I don't have facebook so I can't see what that is

oh man those Alestorm lyrics to the vid jim posted

Lyrics to Keelhauled :
My friends I stand before you
To tell a truth most ARR
They lust a treator in our mist
Who haven't vote the captain's ARR

He don't deserve no mercy
We oath to ship him with the guns
But I am not an evil man
So thus lets have a little fun

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw it overboard
Trap him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip

Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

I will not say what he has done
His sins are far to grave to tell
It's not my place to judge a man
But boy he will burn in hell

The sharks will dine up on his flesh
And Davie Jones will have his soul
Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go

And thus lets him to a rope
And throw it overboard
Trap him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip

Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

We'll tie that scoundrel to a rope
And throw it overboard
Trap him underneath the ship
A terrifying deadly trip

Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

they don't suck, though

wanna say pirate metal wouldn't exist without
http://i30.tinypic.com/qoxb0y.jpg

but really it's probably all just dragonforce fans who got gassed off of pirates of the caribbean

ARR

Hatebeak collabo options?

Take his money and his hat
He won't need them where he's gonna go

I like the attention to detail - take his hat!

the best bit is the chorus
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellow
Make that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho

i have seen swashbuckle live, and they kind of suck

Hatebeak collabo options?

LOL I totally forgot about Hatebeak! Are they still going?

No, the guitarist killed the parrot or something.

Musical differences

actually swashbuckle opening paganfest this year kind of set the tone wrong for the rest of the night

Pirate Metal is just a spin off from Drinking Metal after some of those bands saw Pirates Of The Caribbean.

pirate metal as i have experienced it is just kinda mediocre metal wearing a three cornered hat

by people who saw Pirates Of The Caribbean?

http://fastfude.org/topic.php?id=24261

I think pirate metal is just played by aging thrash metal enthusiasts that were inspired by the popular pirate movie trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean.

wearing three cornered hats

and too much rum

veering into steampunk territory here

i'll take adam & the ants or tenpole tudor over these guys, but at least they are having fun. the last alestorm record was pretty good.

Heh, i thought you might like them Scott.

Piracy Warning

There is a piracy warning on pre-released versions of the album, such as the versions on various BitTorrent websites, and appearing on You Tube. While the introduction to the song plays, Christopher Bowes reminds listeners that piracy is a crime.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Guys, a little embarrassing to admit, but I LOVE Scottish Pirate Metal now. So much fun!

I really wanted to like the band kerr refers to in the 1st post! But, they are pretty terrible stuff :(

they are terrible. But at least they're having a laugh unlike all those shitty metalcore bands that are so ubiquitous the past 10 years.

however i do look forward to a south shields progressive pirate metal band in the future

there's no goth pirate metal bands yet, a gap in the market?

Keelhauled is amazing.

My (now defunct) Paperthinwalls review from last year:

ALESTORM
“Captain Morgan’s Revenge”
(from Captain Morgan’s Revenge, Napalm)
8.0

Mutiny on the bounty's what Alestorm are all about; they're gonna board your ship and turn it on out. Napalm Records – which, despite carving its promos up into a hundred critic-unfriendly snippets so shuffle-play is impossible and piping in aggravating subliminal "you're listening to the new album by so and so" messages, are the only label helpful enough to always mention on the back sleeve of said promo advances which metal sub-sub-subgenre particular bands partake in (say, “Epic doom metal” or “Nordic folk metal”) – inform us that this well-oiled quintet play “Scottish pirate metal.” Which you have to admit is the best name for a new style of music you’ve heard in years, right?

Turns out that Scottish pirate metal sounds like a subset of the always highly inspirational jig-and-beer-metal aesthetic offered up in recent seasons by such wonderful far-European combos as Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Skyclad, and Sturmgeist. Which is to say that, despite obligatory (and curiously palatable in their case) extreme-thrash-like trappings, the loud and inebriated gang choruses are something that Pogues and Dropkick Murphys fans could easily imagine hoisting a pint to. (Ha ha, what couldn’t they imagine hoisting a pint to, right? But you get my point.) The main thing that sets the excellently named Alestorm apart from the pack is that, along with beer, they also tell tall tales about buried treasure chests and starboard boughs, and their two best song titles feature wenches. (Not to be confused with winches, which might help pull their vessel out of the water.)

“Nancy the Tavern Wench,” which as my better half has pointed out to me is primarily an advertisement for Nancy’s Harbor Cafe (“I know a tavern not far from here/where you can get some mighty fine beer…a den of debauchery, violence and sin” full of “cut-throats and low lifes” who would make reliable crewmates if you’re in the market for recruiting some) is basically also Alestorm’s version of Looking Glass’s chart-topping 1972 classic “Brandy” – Which is to says that Nancy, she’s a fine girl, what a good wife she would be, but Alestorm’s life, their love and their lady is the sea. And “Wenches and Mead” is yet more tugboat-rhythmed nautical immersion in rum, sodomy, and the lash, about how when one returns from a mighty odyssey across the oceans, one is certainly not in the mood for sleep or rest but rather to “get so drunk I can not think.”

Christopher Bowes, as he damn well better if he knows what’s good for him, recites such profound thoughts as if he’s just eaten plenty of booty and topped it the parrot from his shoulder. And in the typically rousing and hilarious “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” he goes one further, both by rhyming “dance a jig” with “take another swig” and by forcing said sorry Captain to walk the plank. But once Bowers and his buccaneers return to port they realize the captain has cast a curse! And now, since they’ve broken the law and betrayed the code, our heroes will carry their burden to their gallow’s poles, their graves and--as the song passes the five-minute mark in its album version, at least--the prison cells they wind up rotting in. (Though probably not in that order, I just realized.) As for us, we will face no such fate. Thanks to Alestorm, as Garth Brooks once related in “Two Pina Coladas”, we can set sail with Captain Morgan without ever leaving dry land.

What Scot bands are inspired by BuckFast Tonic Wine? There's gotta be a few dedicated to it and fighting.

maybe in happy hardcore circles.
