I've heard a lot of Alestorm and Swashbuckle, and to a lesser extent, the 3 Inches of Blood pirate songs. They're good, but didn't leave a lasting impression on me. To me, they just can't top Running Wild, the true masters of pirate metal! Under Jolly Roger!!!

You like Pirate Metal? Rammstein does Reise Reise! :thumbup:

Und die Wellen weinen leise
In ihrem Blute steckt ein Speer
Bluten leise in das Meer!"

God save the gracious King,
Long live the noble King,
God save the King:
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the King.

I still have Sensucht. I guess I'll have to youtube it! Another 80's/90's band that does pirate metal well is Tierra Santa. Check out "La Cancion del Pirata" Busca para parte uno y dos

While I have heard of Alestorm, I have not heard of Running Wild. Thanks for the tip!

I have to agree here! Their music is fantastic.
As a rock and metalfan I love this kind of music.
Great find! Thanks! :thumbup:

Alestorm are amasing. They brought me back my interest into pirates, and pirates brought me back my interest into LEGOS! Captain Morgan's revenge is my favorite alestorm album.
Curse or not, the treasure shall be ours!

Maybe it's because there are more drinking songs on the first album :pir_laugh2: . Black sail at midnight is a very epic album too.
For those living in north america, they are touring with Eluveitie in november! I'll try to dress as a pirate when I'll be seeing them live :pir-classic:.

I also like rammstein, but I think they are too different from alestorm and pirate metal in general to be compared with them.

I found another good song. "Airship Pirates" by Abney Park. Really good song.

There a Steam Punk band.
