Captain Drake Flint Posted April 29, 2008 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!" Heavy Metal Pirate Brotherhood + nunc est bibendum +
Bilgemunky Posted April 29, 2008 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! I AM BILGEMUNKY
Captain Drake Flint Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 Yarr Bilgemunky I tip me hat in ye general direction! It be a pleasure t' see they 'av a followin' over th' pond...

MadL Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Avast! Ye knows ye been listen' t' Bilgemunky Radio too long when ye reads one o' he's postings 'n actually hears he's voice aloud in yer head!!! ~All skill be in vain if an angel pisses down th' barrel o' yer flintlock! So keep yer cutlass sharp, 'n keep her close!
depinux Posted June 9, 2008 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"
ThomasBlackthorne Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Alestorm definitely be on the top favorite bands of all time list with me. Running Wild is good too though.
shadoes Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Alestorm is pretty nifty. Will have to check out Running Wild though as I have not heard them. -Cheeks The Musical Blades
darkRose Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 take a listen to Captain Bog's and Salty...last time I heard 'em they were headed that a way...... The Enigmatic Rogue...and may always be<br /> <br /> "I kissed her... once with passion... once with love... and told her good bye"
Bright Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 Alestorm is pretty nifty. Will have to check out Running Wild though as I have not heard them. -Cheeks Aye keelhaul em
Nathaniel Jameson Posted November 10, 2009 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.
Master RedBeard Posted November 11, 2009 Posted November 11, 2009 And for something even heavier, don't forget about Swashbuckle Pirates of RenoPyrates Harbor (like a myspace for pirates)
Nathaniel Jameson Posted November 15, 2009 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. Oh Bill, I missed you... But I'll reload and try again.
Master RedBeard Posted November 17, 2009 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. Pirates of RenoPyrates Harbor (like a myspace for pirates)
