One of Ground Control's favorite obsessions (seriously, look at all the related articles at the bottom), The Sword, has announced the perfect present for all the nascent metal fans in your family: a limited edition box set featuring Age of Winters and Gods of the Earth. The one-two punch comes with a limited edition sticker and will be available on Amazon on November 25th, as well as all of their forthcoming tour dates with Metallica. Yeah, The Sword and Metallica sharing a stage. Believe it:
