morslaI never realised that I'd had a Scottish pirate-metal-shaped hole in my life until now.
To quote a fan from the Pressgang forums: "To get an idea of how they sound before you follow the link, imagine if Captain Barbosa murdered the lead singer of Dragonforce and took his place. And added an accordian." It's fantastic :)
The band is called Alestorm, and you can find their music here. It's a MyspaceMusic site, so it may start roaring at you as soon as the page loads, but it's worth a visit if you aren't at work. If you like tongue-in-cheek metal bands, full of ale, wenches and dread pirate curses, you need to listen to this band.

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 two-thirds 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 Scottish 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.
