Maryland's Master Sword has spent the last few years building a following both online and locally with their unique take on celebrating Nintendo's Legend of Zelda series. Steering away from straight covers, they instead create original music that draws heavily from 70's/80's hard rock and heavy metal, with Zelda-inspired lyrics and melodies weaved fluidly throughout. Their goal is to make music tailored to fans of the series, but that can also be appreciated by anyone, anywhere due to the tight songwriting and catchy vocal melodies showcased in their music."What Battlelore is to Tolkien writing, Master Sword is to the Zelda games." - Script the Darkness"If you like power metal you owe it to yourself to get down with the Master Sword." - The Metal Observer
