Photo Reports
The Scottish pirates of Alestorm docked their pirate ship in Torhout, Belgium. A sold out venue was ready to party with them, fantasy power metallers Gloryhammer, the dwarves of Windrose and fellow pirates Rumahoy.
Skálmöld + Alestorm = Skálstorm. Throw on top of that the cowboys of Bootyard Bandits and it results in one hell of a party night!
Gig Reports
This night was one big party! All the bands came to deliver their part of the party and the crowd was in for a good time too. If you missed this night, Alestorm, Gloryhammer and Wind Rose are coming to Alcatraz festival in Kortrijk this summer. Rumahoy sadly won’t be seen there.
Cowboys, vikings and pirates: a night any geek/kid would drool over came to live! Alestorm, Skálmöld and Bootyard Bandits blew the roof off Nosturi!
Album Reviews
Alestorm sets sail for the seventh time on ‘Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum’: creativity and pirates at their best! Out on Napalm Records.

Crusade of Bards create this mix of power metal, symphonic metal, folk touches, and even gothic and pagan touches. It’s all there, and it all blends in beautifully together.
With this album I found myself distracted. I like the songs. They definitely scream party but they lack the power of pirate metal. It is still Alestorm, but not as loud and rough as we are used to.
The ship has docked and Alestorm has returned! So fill your tankards and tag along for some mighty pirate adventures, for there is no grave but the sea!
Interviews
We sat down with the pirate misfits from Down Under, Lagerstein, at Sabaton Open Air to talk about drinking, touring, Lagerfest and more!
