of course not!

Well actually I'm really totally new to them, just checked what was readily available online when I found out they're playing and remembered the name from ILF.
What I heard: is OK, nothing all too special, certainly rocks hard, groovy but nothing that tells me "must see"
But last year I saw http://www.dewolff.nu when I had never heard of them before, and they tore up the stage to such an extent that I immediately bought the vinyl afterwards even if it's been years since I've actually owned a recordplayer...

Later I heard studio recordings and my verdict.... yep, you guessed it, possibly even a bit less excited then above
So the question should have been "Is The Sword one of those bands?"
If so please let me know quickly, cause they're playing ridiculously early, like 1830 or something... do they go on for hours?
Another possibility is that Phantasmagorovich and I take our daughters to see some actual METAL:
