Scottish party pirates ALESTORM are back with their eighth studio album, The Thunderfist Chronicles, set for release on June 20, 2025, via Napalm Records. Featuring eight brand-new anthems, this album delivers blistering riffs, wild shanty-driven melodies, and hilariously over-the-top lyrics—taking metal on the high seas to new, chaotic depths!
The Legacy Continues
The Thunderfist Chronicles follows the band’s epic seventh studio album, Seventh Rum Of A Seventh Rum, which climbed the charts worldwide, hitting No. 5 on the U.S. Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts, No. 7 in Germany, and more. After releasing the Voyage of the Dead Marauder EP last year and touring extensively, ALESTORM is setting sail once again—this time with their most bombastic and outrageous adventure yet!
Christopher Bowes on The Thunderfist Chronicles
Frontman Christopher Bowes shares his thoughts on the new album:
“This album is weird and full of difficult riffs that I already regret. There’s a bunch of fun things to discover—like a cover of a song by our friends in NEKROGOBLIKON, a whole lot of heavy stuff, and the longest song I’ve ever written (over 17 minutes long), featuring guest vocals from Patty Gurdy (everyone’s favorite hurdy-gurdy player) and Sir Russell Allen (SYMPHONY X singer and my favorite vocalist of all time).”
