‘Alestorm’ are in a league of their own, weaving together a genre that is widely recognized as “pirate metal”. They hail from Perth, Scotland, and are signed to Napalm Records, with whom they have released a handful of studio albums.
The band signed to Napalm Records in 2007, and their debut album, “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” was released on January 25th 2008. The album started to build the band’s audience on an international platform, as they embarked on tours building on their profile.
This was followed by “Black Sails at Midnight” released on May 27th 2009, which included a live DVD of the band’s performance at the Wacken Festival of 2008. They played on the Paganfest tour in Europe, and Heathenfest in the United States, but most notably The Black Sails Over Europe Tour, which was prior to the release of the album. The band had 1000 copies of a teaser CD burned with three songs from “Black Sails at Midnight” on it, to generate hype adding to their campaign.
The band visited Australia and even Hard Rock Hell: Road Trip in Ibiza, before embarking on a tour before the release of their third studio album “Back Through Time”. They earned themselves a spot at the Sonisphere Festival in the UK, and a main support slot for Kamelot on their headlining North American tour. The album “Back Through Time” was released on June 3rd 2011, and made it to #42 on the German Albums Chart.
This band have many accolades to their name, having played on the “70000 Tons of Metal” cruise in the Caribbean, having supported Dragonforce, and having headlined their own North American tour. Alestorm’s fourth album, “Sunset on the Golden Age” was released on August 1st 2014.
Read moreNow who wouldn't want to see five musicians dressed as pirates playing their unique brand of folk metal. Alestorm's show is exactly that yet so, so much more. Pioneering a new genre that they have dubbed pirate metal, the Scottish band originally from Perth have a huge cult following in the UK and continue to sell out shows to fans who want to hear their unusual sound.
Touring across the world, the band are synonymous on the metal scene and have played at some of the most prestigious venues including Metalcamp and Wacken Open Air. All this exposure has meant the boys have created a bizarre, boisterous live show with nautical themes running through the stage set up and the setlist. Their folk rock is pretty powerful stuff, with crowds head banging along to the likes of 'Over The Seas' and popular opener 'Walk The Plank'. The characters come out from time to time, and the charisma is partly what makes them so unusual as a metal band, brilliant crowd interaction during 'Wenches & Mead' leaves fans cheering for the eccentrics' return.
They reappear with a frantic encore of '1741' and the satirically titled 'Captain Morgan's Revenge' which leaves fans cheering long after the pirates have boarded their ship to the next venue. Alestorm are a band who understand the importance of standing out in a saturated market, and for anyone who wants to see an alternative to the usual metal performers, catch them on their upcoming UK tour.
Once again a disappointing show from the overly drunk underperforming weirdos that are Alestorm. (3rd live show for me) Somehow they manage to string together a coherent performance for their albums but live they are just awful, they either need to sober up, or get better at playing when drunk. They also seem to have lost their way, lots of people turned up expecting a pirate metal themed show, but instead we got a drug addled psychedelic vision of ducks, bananas and dog shirts. A lot of disgruntled fans... Plus so many of their fans are total d***s, looking forward to Sabaton not touring with these guys anymore, because so many of the Alestorm fans are just a pain to be in a room with. 2/10
Show was a blast. The supporting bands did great for mood and getting you amped up for Alestorm. Alestorm had a ton of energy as usual, and I was pleased to discover they have a thing where people holdup a hooked hand instead of the metal horns typical at shows. Their set was good, and the pit was a blast. Everyone out for everyone to have a great time. Chris Bowes crowd surfed to the bar after the set. I've not seen Alestorm and had a bad time yet, and I don't expect that to change.
The bands I saw were, in order, Adavant, Rainbowdragoneyes, the Dread Crew of Oddwood, and the fabulous bucaneers of Alestorm. Every single band knew how to host a properly pandemonious pirate party, and every single band was worth the money I spent even if they had been the only act that night. The floor was packed, the crowd was rowdy, and the rum was plentiful. If you're looking for a hearty good time with (optional) moshing, Alestorm is a sure bet anytime.
I found the show great, a lot so singing and before they came 3 songs by Queen and everyone that I could tell was singing every work in time. It was a great start to the show, half way through the show they through out a huge plastic duck that was getting hit up into the air till it got killed it was great fun, they put on a great show all in all, security did an amazing job of catching crowd surfers
What can I say, this was a brilliant concert! From the first note the whole audience exploded with singing and partying and it only ended when the concert was finished. The band does their very best to keep everybody entertained and continually invites audience participation. Excellent music, excellent atmosphere. Recommended!
Epic as expected. Second time seeing them in London and I loved every minute of it, extremely enthusiastic crowd went perfectly with the fun loving band and their huge inflatable duck to make a memorable evening. Excellent music and excellent people. Will see yet again when they are around.
Would recommend 10/10
I went into the show with reservations (a friend brought the tickets)
Overall, i had an absolute blast! These guys are bludy Awesome!
Even the pre show bands were fkn cool!!
I've gone from a "yea i like em" to "fuck yes, these cunts rock!"
Will definitely see them again!!
If you like their music, it is pirate metal so probably yes, you will love their live performance.
Really great band with a good vibe, massive performance and everything they play is dead on.
Had a fucking fun night out.
Also wall of death.
Perfect 10/10
The show was amazing, the first cover band wasn’t really amazing in my opinion (the guitarists and drummer were brilliant) but I wasn’t a fan of the lead singer. The second cover band was actually really good and alestorm were fantastic as expected
