Formed in 2013, Sellsword have shared the stage with bands such as Unleash the Archers, Blaze Bayley, Moonsorrow, and Nanowar of Steel and have undertaken UK tours with Dakesis, Heidevolk, Battle Born and Fellowship. They have played major festivals such as Power Metal Quest Fest, HRH Vikings, Breaking Bands and Bloodstock Open Air.
Sellsword’s live shows boast an eye-catching set complete with banners and shields, a microphone stand made from a real sword, which cleverly matches the band’s distinctive logo, and even on some occasions, a working trebuchet! Each live performance, or Siege, is energetic, full of audience participation and above all, a fun experience for band and audience alike.
Sellsword on Saxon Steel:
“Saxon Steel” is our anthemic return to the battlefield after some time away and encapsulates everything Sellsword is about – many of our songs deal with the struggles against impossible odds and this one continues that tradition on a grand scale.
It takes a story – driven approach, placing the listener in the shoes of an Anglo-Saxon warrior the night before a fateful battle with invading Vikings!
An epic, catchy chorus, blistering guitar work and a solid rhythm all finished out with orchestral embellishments, an eye catching music video and massive production courtesy of our guitarist, James Stephenson, make this a mission statement for the future of the band!
