Here’s a brandy new video from those Scottish Masters of Pirate Metal, Alestorm. Who knew you could write a 7 minute epic about killing a giant squid.
Revenge is dish best served deep fried.
I totally missed last week’s Friday morning metal. So I’ll add that later. In the meantime, here is probably the best mashup of Alestorm’s cover of Lazy Town’s “You Are a Pirate,” put back over the original video. Because being a pirate is alright with me.
Alestorm, those masters of the genre known as Scottish pirate metal, have a new album coming out, titled Back Through Time. They also just released one of the tracks, Shipwrecked:
Shipwrecked by Alestorm
These guys shred and if this track is any indicator, the album is going to be just as amazing as their others. Apparently they got actual brass and strings to fill out the parts that were usually played by keytar, and it totally gives the songs a different polish than their older tracks.
