Alestorm have released a video for the track Shipwrecked from their upcoming album, Back Through Time.
They played this at the gig in Auckland last week, which I must say was the best live show I’ve been to in a long damn time. Back Through Time has a June 3rd release date in Europe and late June for the US.

I’ve recently gotten to grips with WordPress’ categories and tags. I’ve been using categories instead of tags, and the list is now growing to a ridiculous size.
So over the next few days I’m going to go through and recategorise everything into the following simpler categories:
And I will add a few others such as:
and such like.
And all the metal genres I’ll turn into tags. That’ll cut down the list of categories in the sidebar, and I’ll add a tag cloud so you can pick a genre. Hmm. Maybe I should add another category for default bloggage. And album release news. Looks like I’ll be adding to them as I think of them.
Greek thrash band Suicidal Angels have released a video from their recently released third album, Dead Again. The track is Final Dawn.
Chrome Division, the Norwegian rock band featuring Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir, have released a video from their latest album 3rd Round Knockout. Now while this is their third album (hence the clever name), I’ve never really given them a chance before. Partly because I’m not a fan of Dimmu Borgir, and a big part of the marketing of this band is riding on his coat-tails.
But Greg, my purveyor of fine metal, mentioned them recently after this album’s release. And of course, he has such fine taste that I gave them a shot. I must say, Chrome Division are pretty damned good. Imagine if you will, some Norwegian fellows who have been trapped for decades in the snow and ice, only ever having heard the sound of screeching vocals and buzzing guitars from iced up, crusted over amps. And then picture them going to LA and hearing Mötley Crüe for the first time in their lives. Naturally, their world is turned upside down. And from thenforth, they proclaim a new union of metal goodness from opposite poles of the earth.
Chrome Division is the love child of that union. Blackened Hair Metal. Awwww yeeaaahhh…
