Yar! Alestorm Drop New Single and Video, “Tortuga”

Alestorm’s latest jam, “Tortuga,” is insanely catchy. Is it the subtle electronic beat weaved into the song? The verse by an lively guest rapper? The fact that the bassist is wearing friggin’ flip flops at the video shoot? I really can’t say, but it’s working all the way through. Round of applause for Alestorm, everyone, who continue to find ways to keep the pirate metal shtick from growing boring!

“Tortuga” and the band’s previous single, “Treasure Chest Party Quest,” will both appear on Curse of the Crystal Coconut, which comes out on May 29 via Napalm Records; pre-order here.
