Like its brother genre Viking metal, Alestorm's signature brand of Jolly Roger metal fuses traditional melodies (in this case, Irish and Scottish folk) to the backbone of heavy metal in all of its various incarnations. Released in 2009, Black Sails at Midnight differs little from the previous year's Captain Morgan's Revenge -- an octopus-faced Davey Jones still graces the cover in homage to Iron Maiden's iconic mascot Eddie, the riffs are stormy and fast, and the choruses are made for swaying your bottles of grog in the air before breaking them over the head of your closest neighbor -- but there is a definite air of musical and thematic confidence that was missing from the latter. At its best, Alestorm's tales of bravery and treachery on the high seas are on par with some of folk-metal's best and brightest (Turisas, Dragonforce, Korpiklaani, Finntroll), though one wishes that they could find a way to replace the cheesy accordion keyboards with the real thing. That said, it's hard to not become at least a little effusive over a record that comes adorned with a round, white sticker on the front that says "Scottish Pirate Metal!" (the exclamation point is key). ~ James Christopher Monger Professional Reviews: Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "They're best on these short, battle-hardened charges, each a chucklesome blast of rollicking hooks and tankard-slamming folk." Producer: Lasse Lammert Format: CD (1 Disc); Stereo Country: USA Studio/Live: Studio Release Date: 22 January, 2016 Label: CD Dimensions: 12.8 x 1 x 14.4 centimeters (0.07 kg)
