Oh wow! Back in 2008, ALESTORM were mere newcomers and beginners – and yet they created a modern metal classic and a completely new subgenre.
Captain Morgan`s Revenge marks the birth of Pirate Metal as we know it today and turned a couple of young Scotsmen into the hottest band the modern metal scene has to offer!
Ten years later and sold-out shows all over the world, their boozy debut gets its well-deserved anniversary treatment and will be re-released on January 26th 2018 with Napalm Records!
Captain Morgan`s Revenge – 10th Anniversary Edition has received a fresh remix and remastering by original producer Lasse Lammert at his LSD studios and will be coming with a rejuvenated artwork.
Alongside the ‘Live At Summer Breeze’ bonus disc, this re-release will be a true gem for all collectors, new fans and nostalgics alike!
The pirates about their upcoming Anniversary Edition:
“Oh wow! Can’t believe it’s been 10 years already since we made this record. We were all terrible musicians back then, and it was only thanks to the immense skill of our producer Lasse Lammert that we managed to salvage a passable bunch of songs. But anyway, it seems a bunch of you people seemed to like this album, so we decided to give it a bit of spit and polish for the 10th anniversary. NO, this is not one of those shitty ‘brickwall’ remasters that some bands do, and NO, this is not a re-recording by a bunch of disinterested and jaded old musicians. We’ve taken the original multitrack source material from 10 years ago (bad playing, cheap keyboards, awful vocals and everything), and just re-mixed the whole album to be punchier, tighter, more dynamic, and more sonically delightful than before. You probably won’t even notice the difference! But it’s there. And it’ll sound awesome on vinyl, for the first time ever!”

With their Swan Songs-series, dark rockers LORD OF THE LOST showcase their ability to create fascinatingly heavy classical music.
Released on October 6th 2017 with Napalm Records, this is the second time the Hamburg-based band have conjured their music with an ensemble album in such grandiose style!
Swan Songs II is out now and available to purchase HERE!
LORD OF THE LOST have now unveiled a brand new and very touching lyric video for the track ‘My Better Me’. Watch it here:
Says vocalist Chris Harms: “My better me would say the ‚My Better Me‘ ist a song about hope and about trying to change for the better. But in the end it’s only a mirror of what we are and we might not like what we see when looking at our reflection. So this most personal of all the albums tracks eventually turns out to be a song not only about me but about each one of us.“
With effortless grace, LORD OF THE LOST have managed to establish their unique trademark sound while they always create a contrast of musical extremes: Catchy ballads with hit-potential meet harsh metalcore-attacks, with no fear for excursions into the symphonic, industrial metal and heavy rock that goes straight into your heart and face!
But with Swan Songs II, once more LORD OF THE LOST manage to deliver their songs with a new beauty and gloss, and prove that they cannot be reduced to their brute site only. Swan Songs II’ features ten brand-new songs, which showcase tender strings and charming piano play with a heaviness one has come to expect from the band. A touching creation with top arrangements!

An album that catapults you to a battlefield where a failing Roman empire is retreating and Germanic tribes are on the rise to claim back what is theirs. It will guide you through the great migrations and tell the tale of early traditions, gods and nature. We’ve fitted these stories in 11 songs that emphasize the characteristic HEIDEVOLK sound but also underline the progression of our songwriting. Fast metal riffing combined with a our trademark dual male vocals, a 24 piece male choir, various folk musicians, a string ensemble and the raw guest vocals of Primordials’ Nemtheanga make “Vuur van Verzet” an album that shows its teeth..in a bombastic way.
