Like many, I’m totally bummed about missing the upcoming Life of Agony tour (note: this is rescheduled for 2021) and many of the other shows that were scheduled by the Napalm Records family of artists. COVID-19 has affected us all greatly and things are moving super fast. With this all in mind, Napalm Records […]

This Friday (31st), Gloryhammer’s new album Legends from Beyond the Galactic Terrorvortex will be released via Napalm Records (pre-order here). We caught up with the group’s mastermind Christopher Bowes (Alestorm) to discuss the new album, plans, and learned a bit more about Alestorm’s famous mascot, Duckie aka the inflatable giant duck.

Alestorm are getting ready to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their debut album Captain Morgan’s Revenge. It’s difficult to believe that it’s going on an entire decade since we heard these Scottish folks introduce us to pirate metal and, on January 26th, 2018, we get to see the record come to life once again.

For 18 years they have been a paramount part in bringing some of the biggest and best names in the international progressive and power metal scenes to a country not particularly known for either.

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. I wasn’t here last week to do the charts and comment on the passing of Chester Bennington, but I’m not sure what I can say that hasn’t been said better elsewhere. Linkin Park weren’t […]

Yesterday, Thursday, July 27th, the Vans Warped Tour made its stop in Kansas City, KS, and just like all good things that come through the area, the Westboro Baptist Church organized a protest against it. During the demonstration, members of the pirate metal group Alestorm, who have been playing on the festival, were spotted alongside […]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. Well, we knew this might happen. Inevitably, when an artist dies, their sales increase. Old fans that grew up on a band’s music pick up the album that meant so much to them that […]
