The Sword are streaming a brand new song from their upcoming album High Country titled “Empty Temples”. Guitarist Kyle Shutt offered on the track:

‘Empty Temples‘ could be considered our mission statement for the record. We’ve shed our old trappings and embraced a livelier, more upbeat approach to songwriting while still maintaining the vision we shared when we started this band over a decade ago. High Country has more flavors than any of our previous records, everything from folk to pop to boogie to straight-up rock, and proves that we are the other ‘Little Ol’ Band From Texas.’”

The new effort hits stores on August 21st through Razor & Tie. Pre-orders can be found here.
