Band: Alestorm
Song: F*cked With An Anchor
Album: No Grave But The Sea (2017)
Genre: Pirate Metal, Folk Metal
Language: Strong
I'm so freaking angry right now. I had planned on doing a serious (or as serious as Alestorm gets) song, but then I saw this godforsaken band had a new album. I mean, I was pleased for a second, cause I like hearing new music, but then I heard the most Scotish song I've ever heard in my life. I can't even deal with this, this is straight BS and I need some help.
Like, I was hoping for a song that was a pirate twist on the Cannibal Corpse song F*cked With A Knife, and instead I have this stupidly catchy song that I will forever think of when this band comes to mind.
I can't really be surprised either, cause this is just their freaking Scottish attitude showing strong like I guess I should expect.
But yeah. Alestorm is a generally great band. Pretty typical Folk Metal with a heavy pirate/nautical slant. Enjoy.
So as a daily blog I'm not going to take today off like most all of the other blogs are gonna do. Instead I'm gonna run a runner up on Sunday since there's not really any extra letters to slip in, ya know?
Alestorm. Pirate Metal band. They sing about booze.
The thing that's really cool about these guys is the way they get into everything. They have a rather good sense of humor about things, dress like pirates, sing about booze and pirate things, and are all in all a good band on top of that.
Honestly the main reason these guys got runner up here is because I don't have too much to say about them, ya know?
To all my A to Z peeps, have a good day off, see ya tomorrow.
You mar remember last time I posted these guys. Pirate Metal band? Yep, that's who this is.
This is a cover of that one Taio Cruz song, and I'll say that this is a surprisingly easy song to imagine Alestorm to have written. I mean, it's all about booze and stuff, it kinda fits. Other than some mild tweaks to the writing style of the original I would have called this just another one of Alestorm's songs.
Happy New Year all! It's been a fun 3 months so far, hasn't it? I feel like the new year should be heralded in by the best of last year though, so let's get to it.
Let's preface this by saying that I'm not really an authority on all music since my primary focus was with metal this year, but I still think this will be a good list.
No let us start in no particular order.
Septicflesh - Titan
I found these guys some time last year and they became my favorite artist for something like a good 6 months, which for anybody familiar with my music tastes you know that's actually a really long time to hold the top spot.
Demon Hunter - Extremist
Demon Hunter is a band that I've loved since I first was introduced to metal. They currently hold the award of "That band I always wonder why I stop listening to them ever" that other bands have had till I listened to them again. These guys are my favorite band ever so far and I think you should give this album a listen, because it's legitimately amazing.
Cannibal Corpse - A Skeletal Domain
You may remember this album gracing the list as my first ever album review. It still holds a place as a really good album and one of the best I heard last year. To be totally fair, I missed a lot of stuff from last year, but this is still good stuff if you like Death Metal.
Whitechapel - Our Endless War
I was on a Whitechapel kick when this album came out, so I got it. It's still Deathcore though and that doesn't appeal to a lot of people. As an album though it's not too bad. Some kinda dumb sounding lyrics, but the music makes up for it.
Alestorm - Sunset on the Golden Age *I was unable to find the full album, so a single song will have to do.
I didn't even realize this was a new album when I bought it last month, but as it turns out this was a really good choice to make. It's a solid Alestorm album and a pretty goof Folk Metal album as well. If you liked the one song I posted before you should listen to this because it's all really good.
Weird Al - Mandatory Fun
I know guys.
"Whoa, Noah likes stuff that's not metal? No, this must be a lie."
"Dude no, he posts crappy rap music all the time too, so you know his taste in music is garbage."
However you may feel about Weird Al I will tell you that he is a genius. This was his last album that will be released he has said so that he can keep up with music better. All singles and such from here on out. As you listen you'll note that he has songs on here that were "in" quite a while ago now, so you can see where he's coming from.
Alestorm, the band you want when you've decided to have a pirate themed party where all you plan to do is get drunk. Heck, you could even make a drinking game out of it. Take a shot when they mention rum, and when they say beer drink some beer. You'd get plastered about halfway through an album, guaranteed.
These guys have an interesting genre. Depending on who you ask, they are either Folk Metal, Pirate Metal, or (my personal favorite) Beer Metal.
This song is off of their newest album, and it's absolutely amazing. All the piratey stuff they sing about is really amusing to me, and it's good music to listen to while you play games like Assassin's Creed 4, or Sid Meier's Pirates! since it's all pirate based.
