"Oh wow! What a great song! The title track of our first album Captain Morgan's Revenge is still a live staple in our set these days, and I'm sure you all know the words to it already, but we made this fun wee video just in case any of you have recently contracted amnesia. As you can hear, our producer Lasse Lammert did a great job improving the mix from the original version we made 10 years ago. Nothing too crazy, just a bit of spit and polish. Enjoy!"
The birth of Pirate Metal, remixed & remastered - A true gem for all collectors, new fans and nostalgics alike!
„At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig / So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig / The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate / So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits“ Unforgettable words echoed by thousands of thirsty pirates for a whole decade now! Back in 2008, Alestorm were mere newcomers and beginners - and yet they created a modern metal classic and a completely new subgenre. Captain Morgan`s Revenge marks the birth of Pirate Metal as we know it today and turned a couple of young Scotsmen into the hottest band of the moment. Ten years later their boozy debut gets its well-deserved anniversary treatment: Captain Morgan`s Revenge - 10th Anniversary Edition has received a fresh remix and remastering by original producer Lasse Lammert at his LSD studios plus rejuvenated artwork. The „Live At Summer Breeze“ bonus disc is a true gem for all collectors, new fans and nostalgics alike. So what are you waiting for? More wenches and mead!

#Alestorm
I bet those sailors never though they’d still be sung about hundreds of years later and listened to by millions on some black magic light devices
If pirates of back in the day heard this shit they'd be singing along with alcohol in their hands.
@@Celestial_Being666 And loving every second. They'd probably even sing this shit on their ships.
@@brandonhey7797 One can hope, it would make hunting them down a little bit easier.
Yeah bet they didn’t
@@nilsingvar7319
Found a simp for the Royal British Navy. 🤣
hope the neighbors like this one
Update: it's been a few years, the neighbors next door loved it so much they moved away, probably to sail the seas and live their dreams of a pirate life, the other neighbors loved it so much they called the cops to come over and listen, now the cops are taking me away, probably so I can play the song for them at the jail
I bet the police will.
@Rabbi Shekelberg fuck off
They better because it'll be audible for miles lol
Lol same
i played this shit so loud me nieghbors moved... not much of a loss, they clearly had poor taste.
I love how they're singing so excitedly about the terrible curse on them
the best part, the make the best outa a shit situation
Hehe like number 100
They are excited about the release death will bring.
That's Alestorm for ya. Excited by terrible situations! Lol.
@@potatoguy2834 hehe like nobody care
Captain Morgan's Revenge sounds like a wicked hangover
Oh yeah, that's the curse of the Captain haha!
Also sounds like a ship name to.
That's what the song is about. :D
It is
Captain Morgan could be the name of the rum 🤔
I like how the lyrics makes it sound like they just felt guilty about what they did. Captain Morgan put it in their heads that his vengeance hung over them, and they just couldn't stop thinking about it until they longed for the release of death.
A movie about this story would be incredible.
A LS I agree
Ties de Jong *How?*
Ties de Jong Captain Henry Morgan is also one of the most famous pirates of the Golden Age, with the rum named in his honour
Ties de Jong you don't know much about pirates then m'lad
Captain Morgan was a very honourable man.
Actually, Captain Morgan was a privateer, not a pirate...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Morgan
So what do you do for a living?
I’m in a heavy metal band!
Oh cool! What instrument do you play?
The concertina...
Accordion is perfectly fine and badass if you're in a Pirate metal band :D
@@Thomas.Wright they did indeed
@@wulfricr7635 It also works for mexican corrido groups
@@Thomas.Wright whoa, they dont have patty gurdy anymore?
Will do, thanks!
Not sure why I randomly remembered Alestorm today, but listening to a bunch of them again now. This was always my favorite song of theirs
Listened to that song while being stationary in a psychiatry. Got me through some rough seas.
I almost feel like a deeper meaning in this song is that you should go through life without fear. We will all "dance the hempen jig" some day (maybe not literally), so "take another swig." Enjoy life, live it all, take no regrets, for the afterlife awaits.
That makes this song more
well thats exactly what its about. the hmpen jig means to be hung
The pre-Islamic Arab poet Tarafa once said: By your life, the time is not, except borrowed; so provision yourself with what you can from the goodness of it
Ill smoke a bowl to that my friend
Your Interpretation reminds me of "Always look on the bright side of life"
Captain Morgan's Revenge...the hangover you get after a 40-oz bottle of dark spiced rum.
It's a bad day for sure.
@owen bevans same xDDD
Especially if you drink it by the pint !
"Captain Morgan's Revenge...the hangover you get after a 40-oz bottle of dark spiced rum."
The bottle is laughing at you in the morning.... ha ha ha
@@scsi_joe Personally, I prefer Kraken over Captain Morgan, but the latter is generally cheaper.
10 years have passed but this album is still one of the best that I ever heard
half of the songs I dont like but the other half are my favourite.
So come take a drink, and drown your sorrows!
and all of our fears will be gone till tomorrow!
Yeah! Half of the album is "Meh" and the other half is "FUCKING YEAH!"
yeah, I agree. There isn't one song that I don't want to listen to on that album
Is Alestorm the band of Pirates we need?
No, it's the band of Pirates we *DESERVE.*
We do not deserve
@@patrykszczygie7295 But we sure as hell need them.
@@MrMaselko Indeed we do
I back your statement Zysoth
Do we deserve them? They're too good for us
10 years old but still one of Alestorm's best song !
old good alestorm stuff
Let's be honest, this is so catchy! But aren't they all :D
That's why we love Alestorm !
@@Metalizer Much of their new stuff is good too. Call of the Waves is a particular favourite of mine.
Old rum tastes better 🏴☠️
Davy Jones would be proud.
Aiephrus Goldwing dava jonas
Only pimbada
Aiephrus Goldwing indeed He would
PIMBA
Dava Jonas
One of my favourite albums. People argue over music so much but hell, I love me some pirate music and I couldn't care who doesn't like it.
Ghorza
Your profile picture...
That's the face I want on my crew.
Its called a sea shanty, you whippersnapper
My goldfish have heard this song , now it's a drunk goldfish .
Lmao, HAHAHA! 🤣
Try it one more time. Shoulda become a drunk shark.
Now its a drunk shark
@King of Spades I think these are the types of comments he was making fun of. There are so many comments of animals changing species after hearing a metal song, it just gets old.
It’s the Kraken!
I literally *just* poured myself a Captain Morgans & Root Beer (light on the Root Beer of course). 12 hours after this is posted. How can I *not* raise a toast to Alestorm?!
This drink is now called an Alestorm
Im trying this!
You should have added cola
can we just acknowledge how theyre calling getting executed via hanging "Dancing the Hempen Jig"
An amazing metaphor
Yup, and ages old pirate saying, gotta respect the thought put into these songs.
They didn't invent that
@@VisceralVerbals I'm pretty sure Alestorm invented the concept of execution via hanging. I read Wikipedia, I think I know a thing or two. :^)
Oh damn I just made that connection
Im old man. Seen all heavy metal since early seventies. Alestorm is the best. These guys are genius!
When I was little, my dad had this album and this was one of my favourite songs on it. Every time I hear this, I can remember trying to sing along with my squeaky little four year old voice and dad laughing.
Definitely been awhile since then but I will always love this song and this music ❤❤❤
your dad seems like he knows about good music
amazing :)
"Captain Morgan's revenge" that's a good name for a rum hangover.
Thats what this song is about
To those gettin drunk listening to this song
Always take a swig of rum when they say that line
Cheers to you as well!
Cheers!
Aye
Aye I’ll drink to that
The lyrics of this are so sad yet you feel so pumped at the same time.
Alternate lyrics for 1:16
From deep inside the family car there came an awful curse.
For Dad was trying to fold the map the way it was at first.
ha
😂😂😂😂😂
I think you mean 1:16
Amazing 😂😂
LMAOOO
This song is playing at my funeral
there's better stuff to be played than this for funerals
ipez10 like Fuck you with an anchor.
You heavy metal beast
You know what's playing at your funeral? Wait! Are you dead?! What the fuck kind of ghost bullshit is going on here.
No grave but the sea
Ten years have passed now. Yet, Alestorm lives on! Definitely sounds a lot crisper than the original and can I hear a few extra parts added in? I was still in school when this classic came out.
I think it’s an extended edition so yeah probably
A "pint of rum"... Wow ! That's hell of a lot of 40° alcohol...! :D
Nah that's a pisser.
63° in Jamaica!
Aye 🍺☠
I've had half a pint of Rum on 2 occasions. It didn't end well either time :D Pirates / Navy Officers would have actually been drinking "grog" by the pint, which was watered down Rum, sometimes with added lime and sugar syrup, intended to keep them hydrated more, while rationing the alcohol. That's how I remember it anyway when I was a pirate in the 1700's
ya drink the much in an hour, you literally would die.
I still remember their demos when the band were called Battleheart. Great stuff!
I misspelled one of my favorite bands and stumbled upon this amazing band. An instant new favorite!
I went to a Halestorm concert by mistake last year... lol
Alestorm, Halestorm, they're both good
I see you're a man of class.
Captain Morgan's Revenge"
Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
We took up arms and slain the officers of rank
And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank
And as he fell down to the depths
He swore a deadly curse
"As sure as hell's my final fate
You'll all soon die, or worse"
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
We returned to port with sorrow in our chests
An evil shadow followed us on every quest
Never to feel joy again was our fate
Only misery and death, fear and burning hate
We broke the law, betrayed the code
Now time is running out
An unforgivable offense
Of that there is no doubt
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
Many years have passed now
Yet the curse still lives on
And now we rot in a black prison cell
Waiting for our true calling in hell
But for the lives we leave behind
Don't shed a tear, don't cry
The only way to break this curse
Is for us all to die
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife awaits
I like the new full party mode Alestorm, but this epic dramatic tone they used to have will stay in our hearts forever
Agreed x100
who needs more pirate metal bands when you have ALESTORM? YARG!!! Congrats on the 10th anniversary!!! To many more sea plundering songs !!! Arggg!!
Listen to Ye Banished Privateers as well, you won't regret it.
Depends how you like your Pirate Metal. That's why we also have bands like Swashbuckle, Redrum and Running Wild
Redrum is murdeR backwards
Goat Say it ain't so....
Thank you
What a great album. And what a phenomenal band. Had the pleasure of seeing them live front row at warped tour. 10 years goes by fast when every time you hear this song it's like the first time. I raise my pint of rum to Alestorm for another 10 years of amazing music!!!!
Samuel zambie I'm 16, but I also raise my pint of rum!
Captain Morgan has always been my go to liquor because it doesn't give me hangovers, and fucking cheers to still being drunk and listening to this 10 years later!! Have to listen to this song at least once every drinking sesh
How about 12
Dont worry about Captain Morgan, the real revenge was the revenge we had along the way.
3:57 that pokemon stadium theme came out of nowhere
It almost sounds like the runescape Theme
This song is so FUCKING GOOD
I wish people would understand just how fucking good this song is.
At this point I´m so used to it sounding like my speakers break at 00:19 that I almost kind of miss it in this remaster :D
Dude that remasters makes it even more perfect.
No, its awful
Bleach Dark shut up
@@thejbo777 people are entitled to their own wrong opinions
The drums sound so weak and flat and the vocals are waaaaay too upfront
1000 years from now when future archelogists dig this piece of art up, i hope they have some quality rum to drink with this.
This was released on my father's birthday, he loves Alestorm
Good dad
Many years have passed now! Yet, my love for this song still lives on!
Good Drinks, Bad Drinks: 10 years of Alestorm
Big respect to the bassist!
I have listened to Alestorm for only 2 months now, but I genuinely think that this is the most epic metal song ever
@@Thomas.Wright Nah, maybe I'll give them a try someday
@@Thomas.Wright Oh yea, the hurdy gurdy player
I found the Historical Metal
I also found Christian Metal just now
And oh boi there is also a Pirate Metal what a great day
@@Stroika69 YES!
Let me tell you about
dwarf metal = wind rose
Brothers of metal= Norse metal
Berserker metal = beast in black
Note in berserk metal is that not all songs are about berserk but the ones I know are
Beast in black, die by the blade, to the last drop of blood, broken survivors, the band of the hawk, zodd the inmortal and there is still some that I don’t remember
Space hammer fantasy (I think that’s accurate?) metal - gloryhammer
My friend
You must check Running Wild out...
@@elpsykoongro5379Undead corporation kissing the mirror unlucky mopheus= Touhou metal
I will never forget the first time i heard this back in 2010
On a camping trip, I had a bit of an...."experience" with some Captain Morgan BLACK spiced rum. I declare this song my personal anthem :D
10 years ago I had 23 and I had just discoverd power metal.
I’m so happy pirate metals a thing.
Listening to Alestorm all Christmas!! Merry Christmas everybody!!!
Oh wow, a remaster that's actually worth a damn.
Alestorm should make a music video for this
This is amazing. One of Alestorms best songs in my opinion. The beginning feels like the music is raining down on me. Thats the best way i can put it.
pirates + metal = perfection
If i can choose 3 songs for my funeral this is definitly one of them.
just now i got the idea to buy myself a bottle of Captain Morgan and drink all of it while playing this song on repeat.
this band will never get old .
This song is basically “if we’re going down, we’re going down fighting “
You know you've found a great song when you can play it over and over and over again and it only gets better. I can't believe I'd never heard of Alestorm prior to a few days ago!
5:37 on. Soooooooo amazingly epic.
I love how all the words appear RIGHT AFTER they say them so you can't sing along, lol. The best 10/10. Amazing song, I'm a fan.
Well if youre a fan, you dont need the lyrics😏
Its really a beautiful creation. Alestorm must continue their pirate journey.
This will forever be one of my favorite Alestorm songs!
It's amazing how they got the Grumpy Old Troll from Dora to sing for them!
And now I want to see the character in question singing "fucked with an anchor"
dose anyone else want to sit down a watch every good pirate movie ever?
Name 5
Bruce Coulter "Chrissy B and the oh wows" is a classic
Or the TV series Black Sails
I love the smell of Napalm in the morning. Just what I wanted today.
This is the song that made me start drinking captain morgans. People at work think I'm daft with that as my reasoning, I tell them they need more rum and then they'll understand.
Give Kraken a go mate, might just change your life 👌
@@fkane6125 I neck kraken from the bottle. It is indeed the drink of the gods 👌
Been playing this for days now, think my neighbours like it they smashed my window and as I looked out there was loads of people out there screaming. Ain't it great when you find people with great taste of music as you.
That sword wielded by the pirate in the picture. It’s a type of sword called a “rapier”. They are designed to maximize thrusting lethality. But unlike a smallsword, rapiers have sharpened edges. This lets them cut, although not as well as a sword meant for that purpose. One good thrust with a rapier, and unless you’re fighting Wolverine or Deadpool the enemy is done for.
"I play in a heavy metal band"
"What instrument do you play?"
"The Vibraslap"
10 years.. isn't that a great life expectancy for a Pirate?..Just Saying..lol
those are some deadly preteens.
Txtspeak debatable
How many years did Henry Every run? The man caused hell and managed to retire peacefully. I'd say he had the best run out of most pirates.... And a rather long life for one.
@Cribbage Patch Kid If your British hes a privateer if you not hes a pirate
The real mortal thing was getting sick
imagine listening to all kinds of metal for 25 years and never heard of Pirate Metal.
or whatever label people use it.
excellent stuff fellas.
When you drink too much rum, the shit you take the next morning is Captain Morgan's Revenge.
How do some people not know Captain Morgans Revenge?! It's one of Alestorm "signature" songs they play at literally EVERY show (at least the ones I've been to and seen on TH-cam). But I'm glad you all seem to like it, one of their best songs ever :)
Everytime I listen to certain songs by Alestorm, I can hear my inner Metal-Blackbeard screaming out 🤘🏴☠️🍻
Countless years ago while lost in barren seas
There whispered murmurs of a bloody mutiny
We took up arms and slayed the officers of rank
And with swords drawn made the captain walk the plank
And as he fell down to the depths
He swore a deadly curse
As sure as hell's my final fate
You'll all soon die, or worse
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend
At sunrise we'll all dance the hempen jig
So raise up your pint of rum and take another swig
The curse of Captain Morgan has led us to this fate
So have no fear, and don't look back, the afterlife
Awaits
We returned to port with sorrow in our chests
An evil shadow followed us on every quest
Never to feel joy again was our fate
Only misery and death, fear and burning hate
We broke the law, betrayed the code
Now time is running out
An unforgivable offence

Many years have passed now
Yet the curse still lives on
And now we rot in a black prison cell
Waiting for our true calling in hell
But for the lives we leave behind

The only way to break this curse
Is for us all to die
Now as we stand before the gallows
Waiting for the end
I'll say these final words my friend
Everybody Jump \>∆
"Dance the Hempen Jig". There's one I haven't heard before.
Ikr? I had to look it up when I figured out what he was saying. That's one of the myriad things I love about these guys. The speech patterns of the way they write, we'd never talk like that over in the states. Yet, it's so poetic.
I need this on the new Pirates of the Caribbean
This was my first Alestorm song, and I am convinced it changed my life for the better!
This is the best pirate metal ever. Long life to Alestorm! 🤘
When I am long dead, at my funeral I want it to not really be sad, but instead a party, there will be food and drink everywhere, there will be rum, and I will have this song playing.
A person after my own heart.
I swear it's the best thing that actually exist in non-popular music. There is nothing better than Alestorm and glass of rum.
All the dislikes are from the drunken sailors who missed the like button
"Alestorm" sounds like a perfect night out. "Let's go on an alestorm." :D
Discovered Alestorm half an hour ago. Now I never want to listen to anything else.
When you drink the whole bottle and don’t leave anything for your friends at the party
i wonder what would happen if actual captain morgan heard this song
I'm listening to this while playing AC4: Black Flag
Praise to you, mate
Arguably the best pirate game ever
Perfect.
Me to... But i am done whit the game so i cant do IT any more😥
@@rhanabanana4552 there's always sea of thieves
The intro for this song is fucking epic
Probably my favorite of the Alestorm songs I have listened to so far. The intro was wonderful.
The most innovative band in ages
Not really, the last album starts to lack inspiration... Plus this is a remaster of an old song
Atryas R. Meeeeeh, frankly, I don't see how they got worse. I like them as they were 10 years ago, and as much as they are now
Innovative? Running Wild did the pirate thing back in the 80s and the music itself is pretty much standard folk/power metal...Sweet band anyway
You don't like their last album? well fuck you with an anchor!
Arakniode When did I tell they got worse ? I said it's starting to become redundant, the songs are not as 'researched' as they used to be. The band is good but they kinda reach the bottom of what they could dig in my opinion
And for the last comment, I really hope you're 10, otherwise I feel deeply sorry...
Listening to this while making scrambled eggs
Blessed by Satan they turned into Captain Morgan‘s eyes
Blessed by Satan I always listen to this while studying and playing pool
A G Fuck satan, just make scrambled eggs
The eggs are now Dodo eggs, and your coffee is a flask of fine rum.
Blessed by Satan I listen to this while doing Homework
Met alestorm on my 18th birthday when they were supporting DragonForce in Newcastle at the o2 academy, coolest dudes ever, absolutely outshined the headline act, got my picture taken with them and ticket signed, awesome night
Hell hath no fury like a vengeful man with nothing to lose.
Perfekt Piraten Song
Do you know the German pirate band Storm Seeker?
I really love the riff from like 39 seconds to 57 seconds. You could make an incredible song if you flesh that out just a bit. It's really amazing.
Happy 10th anniversary, Alestorm. Keep kicking pirate metal ass!
I somehow ended up at pirate metal while going down the TH-cam rabbit hole.
I am not disappointed. TH-cam algorithm is working pretty well.
Alestorm never disappoints
