Background information über 'Leviathan'

This swashbuckling adventure from Scotland's most notorious pirate metal crew delivers everything you'd expect from Alestorm - thunderous riffs, soaring melodies, and enough nautical mayhem to sink a fleet. "Leviathan" showcases the band's signature blend of heavy metal fury and folk-inspired melodies, with Christopher Bowes' keyboard wizardry adding that distinctive maritime flavor that sets them apart from the pack. The title track storms out of the gates with crushing guitar work and anthemic choruses that'll have you raising your tankard high, while tracks like "Wolves of the Sea" demonstrate their knack for crafting infectious hooks that stick in your head like barnacles on a ship's hull.

What makes this release particularly special is how Alestorm manages to balance their theatrical pirate persona with genuinely solid songwriting. "Weiber und Wein" brings a folk metal element that feels authentic rather than gimmicky, and "Heavy Metal Pirates" is exactly what it promises - a no-holds-barred celebration of everything that makes this band so damn entertaining. The production captures both the raw energy of their live performances and the intricate details of their arrangements, making this a perfect introduction to their unique brand of seafaring metal madness.
