Band Line Up 2018
Sellsword are a self-described "Mercenary" power metal band hailing from the Viking city of York, UK. Formed in 2013, they have been on a continuous gig campaign; laying siege to many venues across the United Kingdom. During their time, they have shared the stage with bands such as Unleash the Archers, Blaze Bailey, Moonsorrow, Manegarm & Red Rum, and have undertaken a UK tour with Dakesis in 2016 and a UK tour with Heidevolk in 2017.
During this time of touring and performing, Sellsword worked on songs for their first album, "...And Now We Ride", which was released in the winter of 2016. This 13-track epic contains everything from mid-tempo classic heavy metal tracks to blazing symphonic power metal shred-fests, and lots in between! Lyrically, it deals with the themes of battle, betrayal, besieging & vengeance. It has already seen immense interest from fans around the world, and high praise from the online metal press.
Currently Sellsword are in the late writing stages of their follow-up album and have recently been teasing audiences with new upcoming unreleased tracks. Huzzah!
"We are truly honoured to be asked to besiege the New Blood stage at the mighty Bloodstock festival. We promise to bring tales of battles and kings, and assault many eardrums with our powerful anthems of glorious steel. HAIL BLOODSTOCK! HUZZAH!"
