discography:

Scottish metal pirates ALESTORM released single ‘The Storm‘.
The Scots have also released their eighth studio album ‘The Thunderfist Chronicles‘ 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 M 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.
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.“
The ultimate pirate metal adventure is about to set sail…
With explosive opener ‘Hyperion Omniriff‘, ALESTORM unleashes a tidal wave of melodies that will sweep you off your feet.
Of course, no album would be complete without a dose of their signature humor – ‘Banana‘ is a ridiculously catchy singalong banger that will turn every concert into a drunken pirate celebration.
Meanwhile, ‘Frozen Piss 2‘ is packed with icy grooves and razor-sharp wit.
But it’s not all just chaos and rum-fueled madness – ‘The Storm‘ offers a dramatic, sweeping atmosphere, leading into ‘Mountains of the Deep‘, a grandiose, anthem-filled voyage into the ocean’s depths.
Then comes the Nekrogoblikon cover ‘Goblins Ahoy!‘, a rowdy, fantasy-infused riot, before the album culminates in its climactic masterpiece:
‘Mega-Supreme Treasure of the Eternal Thunderfist‘.
This colossal, 17 minute long, over-the-top epic features heroic choirs, thundering guitars, and a swashbuckling tale that will turn every pirate into a legend.
Christopher Bowes on the new album:
“This album is weird and full of difficult riffs that I already regret. There’s a bunch of fun things to discover on the record though – we’ve got a cover of a song by our friends in Nekrogoblikon, a whole lot of other heavy stuff, plus the longest song I’ve ever written (over 17 minutes long) which features guest vocals from Patty Gurdy (everyone’s favorite hurdy gurdy player) and Sir Russell Allen (Symphony X singer and my favorite vocalist of all time).”
ALESTORM once again teamed up with Lasse Lammert of LSD-Studios (Gloryhammer, Wind Rose) for production, recording, mixing, and mastering of ‘The Thunderfist Chronicles‘.
The new album promises a wild ride through raging storms, absurd adventures, and epic battles across the vast ocean blue.
