Puis petit \u00e0 petit c&rsquo;est les accents Sabbathiens qui prennent le pas, notamment dans le chant, non pas dans la voix de Cronise (qui ne plagie en aucun cas le p\u00e8re Osbourne), mais plut\u00f4t dans son mix, parfaitement en retrait face aux assauts de gratte tranchants. En effet, c&rsquo;est bel et bien la paire de grattes qui se taille la part du lion dans les haut-parleurs, par des saccades de riffs secs et lourds, altern\u00e9s avec des leads vifs, le tout baignant dans une mer de cymbales. The Sword ou le crossover stoner 70&rsquo;s \/ metal 90&rsquo;s d\u00e9complex\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Une fois qu&rsquo;on a fini de se prendre la t\u00eate pour cataloguer le groupe, la qualit\u00e9 des compos prend le pas : on est forc\u00e9ment emport\u00e9 par ces cavalcades de riffs rugissants, portant des morceaux \u00e9piques, grandiloquents, mais jamais pr\u00e9tentieux ! Belle perf, car l&rsquo;on pourrait tr\u00e8s vite tomber dans le ridicule \u00e0 cet exercice. Mais gonfl\u00e9s de sinc\u00e9rit\u00e9, The Sword s&rsquo;en sort la t\u00eate haute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Ce disque conviendra tout particuli\u00e8rement aux fans de stoner \u00ab\u00a0scandinave\u00a0\u00bb \u00e0 la Spiritual Beggars (derni\u00e8re g\u00e9n\u00e9ration) : un stoner qui se revendique directement issu du Heavy Metal. Les fans de doom puristes en revanche passeront leur chemin : m\u00eame si des passages lugubres accompagnement ces 10 titres, les rythmes ont un peu trop rapides pour rentrer dans la d\u00e9finition du doom tel que pratiqu\u00e9 ces derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>De mani\u00e8re assez surprenante, The Sword sonne comme un groupe de trad-doom mix\u00e9 \u00e0 du heavy metal, dans la directe veine europ\u00e9enne ou scandinave&#8230; Original pour un groupe de doomsters auto-proclam\u00e9s&#8230; issus du Texas !
