I also cropped the picture and added some effects in order to improve it.

They were joined by guitarist Mike Plant and bassist Mike Larocque in the first lineup of the band. They signed their first commercial contract in 1984 with "Aquarius Records". Sword released two albums for "Aquarius" in the late 80s; the debut album "Metalized" in 1986 and its follow-up, "Sweet Dreams" in 1988. They toured in the support slot for Motörhead and Alice Cooper, and the group was hand-picked to open for Metallica on the 1986 "Master of Puppets" tour. After disbanding, Rick Hughes formed "Saints & Sinners" and released a self-titled album with them. In 2006, "Aquarius Records" released "The Best of Sword", a compilation album, which was in stores on Tuesday, October 31. Throughout their career, Sword sold in excess of 180,000 albums. On February 17, 2011 it was announced that Sword had reunited and were rehearsing for live shows to come. The band is currently working on a new album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sword_(band) https://www.facebook.com/Sword.Metalized?fref=ts http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Sword/130
