Alestorm is a power/folk metal band from Perth, Scotland. Originally formed in 2004 under a different name, they adopted the moniker Alestorm after signing with <en>Napalm Records</en> in 2007. Known for their unique pirate theme, Alestorm humorously refers to their style as "True Scottish Pirate Metal," a playful nod to True Norwegian Black Metal.

With their catchy melodies, heavy guitar riffs, and epic lyrics about pirates and seafaring tales, Alestorm has carved out a niche for themselves within the metal genre.

If you enjoy bands like Turisas, Korpiklaani, or Ensiferum, then you'll definitely want to give Alestorm a listen.

Infamous metal pirates ALESTORM return with another batch of mischief on their new EP, entitled Voyage of the Dead Marauder, out March 22, 2023 via Napalm Records. The EP arrives as the successor to their epic seventh studio album, Seventh Run of a Seventh Rum, which peaked at #7 on the German Album charts and #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts. Once more, ALESTORM collaborated with producer Lasse Lammert (LSD-Studios), who produced, recorded, mixed and mastered the new EP and is known for his work with fellow genre greats Gloryhammer and Wind Rose. The EP breaks loose with the epic title track “Voyage of the Dead Marauder” - an accelerating anthem featuring an appearance from returning guest favorite Patty Gurdy, giving the track some extra spice with a hurdy-gurdy performance and captivating vocals. The crew sails forth with “Uzbekistan”, delivering a classic ALESTORM track in trademark pirate metal style, breaking into an intense middle passage before unleashing a wild, synth-laden pirate party breakdown full of intense screams. “The Last Saskatchewan Pirate” will transform any gathering into a packed pirate pub with its jolly flute melody, conveying a freeing, energetic mood, before “Sea Shanty 2” uplifts with an instrumental interlude. But don’t fret - listeners who clamor for the band’s most raucous anthems will have their needs met, as closing track “Cock” fully balances out the EP’s more serious tracks with its delightfully foul lyrics. Get on board, landlubbers, and embark with your favorite pirate crew on this seaworthy adventure!
