Storm Seeker, forged in the depths of maritime fascination, is a pirate folk metal band that's been sailing the heavy seas of music since their inception in 2013. Hailing from Germany, they have built a reputation for blending traditional instruments like the hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa, and accordion with the unyielding power of metal. Their music encapsulates the rollicking lifestyle of seafaring raiders, mixing sea shanties and folk melodies with heavy guitar riffs and raucous vocals.

The band's discography showcases their evolution and commitment to the pirate theme, with performances that dominate both studio recordings and live settings, as evidenced by recent releases such as "Drag O Below" and "Miles and Miles" recorded live in Stuttgart. The treasure trove of their work is diverse yet distinct, from the anthemic vigor of "Nautic Force" to the playful singalongs of "Wellerman (Sea Shanty Folk Session)" and "How to be a Pirate." Storm Seeker's "Calm Seas, Vol. 1” shows the band’s range, while tracks like "Guns Don't Cry" and "Deathwatch Beetle Party" solidify their place as stalwarts of pirate folk metal. With an undercurrent of humor and a flag hoisted high for adventure, Storm Seeker delivers a potent brew of hearty music that could resurrect Blackbeard himself for one more dance on the deck.
