ALESTORM Launch Music Video For "Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum"
June 22, 2022, 2 years ago
Infamous pirate metal gang, Alestorm, set sail on a new voyage with their seventh studio album, Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum, out this Friday. Today, the band reveals the fourth single and official music video for the title track, “Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum” - a real throwback to the early days of Captain Morgan’s Revenge telling the heroic story of a war on the seven seas.
The new video shows the band in 70s style - bell-bottoms, groovy sunglasses and fringed shirts included. Don’t miss out on this!
Alestorm spent two years during the lockdown going insane and frantically dredging up the craziest pirate metal anthems from their treasure chest of ideas, and have created the most epic and serious (yes, serious) sounding Alestorm album you’ve ever heard. From the symphonic choir-powered “Magellan’s Expedition” to the rousing anthem “Under Blackened Banners” featuring intense technical riffing and exquisite solo duels, Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum is a real throwback to the early days of Captain Morgan’s Revenge. But fans of the modern Alestorm sound need not worry either – there’s plenty of party mood in the aptly-named future hit song “P.A.R.T.Y.”, and the high speed, insane folk metal banger “Cannonball” has the most ridiculous and offensive lyrics you’ve ever heard in a pirate metal song (making “Fucked With an Anchor” sound tame).
As an extra special treat for the die-hard collector fans, some special editions come with a full acoustic rendition of the entire album, and there’s even a legendary version of the album For Dogs once again. In the Wooden Box only, there is a special 7” Single vinyl, including “Christmas With Alestorm” and “Nyár Van”.
