Hard rocking five-piece Alestorm proudly fly the flag of the Jolly Roger high as pirate metal continues to gain momentum across the globe.

Alestorm are currently touring in support of their latest album No Grave But The Sea, whilst at the same time marking the 10th anniversary of their groundbreaking record Captain Morgan’s Revenge. The band’s debut long player has recently been remixed, remastered and was re-released via Napalm Records earlier this year.

National Rock Review recently caught up with Alestorm keyboard player Elliot Vernon during the band’s Piratefest UK tour at the Northumbria University in Newcastle to talk about their latest releases, touring South America, their recent appearance on the 70,000 Tonnes of Metal cruise and the band’s plans for 2018.
