Napalm\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
Scottish pirates ALESTORM continues to mix folk music with power metal on their third full-length album. Fiddle and hey-hey sits nicely and the last time I saw them they stood up well against headliners SABATON. The band is intact; Christopher Bowes, vocals\/keys, Dani Evans, guitar, Gareth Murdoch, bass, and Peter Alcorn, drums. <\/p>\n
The title track opens with a musical battle scene. The ole swift time travel (\u201cBack Through Time\u201d) works for their present time friendly metal. And that is done without fending off anyone who\u00b4s into older metal. No matter how drunk you are you can sing along, so I believe there will be spots on German festivals. \u201cShipwrecked\u201d is the same attack and pace song, although heavier. But the best refrains are probably \u201cRum\u201d, \u201cSwashbuckled\u201d and \u201cThe Sunk\u00b4n Norwegian\u201d. Exactly the kind of material I want from ALESTORM. Mid-tempo songs with pride, like \u201cScraping the Barrel\u201d (in which RUNNING WILD is mentioned!) and \u201cBarrett\u00b4s Privateers\u201d are also positive factors. The same actually goes for the unexpected black metal-inspired \u201cDeath Throes of the Terrorsquid\u201d. On occasion ALESTORM are a mess of clich\u00e9s and nonsense. But there is absolutely no cause for alarm yet, they prove their value again – without being a total success. <\/p>\n
