Pirate Metallers ALESTORM will hit the sea in September and invade Europe with a tour. With them on the ship are BRAINSTORM as well as TROLDHAUGEN as a support act, and also a new record. That will come out on August 4th and is entitled „Sunset On The Golden Age“.

Of course the title of the album is a reference to "The Golden Age of Piracy", which was a period roughly between the years 1680-1720. „During that time all the famous pirates you've probably heard of were doing their thing in the Caribbean“, the band says. „Stealing treasure, kicking the ass of the British Navy, plundering wenches, and so forth.
