Alestorm

[Black Abyss Babe]

I need to go to a pub where this happens:

 

[gazda]

Anybody listen to Bowes 10th project, Wizardthrone?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Alestorm have announced that their 7th album will be called "Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum"

I am not making this up ...

 

[LooseCannon]

That's gorgeous and I love it. I hope the title track is just a cover of SSOASS but with the lyrics redone to be rum and pirate related.

 

[Diesel 11]

That’s fucking brilliant. Maybe it’ll disappoint like the last record, but who knows? Maybe we’ll get a killer (but zany) concept record.

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

I hope the title track is just a cover of SSOASS but with the lyrics redone to be rum and pirate related.

"So it shall be written.
So it shall be drunk."

If anyone feels like joining in with the pirate/drink-themed puns on Maiden songtitles I'm sure you'd be welcome ...

Moonshine
Infinite Drams
Can I Play With Pirates
The Evil That Men Drink
Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum
The Piracy
Only the Good Die Drunk

Couldn't find a good replacement for The Clairvoyant, but to make up for it, here's the bonus track:

Spoiler

Rum of the Ancient Mariner.

 

[MindRuler]

Hook In You
The Man Who Would Drink Rum
Rum ain´t Free
Infinite Drunks
The Writing On The Sail
Swallowed Be Thy Rum

Rum of the Ancient Mariner.

Hey, take these to the Facebook discussion - not all of them have already been thought of

Spoiler: And btw ...

I'm pretty sure the Ancient Mariner was on something a bit stronger than rum

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Hook In You

"Hook" is an obvious connection - I've been trying to think of a way to introduce it without risking the tone of the conversation being lowered to a level which Alestorm themselves would find unacceptable

The final tracklisting is here

"Trago Mills McCartney" is Wooden Leg (Part III) apparently - not sure if that's strictly in the best taste ...

Inch resting. I guess no song lengths have been revealed yet? I’m hoping for some epics.

Click on one of the #seventhrumofaseventhrum hashtags and you'll know as much as I do ...

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

The first track is here

Spoiler: 1

It sounds like Alestorm

Spoiler: 2

A duck features prominently in the video

 

[LooseCannon]

Pretty good, more classic Alestorm than anything.

 

[Brigantium]

Spoiler 1 and 2 are the same as my initial reaction

 

[Diesel 11]

Yeah this sounds like a return to Sunset era Alestorm, which I dig. Solid song.

 

[Lampwick 43]

Sounds significantly better than everything from the last album.

I'm hype.

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Annnnnnnd ... two days before the release date, they finally let us hear the title track
Reminds me of Gloryhammer a bit, at the start.

Spoiler: 1

Round about 2:08 the lyrics refer to "the ancient rime" - which could be a coincidence, of course ...

Spoiler: 2

Also pay careful attention to the subtitles at 3:05, right after the Baked Alaska recipe
