The violin parts feature folk melodies, I don't know what national origin the typical Hollywood piratey/seafaring music from the 18th century was from, but it sounds exactly as you would imagine pirate music to sound like. It's played on an acoustic violin by session musicians only, and they do not have a live violinist.

ReplyDeletei haven't seen Alestorm live, but i was told they are very "cheerful" and indeed it's a concert you'll enjoy, disregarding the fact they have no live violinist :S
Keelhauled is great, it's fun to dance it!
BTW Eluveitie new album is out, did you like it? Best regards, César
Yes, Alestorm was fun to see live! They have a live keytar player, by the way, which was awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, I guess Eluveitie's new album is out now! I've only heard their singles so far, I thought they're were pretty good, but I'll have to give their album a listen sometime.
Thanks César, I'm glad you're so excited that I'm back! I'll try and post again soon! :)
Listen to Eluveitie's Helvetios, it is very good! Uxellodunum and Luxtos... amazing!
ReplyDeleteTill later! :)
