Captain Drake Flint Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Avast all ye scoundrels who enjoy the pirate songs a bit louder than the rest of ye crew... You may of heard of Running Wild and if you spend many a night chasing the horizon listening to them then try a band from over here in Scotland: Alestorm! Their album 'Captain Morgan's Revenge' can be plundered from Amazon and Play.com The Feared and Ruthless Captain Drake Flint "YARR! Roaming the seas, I take what I find; gold, wenches and mead, the pirates life is mine!"

Bilgemunky Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I just got my Alestorm album, and I do love it! Many pirate heavy metal bands are difficult for those unfamiliar with the genre - many, in fact, are so hard to understand that you wouldn't even know they're piratey unless you read the lyrics. No such trouble with Alestorm - you can hear the pirate in them through and through. And the music is fairly approachable too!

depinux Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Aye, I was shown Alestorm a while back by a friend. I happened to be metal hunting one day, saw theird album and without a whim bought the heck outta it! I love them! One of the better heavy metal bands I've heard "I'm no fencing master, but I had some schoolin' in the art of cold steel" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathaniel Jameson Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 As a heavy metal fan, I can't say how overjoyed I am to hear this. Excellent stuff. Oh Bill, I missed you... But I'll reload and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master RedBeard Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 And for something even heavier, don't forget about Swashbuckle Pirates of RenoPyrates Harbor (like a myspace for pirates) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathaniel Jameson Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 And for something even heavier, don't forget about Swashbuckle My biggest complaint with Swashbuckle is that they seem to sacrifice artistic quality for shock value.

Master RedBeard Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 My biggest complaint with Swashbuckle is that they seem to sacrifice artistic quality for shock value. They do tilt a bit that way, but they still have a few songs I enjoy (that I like to mix into my Alestorm play list). I hope as they age a bit as a group they may get past the need to "shock and awe", one can hope at least.
