Pirates! The "Alestorm" is on the high seas and its crew, four madmen, are ready to enslave you with their own brand of Scottish Pirate Metal! With their canons fully loaded and their rum-induced songs about raids, treasures, and women, ALESTORM delivers jolly drunken Battle Metal full of energy, power, and good humor. Join the crew and let the raid begin.

Raise up your pint of rum and take another swig!,
By
This review is from: Captain Morgans Revenge (Audio CD)
I've been waiting for this release for ages and I can assure you it is well worth the money! There are some brilliant tracks on this album, all of which blend the styles of folk and metal seamlessly to create a very enjoyable listening experience. Tracks such as wenches and mead, and nancy the tavern wench will have you singing along and bashing your tankard on the table, what better reason to buy the album than that!? :)Fans of turisas and bands of that style will like Alestorm, anyone who thinks pirates are cool or likes something abit different should also check these guys out!

PIRATE METAL!,
By
This review is from: Captain Morgans Revenge (Audio CD)
I heard of this band a couple of weeks before their album was released, and they are fast becoming one of my favourite bands. The whole album from start to finish is bloody brilliant. When I listen to an album, I sometimes sing along to one or two of the tracks. First time I listened to this album, I sang along to each of the tracks, and that is something I rarely do. But if I was to choose one track on the album as my favourite, it would have to be the title song: Captain Morgan's Revenge. While all the other songs on the album are fantastic, the title song is the one that really stands out for me.If you are a fan of Battle Metal, I would happilly recommend getting a copy of Alestorm's debut album. Judging by the calibur of Alestorm's debut album, from which I was simply blown away from the word go, and loved every single minute of it. I can't wait for the band to release their second album.

Scottish Pirate Metal,
By
This review is from: Captain Morgans Revenge (Audio CD)
The band proudly proclaim themselves to be 'Scottish Pirate Metal', and yup, that is (rather happily) just what you get. Nine songs (plus a cover, see later) of merry metal action, with some raspy pirate captain-esque vocals, cliche piratical lyrics ("With the power of ale, he cannot fail" is a personal favourite, along with "I want more wenches, more wenches is what I need") and hooks as large as any found on a pirate vessel in Peter Pan.It is best not to expect anything progressive, especially bold or truly diverse from Alestorm: but then, their piratical formula for music has enough life in it for a whole album at least, and so it doesn't matter. Two pseudo-ballads, 'Nancy the Tavern Wench' and 'Of Treasure' offer little more than a respite from the fun solos and 'ya-ha-has!' of the rest of the tracks, and meanwhile their branch into the world of cover tracks, 'Flower of Scotland', is the album's weakest point. Thus, my only concern for Alestorm is that they may end up as something of a one-trick pony. Even if that is the case, however, 'Captain Morgan's Revenge' is a mightily enjoyable trick all the same! Fans of bands such as Turisas and Hammerfall can't really go wrong with this: it's very difficult to dislike a band that sings about raising pints of rum, and trust me, you will soon be singing along with them. Buy this and enjoy the sound of timbers being well and truly shivered.
