• Hoist The Sails! Crank The Volume! Pirate Metallers CALICO JACK's New EP "Jack Speak Shanties" Is Out Now! + Music Video “Wellerman”

  Jul 18, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  After conquering the Caribbean with cannon-fire and swagger, Italian pirate metal act Calico Jack set sail for colder seas with their brand new EP "Jack Speak Shanties", a wild tribute to the sea shanties that shaped their pirate souls.
  ​
  Marking the occasion is the new single and music video “Wellerman”, a dramatic reinterpretation of the legendary 19th-century whaling anthem. Fueled by Viking metal grit, Scandinavian flair, and original riffage, the band breathes new life into this maritime classic, now paired with a stunning video where Calico Jack sheds their Caribbean garb and embraces the rugged look of old-school whalers.

  5 tracks. 5 tales of salt, rum, and myth.
  From the fierce cries of “The 24th of February” to the Celtic melancholy of “Spanish Ladies”, the EP "Jack Speak Shanties" is not just a record. It’s a roaring, storm-soaked homage to nautical tradition.
  ​
  ​“This is a love letter to the songs that made us,” says guitarist Toto. And it shows.
  ​
  Hoist the sails. Crank the volume. The shanties have returned — pirate metal style.

• TROLLWAR’s Symphonic Melo-Death EP “Tales from the Frozen Wastes” ft. Guests From Kalmah, Atavistia

  The wait is over! Quebec symphonic melodic death masters Trollwar are proud to present their highly anticipated EP “Tales from the Frozen Wastes”, out now on November 15, 2024.

  “Tales from the Frozen Wastes” marks a significant evolution in Trollwar's sound, showcasing a perfect blend of their brutal roots with refined symphonic orchestrations and progressive elements. The EP takes listeners on a journey through a dark dimension, exploring themes of fallen deities, the realm of the dead, and the consequences of mortal ambition. The band comments on the changes that can be found on the record:

  “I think our EP could be described as a renewal. A renewal of our music and a new maturity for our music. I do think that you can hear it through our songs in this release. The ‘Unseen One’ and ‘In the Fields of Frost’ are both great songs that we wrote a couple of years ago, while ‘Bane of the Underworld’ and ‘The Offering’ are pretty much the new Trollwar that you should expect going forward. These two songs show a clear upgrade of how we write our music.”

  This release represents the culmination of years of hard work and musical growth Trollwar has dedicated to their sound. They've pushed themselves to create something that's not just heavy and melodic, but also tells a compelling story through both music and lyrics.

  To celebrate the premiere, Trollwar will be hosting a live Q&A session on their official YouTube channel on the release date (Nov 15th). The band will discuss the creation of the EP, share behind-the-scenes stories, and answer fan questions. They are recommended listening for fans of Equilibrium, Wintersun, and Ensiferum.​
