Back Through Time by Alestorm, the latest release by the mighty Scottish pirate metal band is, even after only listening to a few tracks, is a another solid and awesome album. The titled track "Back Through Time" focuses on a crew of pirates going back through time (what a shocker) to fight and kill vikings. Now being that I am somewhat of a viking I was a little bleh about it, however the music is so folky and fun with that destinct Alestorm feeling is just wonderful and can get anyone to raise their goblets of rum and dance around. Shipwrecked is a good follow tune on the album that is a little more serious than Through Time but just as much fun and a great headbanging song. As I said earlier I have only listened to a handful of tracks off this album so I can not give a very conclusive and fulfilling review, I can however say that I am more than willing to purchase the album to listen to the rest of the songs but also that it is anotgher entry by a great band and should get newer fans interested in their older works. However if you don't thnk pirates are fun or have no interest or dislike the genre of pirate/folk metal you just might end up making this face.
