Alestorm (Official Thread)

Running through their second album and loving the instrumental 'No Quarter'. Yarr Harr!

Love, love, loooooooove Alestorm. They brighten me up no matter what mood I'm in and have some genuinely good songs (Captain Morgan's Revenge, Keelhauled), and a nice amount of catchy basic yet fun numbers (Nancy the Tavern Wench, Drink). They have a new album out on Friday 01 August called Sunset of the Golden Age, which includes this delightful song:



They're also touring the UK and Ireland this autumn with Lagerstein, Redrum and Rainbowdragoneyes. Tempted to go to the Birmingham one.

Awesome band, caught them at Sonisphere this year, they were brilliant.

 

[Sharp Dressed Man]

Great, fun, band! My favourite track is "Death Throes of the Terrorsquid". From 4:16 and onwards where it turns black metal is simply amazing!



On a sidenote, they have a new album called "Sunset on the Golden Age" coming out soon!

^^The cover art is great as usual for anything Alestorm puts out.

They definitely are a band that picks me up when I listen to their music, there is always room for bands that don't take themselves too seriously in my collection and Alestorm fits right in that niche.

Indeed. It's wonderful to see them on stage with their own minibar in front of the drummer and the keyboardist knocking back a good few bottles of beer getting progressively more drunk They also at the concert they filmed in Melbourne a year or two ago made the crowd split down the centre before ordering them to charge at each other before Captain Morgan's Revenge, so you just had a sea of drunk 20-something Aussies dressed up as pirates mock rioting with each other. Brilliant!

That sounds like a great show to me Matt.
