Scottish pirate metal party-crashers Alestorm deliver their third single, “The Storm”, taken from their upcoming album, “The Thunderfist Chronicles”, out this Friday via Napalm Records! Summoning a tidal wave of crushing riffs and epic melodies, “The Storm” channels the full fury of the high seas – complete with Alestorm’s trademark swashbuckling energy, rowdy gang vocals, and an unforgettable chorus proclaiming “I am the Storm”. The track arrives with an official lyric video, offering a glimpse into the chaos and glory of Alestorm’s most adventurous chapter yet.
Following the success of their chart-smashing seventh album “Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum” (#7 in Germany, #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts), Alestorm return louder and more ridiculous than ever with The Thunderfist Chronicles. Packed with eight new pirate anthems brimming with outrageous storytelling, rum-soaked melodies, and unrelenting energy, the band once again plunges the pirate metal genre to glorious new depths.
Fresh off international touring and last year’s “Voyage of the Dead Marauder” EP, Alestorm continue their reign of mayhem across the metal world. Known for turning every stage into a full-blown pirate party – complete with inflatable ducks and boat crowdsurfing – the band’s wild live shows are the stuff of legend.
Watch the official lyric video for “The Storm” below, and prepare to set sail with “The Thunderfist Chronicles” this Friday – first formats are already sold out!
Christopher Bowes on “The Storm”:
“Oh wow! Our new song ‘The Storm’ is about the raw, boiling power of mastic asphalt. It’s hot, sticky, and unstoppable, just like our music. We were busy one night drinking a bottle of creme de menthe and arguing about road surfacing when it hit us: nothing says pirate metal like molten tar and industrial paving. Hail Ve-Eplu.“
