2662 Alestorm - 1741 (The Battle of Cartagena)

From: Sunset on the Golden Age; Year: 2014; Genre: Power Metal/Celtic Folk Metal
This is one from the new album that was recently released from the epic pirate metal band Alestorm. If you heard the band before you more or less know what to expect; although it is interesting to hear Christopher Bowes go into low "gut" vocals like what you would normally hear in death metal in the mid eight section. I love how they mix the account of an actual historic battle in this song.
Not bad in the least and it's nice to see that they're staying on course with the sound I've come to know and love.

Hear 1741 (The Battle of Cartagena) on YouTube.

  1. So help me I was just about to buy this album when I watched the official YouTube post of the "Drink" video. But at the end of it there was a link to a song called "Energia" from an Austrian band called Russkaja, who is signed to the same label as Alestorm. I liked it so much I bought that album instead!

    Don't get me wrong, I probably will pick this one up at some point.
