A few of our musician friends give their impressions of what we do and why you should look forward to our new album Shadow and Steel!
Featuring members of Lies, Inc., Steel Samurai, explosion sound, and Gunblade X.
Speaking of which, we only have around 2 weeks to go and more than a $1,000 left to raise! If you haven't considered backing, we could still use your help. All the money we raise goes straight into production costs for the album to make it sound really awesome. Any amount is appreciated, we even set up a tier for those of you who can only spare a dollar. Thanks in advance to everyone who contributes, love you guys!
About us: Maryland's Master Sword has spent the last few years building a following both online and locally with their unique take on celebrating Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series. Steering away from straight covers, they instead create original music that draws heavily from 70's/80's hard rock and heavy metal, with Zelda-inspired lyrics and melodies woven fluidly throughout. Their goal is to make music tailored to fans of the series, but that can also be appreciated by anyone, anywhere...
