Thanks to Earth worshippers Sunn O))) and the scads of other low-end drone specialists who have cropped up in recent years, the band's once-misunderstood sound has come to be seen as pioneering, opening the way for a range of experimentalists operating at the crossroads of metal, improv, and avant-garde rock. The thing is, Carlson doesn't have much interest in that sound anymore.

Dylan Carlson is positively wanking, though his dynamics suggest caveman repetition more than Guitar Center tech. At its best, Sword is hypnotic and crude like prime Crazy Horse. (OK, maybe not as good as all that.)
