Pirates board the Black Pearl - Jack Sparrow sends his regards!
When the rum suddenly disappears, the speakers start to creak dangerously and the air smells of heavy rock, then it's clear: Pirates In Black are on the move and are taking over Betty's Black Pearl. Captain Jack Sparrow wouldprobably havenodded approvingly - or at least twitched his eyebrow.
Founded at the end of 2016 by Captain Falo Faltu, these buccaneers of heavy rock come straight from Wuppertal (Germany). Their sound is as honest as a cannonball at close range: solid heavy rock with clear echoes of Black Sabbath and Black Label Society. The band calls it short and sweet:
"Merciless. Lawless. Heavy. Rock."
And yes - that's exactly how it sounds.
In addition to the singing and guitar-playing Captain Falo Faltu, the crew also includes
All the men on board have years of experience in predominantly hard and heavy music. Nothing is polished, smoothed or softened here - at most the neck after headbanging.
The trade press confirms that this ship not only floats, but also fires full broadside. Theo from Burn Your Ears Webzine writes:
"Pirates In Black proves to be an extremely successful debut record. Between powerful groove and casual rock attitude, the debut album takes you back to the heyday of classic hard rock and booms out of the speakers with the same wide-legged charm as the role models of yesteryear."
Conclusion: If you fancy honest heavy rock, a pirate attitude and a good dose of musical cannon blows, you shouldn't miss this concert. The Pirates In Black will capture the Black Pearl - and prisoners will only be taken in front of the stage.
