Sellsword are a self described Mercenary Metal band – A symphonic fusion of power and traditional Heavy Metal hailing from the ancient lands of York.
Formed in 2013, Sellsword have shared stages across the UK with bands such as Unleash The Archers, Battle Born, Fellowship, Blaze Bayley, Dakesis to name but a few and have appeared at major festivals such as Power Metal Quest Fest, HRH Vikings, Breaking Bands, Renaissance Faire and are due to appear at Bloodstock Open Air 2026 on the Sophie Lancaster Stage.
Sellsword’s live shows boast an eye-catching set, forging stage with crowd interaction, a real sword mic stand and on occasion, working trebuchets! Each live performance, or Siege, is energetic, full of fun and audience participation.
With two acclaimed albums, “…And Now We Ride” and “…Unto The Breach” under their belts, Sellsword are very proud to announce that long awaited third album “…With Might and Vengeance” will be released on 31st July 2026!
Sellsword on …’WITH MIGHT AND VENGEANCE‘
‘…With Might and Vengeance’ is over an hour of pure Sellsword siegery of the highest order, with songs about bravery and defiance in the face of impossible odds, travelling from Roman Britain to medieval Scotland via an unsettling realm of sinister deities, the feasting tables of Valhalla, and *checks notes* mercenaries vs. vampires?! Oh, and there’s also a song about a massive trebuchet!
Sellsword’s unique brand of power metal is heavier and darker than it ever has been before whilst ramping up the focus on epic, catchy melodies, technically accomplished dual guitar solos and evocative storytelling.
