Voyage Of The Dead Marauder on CD

The EP arrives as the successor to their epic seventh studio album, Seventh Run of a Seventh Rum, which peaked at #7 on the German Album charts and #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts. Once more, Alestorm collaborated with producer Lasse Lammert (LSD-Studios), who produced, recorded, mixed and mastered the new EP and is known for his work with fellow genre greats Gloryhammer and Wind Rose. The EP breaks loose with the epic title track "Voyage of the Dead Marauder" - an accelerating anthem featuring an appearance from returning guest favorite Patty Gurdy, giving the track some extra spice with a hurdy-gurdy performance and captivating vocals. The crew sails forth with "Uzbekistan", delivering a classic Alestorm track in trademark pirate metal style, breaking into an intense middle passage before unleashing a wild, synth-laden pirate party breakdown full of intense screams. "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" will transform any gathering into a packed pirate pub with it's jolly flute melody, conveying a freeing, energetic mood, before "Sea Shanty 2" uplifts with an instrumental interlude. But don't fret - listeners who clamor for the band's most raucous anthems will have their needs met, as closing track "Cock" fully balances out the EP's more serious tracks with it's delightfully foul lyrics. Get on board, landlubbers, and embark with your favorite pirate crew on this seaworthy adventure!
