ALESTORM: The Thunderfist Chronicles

[KingsGene]

Pirate Metal Heroes ALESTORM Announce Eighth Studio Album; The Thunderfist Chronicles To Arrive In June​

"... Hoist the sails, sharpen your cutlasses, and fill your tankards – Alestorm is back with their brand-new album, The Thunderfist Chronicles, set for release on June 20 via Napalm Records. The Scottish party pirates return with their eight album, containing eight new anthems packed with blistering riffs, wild shanty-driven riffs, and utterly ridiculous lyrics – taking the high seas of metal to new depths.

The Thunderfist Chronicles arrives as the successor to Alestorm’s epic seventh studio album, Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum, which peaked at #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts, #7 on the German Album charts, and many more. After the release of last year’s Voyage Of The Dead Marauder EP and extensive touring, the band returns for more. With The Thunderfist Chronicles, Alestorm proves once again why they are the undisputed rulers of the Seven Metal Seas. So, grab your nearest jug of rum – this is going to be loud, chaotic, and absolutely legendary....Pre-order here...."

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 Russel Allen (Symphony X singer and my favorite vocalist of all time).
