I don't usually go for gimmics, but...

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Alestorm, the pirate metal band.

Pirate. Metal.

I'll be in my quarters.

...actually, check that. They are not "the" pirate metal band. Apparently pirate metal is now a Thing. Why the hell was I not told about this? Behold, Swashbuckle. A band for those, like me, for whom Alestorm verges a bit too close to subtle musicality. Their singer looks like Smee and sounds like a crocodile. If that isn't a badass combination, then... no, that is just a badass combination. 'Nuff said.

And now to cross my fingers and hope for that ninja goth band to come along...

the huntmaster is my favorite off of captain morgan's revenge. Their new album is even better, try listening to "leviathan"

Will do!

Oh, speaking of random metal bands, have you ever heard Himsa? They've become one of my favorites of late, though sadly I did not get into them until after they broke up. Even if you know them, if you haven't seen their "Unleash Carnage" video (linked above), check it out. It's fabulous.
