On a quest for booze we go!
When the five pirates of Calarook board the stage, no barrel of rum remains full. With violin, guitar, bass, drums and growling they create a Pirate Metal that inspires to party, moshing and headbanging. Mixed with Folk Metal parts, Death Metal rolls and sometimes a pinch of bullshit, a sound is created that makes nobody stand still and stay sober.
After the foundation in 2014, songs were eagerly written. The wind was good and even gave them the chance to prove their skills at the Ragnarök Festival. Further shows followed, including at the Meh Suff Winter Festival and the Laurus Nobilis Festival in Portugal, as well as a UK tour. Their debut album “Surrender Or Die” was released on September 11th, 2020, followed by the EP “Cruel and Cold” on April 21st 2023. It is going full speed ahead!
