DoomSword have found a new lead guitar player, called Sacred Heart.

DoomSword's lead guitar Guardian Angel is leaving the band because he is no longer able to conciliate it with the work in his older band Time Machine
If you feel you would be right for the place and you have a passion for Heavy Metal contact the band.

The release date for Doomsword's new album "Let Battle Commence" has been decided: it will be out on 29 september, for Dragonheart Records.

DoomSword's new album "Let Battle Commence" will be out in September 2003.

DoomSword planned some other live date:

• 2 March 2003, Athens, Greece
• 11 July 2003, Hamburg (Headbanger open air)
• 19 July 2003, Wurzburg (Keep it true! festival)

Further news will be put on the site as soon as they are available.

DoomSword's third album will be recorded in January, with the same line-up of the concert:

• Deathmaster: vocals
• The Forger: rythm guitar
• Guardian Angel II: lead guitar
• Dark Omen: bass
• Wrathlord: drums

The title will probably be "Let Battle Commence" and it will be about the first viking era in England, more specifically on the invasion of the Danish army led by Ivarr the Boneless and their conquest of York and the whole Northumbria.

The titles already decided are:

• "Deathbringer - Blood on my hands"
• "The Blood Eagle"
• "My name will live on"
• "Woden's reign"
• "Heathen assault (Burn Jorvik to the ground!)"
• "The siege of York"
• "In the battlefield"

The cover will be another Arbo's Painting.

After two albums and some years of adversities, DoomSword will finally be able to play live! The following dates have been decided:

• 22 October 2002, Ascoli Piceno (Italy),
• Somewhere around the first week of December 2002, Athens (Greece) (actual day can still vary, but the show will surely take place).

DoomSword have now a new drummer! He is called WrathLord and he is a former member of Fiurach.

I'm sorry to say that the vinyl version of "Resound the Horn" is late and we'll have to wait another couple of months before it will be out (for Metal Supremacy as stated in the previous news).

DoomSword have already begun the songwriting for the new album. Some subjects include the capture of York by the danish Viking chieftain Ivar the Boneless on 1 November 866 AD and a Conan the barbarian novel chosen by the Greek fans.

The vinyl version of DoomSword's new album "Resound the Horn" will be available by the end of the summer for Metal Supremacy (the same of Solstice, Twisted Tower Dire, Ritual Steel, Skullview and others).

DoomSword's "Resound the Horn" sold about 3000 copies since its release.

Due to some misunderstanding between DoomSword and the editor of the booklet, you'll find some printing errors. You can find the corrections in the new section called Errata Corrige

Rejoice, the new DoomSword album is out! NOW!! Defying fate, gods (and human's will) the mighty DoomSword succeded in bringing their masterpiece to the faithful one week before previously announced.

Here's a brief look to what German press wrote about Resound the Horn

• Rock Hard: 9.5/10
• Hammer: 6/7
• Metal Heart: 10/10
• Heavy oder Was!?: 11/12 (8th over 64 in Souncheck chart, just a step below R. J. Dio!!)

The new DoomSword's album Resound the Horn will be out on the 24th of June!

I've listened to the whole CD and it's simply GREAT!

Here some short opinions of the tracks:

1. Shores of Vinland: The mighty voice of Deathmaster is back!! It's VERY Bathory style...well it remembers me some song from Hammerheart...just guess!
2. Onward the battle: It's as "old" Manowar would have done: truly EPIC! Both in lyrics and music are really great. With no doubt it's one of my favourite tracks in the whole album.
3. The DoomSword: Like the title says: just Doom! This track is different from others in this album (it's like a jump back to the demo) but it's still great! The perfect hymn for DoomSword!
4. MCXIX: Just listen to it!!
5. For Those Who Die with Sword in Hand: Another great track. The solos in the "final" part are truly great! I'd listen to them for days!
6. The Early Days of Finn MacCool: One of the shortest track in the album ("just" 5 mins!!), but still great!
7. Resound the Horn: Odin's Hail: No comment (I just say it's my favourite song!!)

DoomSword have changed email address into: doomsword@123mail.org
All the mail sent to the old address since two months are completely lost, so, please, send them again to the new address.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
