Age of Winters is the debut album by American heavy metal band The Sword, released in 2006. This album combines heavy metal, doom metal and stoner rock in a powerful mix that positions the band within the retro metal movement of the 2000s. Recorded at Folkvang Studios in Austin, Texas, it offers a megalithic guitar sound that incorporates both visceral and literary elements, with a dark, mythical atmosphere that transports listeners into an enchanting world. Critics unanimously praised it: AllMusic called it an excellent introduction to retro metal with refreshing riffs, while PopMatters found it a headbang-worthy beast and The Austin Chronicle praised its literate and raw power. The album, produced by singer J.D. Cronise, runs over 42 minutes and was later reissued in various editions, including a 20th Anniversary version with new mastering. The reception was overwhelmingly positive, with high scores from AllMusic, Blender and PopMatters, establishing it as a modern metal classic. The Sword thus showcased their prolificacy and reputation in the metal scene, attracting fans of bands such as High on Fire and Witchcraft.
