The battle front of our eyes, we wondered if things were alright... like we wondered if the Svarga & Tverd folks didn't drink too much Vodka or something before the battle... and what about Yggdrasil, too much mead, maybe ? 0_o

Oh yeah and Nydvind ??? They got a special second chance but they could not take it! how sad.... Change teacher of combat, folks! Really!
because look at yrself : 98% damaged! Well, at least, Nydvind are still alive. ^^ (phew!)

Alba Gu Bràth 97% damaged, front of Nydvind, not bad for a new band...They just need some more training. They will do better in the future. I trust. :)




Who were the harder foes for our winners?

They are called ELDELVAR and NOT ELDEVAR like I could see...
They lost the battle within 82 votes for them! Eldevar were good fighters, and strong! ....but appearently, not enough...


Because NORDHEIM ARE THE HEROES OF THIS MONTH AND FACED AND FOUGHT THE 7 OTHER BANDS WITHIN BRAVERY !!




To remember the name of that young band, heres their bio :



Nordheim is a band of folk metal Viking from Lévis, Québec, Canada. It has been formed in 2006 so it is pretty new. It sounds like a bit of Korpiklaani and Ensiferum mixed with Wintersun and a big touch of Nordheim.

Warrax - Rythm Guitar and Lead Vocal

You cannot buy this demo but you can download it for free on their myspace

Also, await their first full-lengh the next year!
I can already imagine the good reviews...^^


Well,

Yesterday, at 16.47, Sword Chant got 2 years old!

How did Sword Chant develop since its first year ?!

Sword Chant found the opportunity to show oneself. And showing its enthousiasm helping artists.

-----> The first band's official forum assigned to Fejd.

-----> New politic about the band's battles, guests can vote & a new forum uniting those last.
A good way keeping the past battles to remember all the bloo... I meant all the brave winners from those battles. It seems to work fine.

-----> And lastly, a few days ago, another new forum was born, destinied to the artists this time.
Actually, that is the project I spoke here on november 4th. :) Check the portail of Sword Chant Forum for more infos.

This website is strong and has let it show, facing its bugs ennemies, winning each of its battle!
The future will be full of pitfalls, but it will give to Sword Chant one more opportunity to show its power to the world! \m/

Happy Birthday Sword Chant!

YES, You can vote!

...working on a project. it will be up as soon as possible.

One VERY AMAZING battle!

431 votes! - 9 bands 

And a constant 'n' big fight amongst Northern Sword & Abinchova against each other!

When we thought Northern Sword were about to win,
Abinchova faced all their 8 ennemies within BRAVERY!!!!
Strong warriors they are!!

too sad for the half of bands that were too young or too old for battle maybe...
...although they're also good musically!

But bands that could at least really fight were :
- Northern Sword (114 votes) ;
- KerecsenSólyom (91 votes) ;
- Cave Growl (31 votes) 
- and the winner and strong fighters band :




Who's Abinchova ? Remember that :

Abinchova is a Swiss Pagan Metal band. Formed in 2004 they play a symbiosis of thrash- and death metal-riffs with folkish melodies and violin, the lyrics are sung in both harsh and (female) clean vocals.
Abinchova have released one demo so far, which is free to download.

Edit : I'll wait a bit to announce the winner of the bands battle, time the merge's done.
I'm very sorry about that but these servers do not depend of me...

To be up as soon as possible XD - thank you!

Since early morning, the pic leech servers are alright. :)
We can see properly pictures.

The maintenance page is now raised by the sword! \m/
Everyone can access the forum without any problem!

Unfortunately, left some problems like pic leech servers appearently overloaded....
I use to it for the Sword Chant pictures... and the pictures are kinda slow to show up sometimes....

Due to the install of new servers, Sword Chant is victim of slow & unavailable site page times to times (maintenance thingy). Every forum from the firm meets these problems that are materials ones. They received material they needed but a bit later than they planned, today...

Thinking twice, & to the number of logged people in that right hour, they chosen to put all forums down for an hour tomorrow morning instead of today afternoon. (F time)
They also announced one update to a good evolution of their services, but planned after the fixed problem. Not more info by now.

We have to be patient again....



Thank you.
