Nautical folk metallers Storm Seeker present their new album ‘Guns Don’t Cry’, in addition to unveiling both a lyrics video and official video featuring Mr Hurley & Die Pulveraffen for their latest single ‘Deathwatch Beetle Party’.

Over the past week, the Düsseldorf pirates have seen a real boom via TikTok, where the sea shanty ‘Wellerman’  has inspired millions. Apparently, this 19th-century sailor’s song speaks to many in pandemic times.

Musical adventurers can expect the full explosion of nautical chants with a vintage sailor look and a new approach to their trademark folk metal sound. With their nautical theme, they serve up a rough and crushing soundscape that is entangled with the sweetness of jumpy folk melodies involving the hurdy-gurdy, nyckelharpa, cello and recorder.

“Guns Don’t Cry’ is our third studio album, where every song is carefully selected and crafted with a passion for detail that lies in the small melodies and instrumental parts. Between the music and these lyrics, we take you on a joyful adventure through the winds and waves of the seven seas,” says Storm Seeker frontman Timothy Abor.
