Our Take

Ahoy there, me hearties! Avast ye, for the pirates of Alestorm have returned with their latest plunder, "Sunset On The Golden Age." This album is a raucous treasure trove of seafaring shanties and tales of rum-soaked adventures on the high seas.

From the rollicking opener "Walk the Plank" to the epic closer "Mead from Hell," Alestorm takes listeners on a swashbuckling journey through heavy metal and folk influences, with a healthy dose of pirate-themed lyrics thrown in for good measure.

Lead vocalist Christopher Bowes's gritty vocals are as powerful as a cannon blast, while the band's masterful musicianship shines through on tracks like "Drink" and "Hangover."

But it's not all fun and games aboard the good ship Alestorm. The band shows their more introspective side on tracks like "Sunset On The Golden Age," where the strains of a lonely accordion echo through the misty night.

Overall, "Sunset On The Golden Age" is a rollicking good time that will have you raising your tankard in salute to these scurvy dogs of the high seas. So grab your eyepatch and prepare to set sail with Alestorm on their latest musical adventure. Aye, it's a pirate's life for me, mateys!

About the artist

Alestorm

Ahoy, me hearties! Avast ye, for today we be setting sail on the high seas of metal music with none other than the notorious pirate crew, ALESTORM. Hailing from the shores of Scotland, these swashbuckling scallywags have been plundering our ear drums with their unique blend of folk-infused pirate metal since 2004. Led by the charismatic Captain Christopher Bowes, ALESTORM have carved out a niche for themselves in the crowded seas of metal music with their raucous live shows and infectious sense of fun. With infectious hooks, blistering guitar riffs, and lyrics that tell tales of treasure, rum, and adventure on the seven seas, ALESTORM's music is a rollicking good time from start to finish. Their latest album, "Curse of the Crystal Coconut," is a treasure trove of pirate-themed anthems that will have you raising your tankard in salute. Tracks like "Treasure Chest Party Quest" and "Fannybaws" showcase the band's knack for catchy melodies and tongue-in-cheek lyrics that will have you singing along in no time. So, if you're looking for a musical voyage unlike any other, hop aboard the good ship ALESTORM and prepare to set sail for a night of swashbuckling revelry. But beware, for once you've experienced the antics of this crew of pirate metal maestros, you may never look at landlubber music the same way again. Heave ho, me hearties!
