AVAST ME MATEYS!

The band Alestorm call themselves "folk-metal", but I'm going to go out on a limb and call these Scottish lads what they really are. Pirate metal.

Yes. Pirate metal.

Songs about the high seas, rum, pillaging and treasure. Metal songs.

So pirate and metal, that apparently they even use a keytar.

This band is just a lot of fun. There's no way, given their subject matter and stereotyping of a genre, that this will not be one of the most fun metal gigs you will ever see.
