Get Pissed Off with ALESTORM’s New Single “Frozen Piss 2”

Ice, vengeance, and chaos—ALESTORM arrives with the first single from their upcoming album, The Thunderfist Chronicles, set for release on June 20, 2025 via Napalm Records! “Frozen Piss 2” barrels in with speedy riffs, pub-ready chanting choruses, keytar wizardry, and of course, sheer pirate madness. The track arrives with a new official music video, out today!

The Thunderfist Chronicles drops as the successor to ALESTORM’s epic seventh studio album, Seventh Rum of a Seventh Rum, which peaked at #7 on the German Album charts and at #5 on both the US Current Hard Music and Top New Artist Albums charts, plus many more. Their eighth album appropriately contains eight new anthems packed with wild, shanty-driven melodies and utterly ridiculous lyrics—taking the high seas of metal to new depths.

After the release of last year’s Voyage of the Dead Marauder EP and extensive touring, the band is very well prepared for their next adventure. The Scottish pirate metal legends’ significant presence in the metal scene matches their ability to turn every venue into a boisterous pirate party, for which they are celebrated by their fans and recognized by the critics. Get ready to raise your tankards for their new album, The Thunderfist Chronicles, and join ALESTORM on their wildest adventure yet—louder and more raucous than ever!

Christopher Bowes about “Frozen Piss 2”:
“’Frozen Piss 2’ is the first part of a trilogy of songs on the album that link together in an epic tale about a cursed treasure born of forgotten Sumerian gods, hidden beneath the streets of Bournemouth. Along with ‘The Storm’ and ‘Mega-Supreme Treasure of the Eternal Thunderfist’, it all connects up and reveals eldritch knowledge that’ll melt your brain. Enjoy the riffs and the dogs and the fantastic guest vocals from Shiori Sasaki!”

After the release of last year’s Voyage of the Dead Marauder EP and a journey of extensive touring, the pioneering pirate metal band returned to their ship and once again teamed up with Lasse Lammert of LSD-Studios (Gloryhammer, Wind Rose) for production, recording, mixing, and mastering of The Thunderfist Chronicles. The new album promises a wild ride through raging storms, absurd adventures, and epic battles across the vast ocean blue.With explosive opener “Hyperion Omniriff”, ALESTORM unleashes a tidal wave of melodies that will sweep you off your feet, while “Killed to Death by Piracy” delivers thunderous choruses and crushing riffs worthy of the most legendary sea skirmish. Of course, no ALESTORM album would be complete without a dose of their signature humor—“Banana” is a ridiculously catchy singalong banger that will turn every concert into a drunken pirate celebration. Meanwhile, “Frozen Piss 2” is packed with icy grooves and razor-sharp wit. But it’s not all just chaos and rum-fueled madness—“The Storm” offers a dramatic, sweeping atmosphere, leading into “Mountains of the Deep”, a grandiose, anthem-filled voyage into the ocean’s depths. Then comes the Nekrogoblikon cover “Goblins Ahoy!”, a rowdy, fantasy-infused riot, before the album culminates in its climactic masterpiece: “Mega-Supreme Treasure of the Eternal Thunderfist”. This colossal, 17 minute long, over-the-top epic features heroic choirs, thundering guitars, and a swashbuckling tale that will turn every pirate into a legend.

With The Thunderfist Chronicles, ALESTORM proves yet again that they are the undisputed rulers of the seven metal seas. So, stock up on your rum—this is going to be loud, chaotic, and absolutely legendary!

Christopher Bowes 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 on the record though – we’ve got a cover of a song by our friends in Nekrogoblikon, a whole lot of other heavy stuff, plus the longest song I’ve ever written (over 17 minutes long) which features 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).”
