• Track Listing

With their sci-fi/fantasy themes and huge, bludgeoning riffs, this metal band from Austin, Texas gave Sabbath and Iron Maiden fans someone new to worship in the 21st century. The Sword’s new triple-vinyl collection "Conquest of Kingdoms" brings you three packed discs of rare and unreleased tracks, while the new 3-CD anthology "Chronology—2006–2018" pairs those sought-after rarities with key cuts from all across their discography.

On the CDs, you also get "Winter’s Wolves," "Iron Swan," "How Heavy This Axe," "Lawless Lands," "The Warp Riders," "Cloak of Feathers," "Dying Earth," "Empty Temples," "Early Snow" and more fan favorites from 12 mighty years of the Sword!
