Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Scottish 'pirate metal' outfit's sophomore release solidifies their highly specific, nautical-themed brand of heavy metal. Driven by aggressive power metal riffing and prominent, folk-inspired keytar melodies, the anthemic tracks celebrate maritime lore, drinking, and pillaging. The record significantly elevated their profile within the European festival circuit through its unapologetically fun and boisterous aesthetic.
