallica on the 1986 ‘Master of Puppets’ tour.

In 2006, Aquarius Records released The Best of Sword compilation album, which was in stores on Tuesday, October 31st.
