The ''Gods of the Earth'' Tour was a worldwide concert tour by American heavy metal band The Sword. The tour, which was in support of the band's second album, ''Gods of the Earth'', began on March 23, 2008, ended on December 16, 2008 and included eighty-two shows played over six legs. During the tour, and continuing after its conclusion, The Sword have been supporting heavy metal veterans Metallica on their European Vacation and World Magnetic tours. ==Set lists== The set lists on the tour varied, but contained largely the same songs and sometimes similar ordering. Shows were commonly opened with one of the album's opening songs – "Celestial Crown", from ''Age of Winters'', or "The Sundering", from ''Gods of the Earth''. Sets mainly contained songs from ''Gods'', as a promotional tool for the album; however, there were many notable songs from ''Age'' featured, including "The Horned Goddess", "Winter's Wolves", "Iron Swan" and, most prominently, "Freya". The band also inserted the occasional cover into their sets, including Led Zeppelin's "Bring It on Home", played during closing song "Freya" at a few concerts; Kiss's "She"; and Faith No More's "Surprise! You're Dead!". The following is the set list from the October 10, 2008 performance at Slim's in San Francisco, California. It serves well as a sample set list for the tour: #"Celestial Crown"/"Barael's Blade" #"The Frost-Giant's Daughter" #"How Heavy This Axe" #"Iron Swan" #"Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians" #"Maiden, Mother & Crone" #"To Take the Black" #"Freya" #"The Black River"/"The White Sea" #"Winter's Wolves" #"She" (Kiss cover) #"The Horned Goddess" Where "Celestial Crown" was not used as the opening song, it was replaced with "The Sundering", and on rare occasions a different song such as "Iron Swan". "The Frost-Giant's Daughter", "How Heavy This Axe", "Fire Lances..." and "Maiden, Mother & Crone" were often played near the beginning or in the middle of the set. "Freya", "The Black River", "The White Sea" and "Winter's Wolves" were often included at the end; the former was often used as the closing song and the latter was sometimes used as the first song after "The Sundering". "The Horned Goddess" was, more often than not, played during the middle of the band's set. Other songs which made appearances include "Lords" and "Ebethron". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gods of the Earth Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
