Alestorm are a noted band on the UK Metal scene, having been covered by Reputable Major UK metal magazines.
They are also signed to a major European record label.
NOTE:
It is not a POSSIBLE Debut album, it is set is stone, with release dates and being fully recorded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mollins57 ( talk • contribs) 14:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but was it not the song "Set Sail and Conqueur" that was included on the Metal Hammer CD? Jonnz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.143.131.179 ( talk) 11:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Please stop changing the band's genre to "Pirate Metal." This is not a canonical subgenre. The band play power/folk metal with a pirate theme. 88.83.119.67 ( talk) 14:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
what about bands like scuurvy, weird beard, running wild, swashbuckle and verbal deception? i would say thats enough for the genre to have its own article, as it is a pretty established genre and not just part of folk metal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.139.124.115 ( talk) 11:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Seems like a pretty simple solution: if Pirate Metal is a genre, create a Pirate Metal article, describing what this genre is. It's not exactly self-explanatory except to people that are familiar with movies depicting pirate shanties in the particular style that has become a pirate stereotype. Do the bands mentioned above all have similar style or just similar theme? I'd say that if the litmus test proposed by 24.63 passes for all the bands mentioned by 86.139, then it's enough to call it a genre. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.73.227.68 ( talk) 19:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC) CHRIS BOWES IS A BEAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is pretty simple guys. Wikipedia requires that you have sourced and verifiable information. It doesn't matter if you, me and everybody we know think Alestorm's music sounds piratey enough to be something completely different. Our opinions do not have a say in what is contained in wikipedia articles. If people can link several different sources that talk about pirate metal and what that means it can be listed as a genre. The point about making it a page is a very good one. If there is enough information on pirate metal that is sourcable to music professionals to create a wikipedia page it can be considered a genre. Until then it is just a casual way of characterizing the bands sound. Genres are not strictly sound characterizations as it is very difficult to describe a band that sounds black or death or power without a person having a previous understanding of what those genres are.-- 128.223.222.64 ( talk) 00:18, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Pirate Metal is clearly not a genre, it's a theme. But I'm not at all convinced that Alestorm are 'folk metal' either. Firstly, they don't use traditional instruments. They're a standard rock band setup with a keyboard. Secondly, very few of their melodies or motifs are actually folk-inspired. They use a synth'd brass section far more often than they use the accordion or any other synth'd folk sound. From my perspective, they're just a folk-influenced power metal band. They don't actually sound anything like other folk metal bands, at all. Having an occasional accordion isn't enough to determine a genre. I'm not going to edit it but I strongly believe that this should be changed to Power Metal, with folk metal as a second or third genre on the list. My two pence. 82.30.173.42 ( talk) 09:46, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
Well.....now pirate metal is a genre according to wikipedia so we have no choice but to let it stay as it is ay? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.142.156.209 ( talk) 22:05, 17 September 2015 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything about the pirate style ship use in the keelhauled video? They also use a pirate ship in a lot of the promotional pictures. Where do you find something like that in the modern world? -- 81.153.252.241 ( talk) 22:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
This band has had so many line-up changes in its short history that I find them hard to follow. Could somebody add a timeline like in Angra (band)#Timeline? -- Florian Blaschke ( talk) 16:21, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
Done. Most of the timelines are approximations, but I think I got it somewhat right. 77.105.197.93 ( talk) 09:59, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
I've added Chris' new band to the "associated acts" in the infobox, but I'm not sure whether to put anything into the body of the article. Their album is out on March 29th, for those interested.

As the headline suggests, Patagonian Pirate Polka should be deleted from the band's genres because it is more of a joke and a self-proclamation by the band. They also list "Bacon Powered Pirate Core" as one of the genres they play, so either we include both - which would be stupid in my opinion - or none of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.88.110.237 ( talk) 16:14, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
