ALESTORM - Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum (CD)

2022 release. Oh wow! ItÆs time to put on your pirate hat and inflate your rubber ducks, because the world-famous Pirate Metal Drinking Crew Alestorm, have just set sail on a new voyage with their seventh studio album, Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum! The band spent two years during the lockdown going insane and frantically dredging up the craziest pirate metal anthems from their treasure chest of ideas, and have created the most epic and serious (yes, serious) sounding Alestorm album youÆve ever heard. From the symphonic choir-powered ôMagellanÆs Expeditionö which tells the tale of Ferdinand MagellanÆs historical circumnavigation of the earth in 1522, to the rousing anthem ôUnder Blackened Bannersö which features intense technical riffing and exquisite solo duels, ôSeventh Rum of a Seventh Rumö is a real throwback to the early days of ôCaptain MorganÆs Revengeö. But fans of the modern Alestorm sound need not worry either û thereÆs plenty of party mood in the aptly-named future hit song ôP.A.R.T.Y.ö, and the high speed insane folk metal banger ôCannonballö has the most ridiculous and offensive lyrics youÆve ever heard in a pirate metal song (it makes ôFucked With an Anchorö sound tame).
