NOTE:

It is not a POSSIBLE Debut album, it is set is stone, with release dates and being fully recorded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mollins57 (talkcontribs) 14:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Terror on the High Seas

I may be wrong, but was it not the song "Set Sail and Conqueur" that was included on the Metal Hammer CD? Jonnz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.143.131.179 (talk) 11:17, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

Please stop changing the band's genre to "Pirate Metal." This is not a canonical subgenre. The band play power/folk metal with a pirate theme. 88.83.119.67 (talk) 14:36, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Themes can possibly constitute a genre, see black metal, viking metal, stoner metal, christian metal etc... --E tac (talk) 21:27, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that black metal is primarily stylistically defined, so you can play music that's musically black metal but doesn't feature anti-Christian tendencies. Stoner metal is stylistically defined, too. Viking metal is a better example. But pirate metal is a NN genre, having too few bands, and no article of its own, so it doesn't make sense to insert a link saying "Pirate metal" and have it point to folk metal or whatever. The pirate theme is mentioned in the lead-in, that's enough. (Granted, Vikings were a sort of pirates, so perhaps Viking metal could be subsumed under pirate metal as a special case ...)

I've changed the genre back to power/folk metal again. If the band's dumb little buddies could stop adding their side-splitting vandalism to the page that would be just great as well. Radagast1983 (talk) 14:01, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
