Italian epic/doom metal band formed in 1997, known for blending doom and epic metal with mythological and historical themes; reviews emphasize theatrical vocals (Deathmaster) and epic songwriting.

Reviews on DeBaser describe Doomsword as a five-member Lombard/Italian band. Vocalists mentioned in reviews include Deathmaster and earlier Nightcomer. One review notes the axeman Maurizio "The Forger" departed for personal reasons. The label Dragonheart is named in a review as having handled the recording of My Name Will Live On.

DeBaser hosts a handful of appreciative reviews for Doomsword highlighting their blend of doom and epic metal, mythological/historical themes, and Deathmaster's theatrical vocals. Reviews praise songwriting and atmosphere while sometimes criticizing production. Key albums discussed include Doomsword, Resound the Horn, Let Battle Commence, The Eternal Battle and My Name Will Live On.

For:Fans of epic/doom/viking metal, listeners interested in mythological and historical metal themes.

 This is the true masterpiece of DoomSword, solemn and filled with dark decadence, I don’t want to take anything away from the equally excellent "Resound The Horn," but the stylistic coordinates here are different and vastly superior, an opinion shared by all fans of this very valid group which, like it or not, has brought back to prominence the name of Epic Metal internationally.

 What really makes this CD beautiful is Doomsword’s ability to intelligently mix doom and epic metal without letting one of these two elements prevail over the other, rendering the CD too boring or short-lived.

 We are not faced with a masterpiece and probably not even the band’s best work, but "Let Battle Commence" represents a stronghold for all those who love this niche genre.
