Alestorm - F*cked With An Anchor

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.

A to Z Challenge: Runner up week 1! Alestorm

Band:  Alestorm
Genre:  Pirate Metal

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.

Cover Week: Alestorm - Hangover

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.

Alestorm - Drink

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.
