[tety988]

POTENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE  =)

[st801stef]

I laugh my ass of how everybody takes them to hate alestorm.

They just laugh their guts out of their bodies together reading this comments.

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

Who could possibly hate something as hilarious/amazing as Alestorm?

[JasanQuinn]

Given the theme of the CD, the meaning of this song should be obvious; half the Vikings around Miklagard were pirates, and the other half were pirates who were being paid off by the Emperor to join the Varangian Guard, or otherwise serve the Byzantine Empire.

It's not a dig at Alestorm.

[GSenChe]

Hoist the sails! ‒ Wipe them out now

Kill them all! ‒ Let them die

[thewindthatshakesbar]

YAHAAARGH! Just catch me if you can! hurry ye lad! us pirates are too fast for you, and our canon blasts will destroy you! (I still love Turisas, no intentions to disminish anyone, just love pirates more than vikings :P)

[TheMarymonster]

Seen these live last week they were epic When they sung this and rasputin and battle metal the crowed went nuts 

[TheObbe94]

@TheMarymonster Manchester?

[TheMarymonster]

@TheObbe94 No buddy Cardiff

[TheLegioXII]

This song highlights the fact that Vikings were paid to hunt pirates and yet often attacked non pirates as a form of piracy themselves. "Tones turn to grey after sunset." "Underneath the paint your flag is still black." and there are more, surprised others didn't point this out.

[Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr]

@TheLegioXII Vikings lived about 600 years before pirates, how did they hunt them o.O?

[dogstilez]

@Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr Just because the pirates you and I know of didn't, didn't mean they didn't have raiders that they didn't know of attacking their ships and settlements. They fir the description of pirates rather well.

The more you know *little star*

[JasanQuinn]

@Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr A pirate is anyone who commits an act of piracy. Pirates were around loooong before the Golden Age of Sail, and the Vikings are arguably one of the most proficient, and most prolific groups of pirates in history!

[TheLegioXII]

@Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr Sure if you think yarrghh matey is the only kind of pirate.

[666alexifan]

@TheLegioXII guys check this guys comment

[TheLegioXII]

For mother Roma and the USA

[TheLegioXII]

Alestorm blows go Turisas



[Bosieful]

Full sails ahead, oceans painted red

When the soldiers of metal hunt for emos

Our glory task, we fulfil for what they asked

Make-Up all turns grey after sunset

Slaying a wimp, behaving like a pimp

What is right, what is gay, we shall answer!

We're not the sick, just savin' our music

Emos and gangsters, all cancer

[snakemast66]

@Bosieful its emperrors, pirates all cancer

[ReimaThe]

I love the discription, all music is property of Turisas :D

[HicksBoson]

On Heidenfest both Alestorm and Turisas will perform. I would like to see an epic battle between these two bands fought with cannons and whores.

[Seldanas]

Oh my oh my oh my god which do I pick as fav?! Pirate Metal or Viking Metal? D: I'm norwegian so I'm VIking but...but...I like both D:

[SatanEmbodied]

@Seldanas Well, historically the vikings were the finest 'pirates' of their time, so you can be both :D

[Seldanas]

@SatanEmbodied YEEY

[leadamse]

@SatanEmbodied Im a viking pirate ninja robot zombie cowboy knight alien.

[scarecrow719]

Pirate Metal vs. Viking Metal

Whoever Wins...We do too!

[Jeffreylabbe]

badassery

[FirepoxNB]

Piracy needs to be renamed to Raiding

[TomValedro]

bad song.

[SmokMaahPowle]

Turisas vs Alestorm please.

[Xsi02]

I think this song voices their opinions about copyright infringements!

[Foersvin]

turisas und alestorm together on heidenfest^^

[pvp4l1fe]

this should be the theme of the people who are fighting the Somali Pirates.

[kukurqka]

f you pirats  long liive

[fatzo666]

@kukurqka

LONG LIVE THE PIRATES!!!!!!!

[pvp4l1fe]

@kukurqka no.

[HOLYtheKNIGHT]

"Full sails ahead, oceans painted red When the soldiers of fortune hunt for pirates No questions asked, we fulfil our task Tones all turn grey after sunset Slaying a man, taking what you can What is right, what is wrong, who can answer? Sailing the seas, we do just what we please Emperors, pirates; all cancer Hoist the sails! - Wipe them out now - Kill them all! - Let them die - Scum they are! - Foe of mankind - Clear the sea! - Show no ruth- "

[happywazaa]

Kind of funny since vikings were also pirates...

[EdwinMarc]

They will play at Heidenfest just after Alestorm! :))

[acouragefann]

@EdwinMarc

and I'll be there, with a bottle of rum!

[BanditoWalrusGames]

@EdwinMarc

Damn! They need to close with this song! Then Alestorm needs to open with Back Through Time!!

[BanditoWalrusGames]

@BanditoWalrusGames

Erm, got that backwords. Alestorm needs to close with Back Through Time so that Turisas can open with this!

[FolkMetalPiper]

Ok... are these two bands actually at each-others throats? I dont think so...

[Dionysius8421]

@FolkMetalPiper More like trading jabs.

[FolkMetalPiper]

@Dionysius8421 something like that... its like Swashbuckle calling Alestorm 'Failstorm'

[Dionysius8421]

@FolkMetalPiper Precisely!

[BanditoWalrusGames]

@FolkMetalPiper

Who cares! If this "conflict"/"non-conflict" results in more great music, let's let 'em fight it out... or whatever their doin'!

[TekranoXx]

is it bad i love alestorm and turisas?

[Veterankevin]

@TekranoXx i love alestorm and turisas both also. vikings and pirates are together when the pop/rap/ninja war begins!

[FolkMetalPiper]

@TekranoXx Why would that be bad? 

[lonelycougar]

One of the most epic battles is about to unfold...Alestorm and Turisas in a real battle of the bands XD that shit would make my day

[qwornflake]

@garlictoothpaste they are playing togeter at heidenfest ;D

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

Great stuff. I'm really appreciative of this band's change from lots of growling to more clean vocals. The first decent song I heard was "To Holmgard and Beyond". Some great trumpets and such. This song is great, too.

[garlictoothpaste]

It would be interesting to see Turisas play this song in the presence of Alestorm. Seeing that they're both Folk Metal bands, this could happen someday....

[MrKlaergrube]

KillThem All !!!

Let Them Die !!!

GENIOUS!!!!!!!

[AtariMaxiToriyama]

@MrKlaergrube How are those simple imperative statements genius?

[Temetsekki]

Thumbs Up if you think that Turisas should do a musical.

[Earaldur]

@Temetsekki It would be the most epic musical ever.

[SOYUNJUANCAR]

me e enamorado de esta cancion... ♥

[forevernightwishfan]

EPIC SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO CATCHY :)



[bloodofmono]

everyone spread the word about this band!!!

[venusdoom881]

do ya know what their are bits of this song that remind me of sweeney todd haha sounds fricking awesome love turisas hence why im seeing them 2moro in london yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[fiends666]

I love how they're discretely telling people how much they hate Alestorm

[amondaet]

@fiends666 No, they are just mercenary, for them everyone is scum, but the pirate's enemy can pay.

[Blezzo]

@fiends666 Or Swashbuckle. Or Voltaire. Or The Cog is Dead. Or Abney Park. Or the hundreds of other pirate bands?

[tiranodog]

@fiends666 hahahaha i didnt realize it till you said it xD

[coloreel]

@fiends666 Alestorm is fighting back, listen to Back Through Time :D

[Keinichn]

@fiends666 That's one way of seeing it. That's fine, Alestorm has Back Through Time. A song about killing Vikings.

[fiends666]

@Keinichn I know, and its a r8 song

[poo65]

@fiends666 hahah they are because they could kick their ass hahaha

[qwerty63416341]

@fiends666 Just doing their duty aha :P

[Rawwwwwwwwrrrrrrrr]

@fiends666 and yet they tour together? :)

[TheDyingBreath]

@fiends666 This doesn't seem very discrete...

[Dreistan]

@fiends666 I hate to differ, but if you put attention to the lyric, it narrates the conflict between pirates and hunters of pirates, usually corsairs or reformed pirates, who ultimately did not belong very different from the pirates who were hunting.

[DanceDemyxDance100]

Are they really? I love Alestorm. Icfound thrm through Turisasand I love pirate music more than anything which is why I listen to this song.@fiends666

[IchBinUnbesiegt]

Kinda cheesy... sounds like Alestorm

[HeadShocked]

@IchBinUnbesiegt yeah that's because of "pirates" theme! :D yeah they're both great!

[eberry666]

@IchBinUnbesiegt I love Alestorm, but the composition here is so much more inventive than anything Alestorm has come up with, in my opinion. This is kinda what I wish Alestorm would write haha. Definitely don't hear many folk metal bands with melodies as strange and interesting as the one in that verse. I love it!

[Ruborin]

This is awesome :D
