Album Notes & Community Reviews

Expanding upon the swashbuckling thematic introduced in their previous effort, the German outfit fully embraced historical maritime lore with this pivotal release. The music features blistering speed, galloping riffs, and massive choruses designed for triumphant live performances. It firmly codified their signature 'pirate metal' aesthetic and solidified their standing in the European power metal pantheon.
