Raucous Swedish sea marauders YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS are back, ready to set sail once more with their musical journey 'Til the Sea Shall Give up Her Dead, out April 11, 2025 via Napalm Records! After monumental performances at renowned festivals like Wacken Open Air 2023 and a successful tour in 2024, the beloved crew of shanty renegades promises an evocative exploration of 18th-century sailors’ lives, weaving haunting ballads and riotous anthems into a vivid tapestry of camaraderie, loss, and fleeting joy amidst the unforgiving waves.
Opening the journey is "The Cranker", a darkly captivating tale of cursed sailors spiraling into a frenetic dance. Tracks like "Chained Below" confront historical horrors with heart-wrenching melodies that amplify the voices of the oppressed, while "Raise Your Glass" bursts with the clatter of tambourines and whiskey-soaked choruses, inviting listeners to join a boisterous maritime revelry. Meanwhile, "Waves Away", a sorrowful yet beautiful ballad that captures the bittersweet essence of life at sea and "As The Tree Falls” is a haunting maritime ballad of love, loss, and fate and acoustic textures to explore themes of love and loss. The full range and variation of the sea – stormy, shallow and romantic – captured in one album.
15 years have passed since the band was founded after a drunken night at a pirate themed floating bar in the middle of their Swedish hometown, Umeå. After successfully conquering the seas around the world, they gathered more buccaneers for their plundering. These free looters can now look forward to experiencing these powerful tracks live during the band’s electrifying April 2025 tour. With their immersive storytelling, raw energy, and deeply moving performances, YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS are set to transform each venue into a vessel of high-seas adventure. Prepare to be swept away by a musical odyssey that brings the spirit of the ocean to life, one shanty at a time.
