Alestorm - Leviathan (2008)

 Following the excellent Captain Morgan’s Revenge (2008), Alestorm released the Leviathan EP containing Heavy Metal Pirates, a single that was released for download from the band’s MySpace page months earlier. The EP contains just 4 tracks (listed below), and unfortunately only contains 2 new songs, a re-recording and a cover. The sound is very consistent with what you will find on Captain Morgan’s Revenge; the guitar solos, the keyboards, and especially the pirate vocals.

Track Listing:
1) Leviathan – 6:05
2) Wolves of the Sea – 3:33
3) Weiber und Wein – 3:43
4) Heavy Metal Pirates – 4:23

If you are a fan of “True Scottish Pirate Metal” and Alestorm, then I can recommend this EP, however if you aren’t sure or don’t much care for Captain Morgan’s Revenge, then there is nothing new here.
