SWORD II | BRISTOL

The enigmatic Atlanta-based three-piece outfit, Sword II, share their debut album Spirit World Tour – a snapshot into the collective’s shared seminal life experiences over the past three years, with potent lyrics that explore refusal, love and rage, degenerates, fluidity, life force and psychological warfare. Starting their journey playing DIY and experimental shows across Atlanta, Sword II have built up a sonic arsenal of boundary pushing music and combining it with politically-charged lyrics.

Recorded between 2020-2022 at their Lakewood, Atlanta basement studio, which is located a few houses down from The Dungeon, where The Dungeon Family and Outkast made their first records, one of the band’s biggest sources of inspiration, Spirit World Tour was created over a period of unprecedented times across America and the world.
