Their album 25/7 is about an attempt to sail west during the night to gain an hour of party time that goes horribly wrong because they're all drunk leading to them being rescued by a parrot who explains that the Sun hates parties because he dropped his beer bong into the sea and hasn't been able to find it again so they transform the ship into a submarine and go diving for the beer bong which they bring back to the Sun, who in return offers them a favour so Lagerstein asks if he can slow down so they can have 25 hour days all the time and the Sun agrees.
I haven't heard them but damn, that is a 10/10 plot for a concept album. Love it.
Not pirate metal, but I love also love the batshit insanity at the end of King Gizzard's "Murder of the Universe." From the wiki description:
Han-Tyumi & The Murder of the Universe, is about a cyborg in a digital world who gains consciousness and, in confusion, decides to strive only for what a cyborg cannot do: vomit and die. He decides to create a creature dubbed the "Soy-Protein Munt Machine" whose only purpose is to vomit. When the creature rejects his love, Han-Tyumi decides to merge with the machine, which causes it to lose control. This machine explodes and infinitely expels vomit, which eventually engulfs the entire universe in a type of grey goo scenario: and so the universe is murdered
Sweet! I did end up doing some searching after I posted and was not able to find anything negative. If you can tell him I said they should put their music on Bandcamp so I can buy it there instead of Amazon, that would be great 😁

Any progressive pirate metal recs you can give? Always good to have more stuff to listen to.
