Alestorm

Voyage of the Dead Marauder   EP

(Napalm Records)



Riffing in the rigging. Scottish Alestorm's marriage of city-leveling metallic explosiveness and olde seafarers' sprightly airs is colorfully idiosyncratic to an epic degree. Through seven previous albums and before international arenas full of fist-thrusting devotees, the adventurous chord-slammers raised up towering adamantium slabs supplemented by swashbuckling gusto. In frontman/keyboardist Chris Bowes' full-lunged growling seethe the wraiths of a thousand rapacious buccaneers. 

Recommended: "Voyage of the Dead Marauder" (feat. Patty Gurdy), "Uzbekistan," "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate," "Sea Shanty 2," "Cock"

Videos: "Voyage of the Dead Marauder"    "The Last Sakatchewan Pirate"   "Cock"
