│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After successful series of support shows for the ║ │
│║ PRIMAL FEAR/BULLET "Eagles & Lions European ║ │
│║ tour" in 2014, the Galactic German Space Pirates ║ │
│║ are back with a new found spirit and some sharp ║ │
│║ laser knives, their new album is a special CD ║ │
│║ rightly titled ôCaptain's Lootö, it was crafted ║ │
│║ under the expertise studio guidance of veterans ║ │
│║ from the German scene as Rolf Munkes (ex EMPIRE ║ │
│║ / MAJESTY / RAZORBACK) and Charles Greywolf ║ │
│║ (POWERWOLF), and this is indeed a special treat ║ │
│║ for all the Teutonic fans, Heavy Metal ║ │
│║ traditionalists and True Metal warriors. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This "Captain's Loot" contain a mixture of rare ║ │
│║ re-worked tracks and cover songs. It will be ║ │
│║ also available as digipak, the official release ║ │
│║ date is set for 27th of March 2015 under the ║ │
│║ Massacre Records label . ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The only little reproach, that I can formulate ║ │
│║ is the relative short time of playing concerning ║ │
│║ the original tunes as only the first three ║ │
│║ tracks are among the MESSENGERÆs repertoire, the ║ │
│║ remaining stuff are obviously courageous and ║ │
│║ respectful renditions of ultra Classic songs by ║ │
│║ RAINBOW with the iconic ôKill The Kingö, ║ │
│║ HELLOWEEN & DIO, respectively the sublime "Don't ║ │
│║ Talk To Strangers" & "Dr.Stein"à But more than ║ │
│║ forty minutes of fearless Heavy Metal music ║ │
│║ forged in the most blistering Teutonic Steel is ║ │
│║ too good to be picky! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Some old German Metal legends appearing as ║ │
│║ guests for the following songs, as Miss Jutta ║ │
│║ Weinhold (ex VELVET VIPER) for some duet vocals ║ │
│║ on his ôBlack Bone Songö (from 1989Æs self ║ │
│║ titled single by ZED YAGO from Hamburg) and the ║ │
│║ former RUNNING WILD guitarist Gerald æPreacher ║ │
│║ Warnecke for the anthemic ôPort Royalö, giving a ║ │
│║ true legitimacy to those covers and to this ║ │
│║ compilation. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ If with their penultimate album "See You In ║ │
│║ Hell" (Massacre Records), the MESSENGER team- ║ │
│║ members were able to expand their status as best ║ │
│║ hope in traditional Heavy Metal and convinced ║ │
│║ their fans all over Europe with countless shows, ║ │
│║ their current album "Starwolf - Pt.I: The ║ │
│║ Messengers" wasn't that greatà In my humble ║ │
│║ opinion! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Now, they forget about the too ambitious ║ │
│║ concept, they paid their tribute to the Lords of ║ │
│║ the Heavy sound and they show their allegiance ║ │
│║ to the Metallic orthodoxy, now focused on ║ │
│║ sticking to their original sound as they relate ║ │
│║ to their good old style, the "Captain's Loot" is ║ │
│║ all about recovering their high rank and their ║ │
│║ early credibility. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The songs ôSign Of The Evil Masterö and ôTod Dem ║ │
│║ DJö (German version of their 2005Æs ôKill The ║ │
│║ DJö) were only available in the limited version ║ │
│║ of 2011Æs "See You In Hell" , while ôAsylum XTCö ║ │
│║ is a new version of their anthem from the old ║ │
│║ catalogue, firstly featured in the album of the ║ │
│║ same name in 1994. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ So, dear Headbangers, Earthdogs, Hell Rats and ║ │
│║ Metal Maniacs, let's get ready for a full blown ║ │
│║ assault of double kick drums, bombastic gang ║ │
│║ vocals and backing choirs, catchy timeless ║ │
│║ melodies, sharp guitar riff and the formidable ║ │
│║ high pitched/four-octave-voice of Captain ║ │
│║ Francis Blake aka Siegfried "Siggi" Schⁿ▀lerà ║ │
│║ Attention, fasten your seatbelts for the ║ │
│║ Ultimate Metal Trip through space and time with ║ │
│║ the MESSENGER gang! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Lineup: ║ │
│║ Siegfried "Schⁿ▀ler aka Francis Blake - Lead ║ │
│║ Vocals ║ │
│║ Frank Kettenhofen aka Chainmaster - Lead Guitar ║ │
│║ Patrik Deckarm aka Pyro Jack - Rhythm Guitar ║ │
│║ Benny Strau▀ aka Dr. H.R. Strauss - Bass Guitar ║ │
