'''Alestorm''' is a power/folk metal band from Scotland and their main gimmick is the pirate theme of their music. Arr!
Formed in 2004 under the name Battleheart, they released a bunch of EPs (The first of which, ''Battleheart'', gave rise to the term 'True Scottish Pirate Metal, parodying the term 'True Norwegian [[Black Metal]]') before signing themselves to Napalm Records and rechristening themselves Alestorm.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: From "Keelhauled":
{{quote|''Take his money ''and his hat'',
''He won't need them where he's gonna go... }}
* [[Audience Participation Song]]: Plenty of their songs have this at the chorus, even on the records!
* [[Cool Versus Awesome]]: No one is safe from pirates, including vikings, ninjas, and sea monsters.
Line 67 ⟶ 68:
** And if I'm not mistaken, Back Through Time(the track) is a [[Take That]] directed at fellow Folk Metal band Turisas, for the song Hunting Pirates.
*** ''Scraping the Barrel'', off of Back Through Time, is a response to some of the band's criticism as being a "gimmicky band" that will eventually become dry. Their response? "If you don't like it, go start your own band."
* [[Surgery Under Fire]]: The song "Wooden Leg" tells of a pirate who has his leg blown off in naval combat, gets a wooden leg fitted below deck, and hops straight back into the fray.
* [[Talk Like a Pirate]]: [[Captain Obvious|Well, yeah.]]
* [[The Unexpected]]: ''Back Through Time'' features a bonus track that's a cover of... [[LazyTown|You Are a Pirate]].
