I recently stumbled over an awesome Scottish band in Scream Magazine (and later in Sweden Rock Magazine). Alestorm is the name, and they're to my knowledge the second band in the world to do Pirate Metal (the other band being Running Wild). The lyrics and musical themes are great - all pirates all the time. Here are two songs from their cd; "Over The Seas" and "Wenches And Mead".
..oh it's true..it's DAMN true

This is a joke, right?
And they describe their style as "True Scottish Pirate Metal". Just to set them apart from all the fake Scottish Pirate Metal out there...
..yes; death to False Scottish Pirate Metal...
/end of Manowar paraphrasing
What; you didn't get your mosh on to Alestorm?
they're to my knowledge the second band in the world to do Pirate Metal (the other band being Running Wild).
What about Verbal Deception? I think they more or less has taken over the pirate metal scene lately.
What; you didn't get your mosh on to Alestorm?
Actually, there are way too few modern songs with the word "wenches" in the title. I'll give them that.
Faking metal knowledge, are we? You oughta' try your hand at music journalism, Anders........you're a much better faker than the douches in our major newspapers on the few occasions they try to write something about metal bands
Well, I may not know about all the genre of metal, but I dare you to name two more bands that play Scottish Pirate Metal that I haven't heard of!
;-)
Touché
