 Symphonic/Folk/Power Metal The day is the seventh of June, 1692. The place: Port Royal, Jamaica. A fearsome earthquake demolishes most of the surroundings and causes the drowning of almost 2/3 of the city and the death of close to half of the people in it. The locals that survived reffered to the disaster as an "Act of God" because of the city's sinful reputation. The locals did not know that the real cause of that earthquake was just a couple of miles into the Caribbean sea, in the form of four scotish pirates - A guitarist, a bassist, a drummer and a vocalist with a keytar, jamming on a ship named "The Alestorm" - had just struck that fatal pinch harmonic. Originally starting out as a two piece metal band, unsatisfied with anything they had head locally at the time, Gavin Harper and Christopher Bowes decided to form what was to become the joy of many pub landlords around! After recording and releasing an independant EP in Gavin's home studio in early 2006, a following quickly developed and requests were made to form a complete band and take this on the road. After some pot luck and blind hiring of musicians neither of them had met or heard play at the time, bassist Dani Evans and drummer Doug Swierczek were recruited and five days after everyone first met each other, a filled to the brim gig in Dundee. The band then set it's sights on writing and recording a second EP after popular request. This time, performing as a full band, a whole new dynamic kicked in and as a result, the second EP was received even more positively than the first and as such, drew the band to even higher heights and as such, got a personal invitation to appear on Metal Hammer's Battle Metal V cd with other such bands as Týr, Firewind, Hammerfall and Blind Guardian. By now, word was spreading around the UK and beyond. The band's forum quickly became one of the most active and largest on UltimateMetal.com and the Myspace was receiving daily shiploads of friend-adds as well as radio airplay over Europe and North America In early 2007, drummer Doug Swierczek departed from the crew and was swiftly replaced by the band's friend and very talented drummer, Ian Wilson. With a fresh new outlook and a lot more freedom to create the type of music the band wanted to create, the band have started work for a full length release in the near future. Now, this is a story all about how our lives got flipped turned upside down. And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you how we became the kings of True Scottish Pirate Metal. In the east coast of Scotland, born and raised, on the playground was where we spend most of our days. Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool, and all slaying some poseurs outside of the school. When a couple of guys who were up to no good, started shredding solos in our neighbourhood. We got in one little band and some Austrians got scared, they said "holy shit you're awesome here's a record deal". We whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said 'YARRGH' and it had cannons in the mirror. If anything, we can say this cab was rare, but we thought "Nah, forget it" - "Yo homes to Wacken!" We pulled up to the stage about 7 or 8, and we yelled to the cabbie "Yo homes, smell ya later". We looked at our kingdom, we were finally there, to sit on our thrones as the kings of True Scottish Pirate Metal.

Да и тот вокал, что тут, мне очень нравится. Не назову красивым и сильным, но для меня лучше вокала представить тут сложно.
