Austin metal outfit The Sword are soon to be a big deal, as they will be opening for Metallica on their upcoming Death Magnetic tour. Their style of metal is an impressive representation of the genre, and is often compared to the works of Black Sabbath. At Stubb's on Saturday they will open for the stoner metal/retro-rock band Clutch, whose riffs still posess a true classic rock dimension, and Neil Fallon's pissed-off trucker vocals are as strong as ever.
