Ice, vengeance, and chaos – Alestorm arrives with the first single from their upcoming album, “The Thunderfist Chronicles”, set for release on June 20th, 2025 via Napalm Records! “Frozen Piss 2” barrels in with speedy riffs, pub-ready chanting choruses, keytar wizardry, and of course, sheer pirate madness. The track arrives with a new official music video, out today!
“The Thunderfist Chronicles” drops as the successor to Alestorm’s epic seventh studio album, “Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum”, which peaked at #7 on the German Album charts and at #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts, plus many more. Their eighth album appropriately contains eight new anthems packed with wild, shanty-driven melodies and utterly ridiculous lyrics – taking the high seas of metal to new depths.
After the release of last year’s “Voyage of the Dead Marauder” EP and extensive touring, the band is very well prepared for their next adventure. The Scottish pirate metal legends’ significant presence in the metal scene matches their ability to turn every venue into a boisterous pirate party, for which they are celebrated by their fans and recognized by the critics. Get ready to raise your tankards for their new album, “The Thunderfist Chronicles”, and join Alestorm on their wildest adventure yet—louder and more raucous than ever!
Christopher Bowes about “Frozen Piss 2”:
“’Frozen Piss 2’ is the first part of a trilogy of songs on the album that link together in an epic tale about a cursed treasure born of forgotten Sumerian gods, hidden beneath the streets of Bournemouth. Along with ‘The Storm’ and ‘Mega-Supreme Treasure of the Eternal Thunderfist’, it all connects up and reveals eldritch knowledge that’ll melt your brain. Enjoy the riffs and the dogs and the fantastic guest vocals from Shiori Sasaki!”
