WorpeX, they played "Keelhauled" when I saw them about a week ago, so I wouldn't be at all surprised if they did.

What? No songs with the word "wench" or some kind of alcohol/tavern in the title? I'm shocked.

They would be such a guilty pleasure band, except I can't bring myself to feel guilty about liking them. They're too much fun.

They played Pirate song and Keelhauled when I saw them during the Pagan Knights tour earlier this month. They're definitely an entertaining and fun band to see. Looking forward to the new album

Nice artworks, nice new song, too bad they don't come to Hungary this time..
Oh, and don't you think the song is very similar to Paghania's Fiesta Vikinga?

A real nice cover it is. I like seeing dead pirates like that. Those pirates would win against any Pirate of the Caribbean in a fight (referencing the film series).

The coverart must be one of the worst I've seen...

As for the song; and I thought their debut totally sucks.
Their vocalist sounds even worse on this song and the accordion is just fucking annoying
The violin is nice, have to give them that, but it really can't save this piece of crap

They're amusing to watch live (as the lowest opening band that is) but I really can't understand anyone who's ready to pay money for this album (or their previous one, or a concert they're headlining)

I agree. Me and the other dudes that dislike this song shouldn't be here.
We all know already that this band is a pure joke

Seriously... I listened to the song on that website. The violen was ok. But like Bas said: It can safe the band by any means.

"Keelhauled" its not as good as I thought :-/... Maybe they are already lacking in creativity...

I agree. Such a mediocre and boring band with awful vocals, I don't understand why people make such a fuss about it. (though if they're the kind of people who think anything remotely Powermetal is great, then it explains the situation very well)
