Info
On January 29, 2027, Alestorm lands at the O2 Academy Oxford with its black-flag metal firmly in place. Born in Scotland in the mid-2000s, the group has built its reputation by cobbling together a folk-tinged power metal—driven by keyboards and tavern-refrains—set against tales of naval battles and treasure. From Captain Morgan’s Revenge to Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum, their formula remains the same: fast tempos, crowd-rousing choruses, and a knowingly tongue-in-cheek attitude, crafted to make an entire room sing. Battle Beast rounds out the bill that evening. The Finnish band, formed in Helsinki, delivers a melodic heavy/power metal characterized by tight, precise rhythms and a prominent role for keyboards. Since its notable debut at the Wacken Metal Battle and across a discography spanning Steel to Circus of Doom, Battle Beast has honed effective, direct songs designed for the live show, blending Eighties energy with catchy refrains.
