I approve. Im not going to lie, it was the Scottish part that got me into this thread. This is the first metal that I have heard from the land of my ancestors

"Sounds Like - If pirates had a wall of Marshalls."

"Sounds Like - If pirates had a wall of Marshalls."

That's the first thing I noticed too.

These guys are hilarious. I hope that's what they're going for. In a way they remind me of a band called Asguard (or is it Asgard). They are Italians who moved to Germany who sing in English about Nors mythology. and they're awesome.

 

[OneArmedScissor]

Oh god, it's Pirateforce...

 

[Variable]

Now where's my grog?....

 

[shredhead666]

This band indeed rocks fellas. some might call it cheese, but I just think they are a cool ass band. They do the traditional song "flower of scotland" on the CD.

People who think it's cheese don't have a sense of humor! LOL!
It's like Dragonforce, Manowar etc... people take them entirely too seriously.
