Alestorm - "Shit Boat (No Fans)" (video)

Ο νέος δίσκος των Alestorm κυκλοφορεί ήδη. Το έκτο "ολοκληρωμένο" album των "True Scottish Pirate Metallers" τιτλοφορείται "Curse of the Crystal Coconut" και "βγήκε" στα τέλη Μαΐου. Οι Alestorm μας έρχονται από την Σκωτία. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 2004 ως Battleheart και τρία χρόνια αργότερα (και μετά την κυκλοφορία δύο EPs) πήραν το τωρινό τους όνομα. Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει έξι full length albums, ένα ep, πέντε singles κι ένα split (μαζί με τους Skálmöld)...

Δελτίο τύπου: «“Shit Boat (No Fans)” is about 75 seconds of music that will be stuck in your head forever. It’s pure hedonism and unadulterated fun - a trademark Alestorm tune! Created by students in the Bachelor of Design (Animation & Interactive Media) program at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia.»

Alestorm [on “Shit Boat (No Fans)”]:«Oh wow, everyone knows that short songs are the best songs, so naturally we had to make a music video for the shortest song on our album. This animation was put together by the lovely people at RMIT University in Melbourne, and it features all the classic elements of an ALESTORM video: Magical Girl transformations, giant Hungarian men dropping turds on your garden, rubber ducks, and crudely drawn cartoon penises. Enjoy!»

Aaron McLoughlin (producer on the video): «Yeah, the pandemic has been tough on everyone, but it's going to take a helluva lot more than that to stop RMIT Animation students from drawing pirates. The video took 17 weeks to complete and lecturer Simon Norton did an awesome job producing and directing it under quarantine. Each team member worked from home to create the most epic swashbuckling pirate adventure you're likely to see this year!»
