Jewelcase CD.

Background information about 'Curse Of The Crystal Coconut'

Scottish pirate metal legends Alestorm return with their sixth full-length offering, delivering another treasure chest of swashbuckling anthems that'll have you hoisting the Jolly Roger and reaching for your rum. "Curse Of The Crystal Coconut" finds the band at their most adventurous yet, blending their signature pirate-themed power metal with unexpected twists - from the gaming-inspired opener "Treasure Chest Party Quest" to the delightfully crude "Fannybaws" and the zombie apocalypse meets high seas chaos of "Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship". The album showcases Christopher Bowes' knack for crafting memorable hooks while maintaining the band's trademark humor and storytelling prowess.

What sets this release apart is how Alestorm manages to keep their formula fresh after all these years at sea. Tracks like "Call Of The Waves" demonstrate their ability to write genuinely epic moments, while "Shit Boat (No Fans)" proves they're not afraid to poke fun at themselves and the metal scene in general. The album closes with "Henry Martin", a traditional folk song arrangement that reminds us of the band's deep connection to maritime folklore. It's an album that doesn't take itself too seriously but delivers the goods when it comes to quality songwriting and infectious energy.

For fans of: Running Wild, Sabaton, Powerwolf and Gloryhammer
