Aloha, Ahoy
Alright folks, I'm just going to come out with it - I LOVE power-pirate-viking-goth-metal.
I don't care what you say. It's just damn right flinging-flanging jeffing epic.

I find the older I get the less I care about what's mainstream, what's not, what's cool, what's hot..
I never thought I'd find solace in the pirate-goth metal of the world, but hey here you have it.
I owe that to my parents - they read me Lord of the Rings as bed time stories - if that's not going to instill a love of the fantasy realm in a young mind, I don't know what will.
Boy am I glad they did though - I mean you've seen it right?!
With the elves and the YOU SHALL NOT PASS and the battles and did I mention the elves?! - It's like the most metal story; the book to end all books.

In case you spent the turn of the millennium under a rock or y'know being born and stuff here's LOTR broken down into about ten minutes set to Nightwish's Ghost Love Score - (seemed as good a place to start as any)
In time my love of fantasy developed through the music I listened to. Until I discovered pirate-power metal - It's a murky cocktail of fantasy inspired lyrics, the famed power stance, serious hair goals, leather pants, bitchin' guitar solos & the odd dragon or pirate thrown in for good measure.
We've all read a playlist post featuring the best of the best blah blah blah, so here's something a little different for you all tonight.
Here's my dual for the throne playlist of the pirate-viking-power-metal lords of
Alestorm & Nightwish
but who will reign victorious?
Here's a breakdown of the most epic pirate-goth-viking-power-metal tunes for the closet goth scrambling to escape you.

A L E S T O R M - D R I N K
While Nightwish make a powerful sound, Alestorm totally own their pirate-metal sound, but I have to say that while Nightwish stole my heart from the word go - despite changing leading ladies - what great band hasn't had a lineup change or three?- The kings of power-goth-pirate-viking metal go to -
A L E S T O R M
& here are the pirate squad are in all their hair goal - power stance - glory
Because it's a pirate life for me.
What bands would you like to see battle it out to be king next?
Tune in and rock out again soon

Love & Peace
