ALESTORM 'CAPTAIN MORGAN'S REVENGE - 10th ANNIVERSARY EDITION' COMING IN JANUARY
2nd November 2017



alestorm

Alestorm have, and will always have, the honour of being the first ever band to have a live gig review published on MetalTalk. That was back in early 2009 and it was just before the release of their second album, 'Black Sails At Midnight'.

The Scottish Pirate Metallers' debut album, 'Captain Morgan's Revenge', was released in 2008 and is a modern Metal classic and from it, a completely new subgenre was born.

Nearly ten years later and after sold-out shows all over the world, Alestorm's boozy debut gets its well-deserved anniversary treatment and will be re-released on January 26th 2018 with Napalm Records.

'Captain Morgan's Revenge – 10th Anniversary Edition' has received a fresh remix and remastering by original producer Lasse Lammert at his LSD studios and will be coming with a rejuvenated artwork. Alongside the 'Live At Summer Breeze' bonus disc, this re-release will be a true gem for all collectors, new fans and nostalgics alike.

Captain Christopher Bowes tells us:

"Oh wow! Can't believe it's been ten years already since we made this record. We were all terrible musicians back then, and it was only thanks to the immense skill of our producer Lasse Lammert that we managed to salvage a passable bunch of songs.

"But anyway, it seems a bunch of you people seemed to like this album, so we decided to give it a bit of spit and polish for the tenth anniversary.

"NO, this is not one of those shitty 'brickwall' remasters that some bands do, and NO, this is not a re-recording by a bunch of disinterested and jaded old musicians. We've taken the original multitrack source material from ten years ago (bad playing, cheap keyboards, awful vocals and everything), and just re-mixed the whole album to be punchier, tighter, more dynamic, and more sonically delightful than before.

"You probably won't even notice the difference! But it's there. And it'll sound awesome on vinyl, for the first time ever!"
