Description
The Sword. Apocryphon. Razor & Tie Records(CR00586). 2022. 10th Anniversary Edition. Cosmic Yellow Swirl Colored Vinyl Album.
Guitarist Kyle Shutt has described the album as "real big sounding, real live and huge sounding", contrasting it with the "technically perfect" Warp Riders, and has also noted that "A lot of the songs are more mid-tempo, but still impossibly heavy". Apocryphon is the first album by The Sword to feature no instrumental tracks.
Writing a review of the album for website AllMusic, critic Eduardo Rivadavia has praised the musical styles of Apocryphon, praising the group for their tendencies to "consistently repeat their choruses for maximum cranial penetration, keep guitar solos melodic, sizzling but to the point, and prioritize leaner working frames". Speaking about the songs "Cloak of Feathers", "The Hidden Masters" and "Hawks & Serpents" in particular, he has noted that the album contains "a smattering of classic rock elements", comparing the sound to the bands Thin Lizzy and Black Sabbath. In a review for Loudwire, Chad Bowar had similar points to make, praising the band's "songwriting prowess" and claiming that "the songs are more direct while still leaving room for some experimentation and jamming". Francois Marchand of The Vancouver Sun compared the music to that of Black Sabbath, Sleep and Lynyrd Skynyrd, praising the electronic elements on the album as well as the straightforward nature of its compositions.
Gatefold sleeve has silver foil stamping used on both front and back. Printed inner sleeve with lyrics.
