Alestorm performed in Tilburg, Netherlands, on October 24, 2019, at Poppodium 013, delivering a raucous show during their "No Grave But the Sea" tour. Formed in Perth, Scotland, in 2004, the band broke through with "Captain Morgan's Revenge" (2008), but this set leaned on "No Grave But the Sea" (2017). Their pirate metal style features Gareth Murdock’s fast guitars, Elliot Vernon’s accordion riffs, and Christopher Bowes’ boisterous vocals. "Drink" was the set’s centerpiece—a rollicking track with a brisk tempo, gang choruses, and a tavern vibe that captures their humor and spirit. "No Grave But the Sea," their fifth album, solidified Alestorm as genre leaders, mixing more folk elements into their sound and winning over fans. Bowes sang with gusto, firing up the room, while the band kept the pace tight, boosting the live energy with accordion and keys. Filmed by Napalm Records, the gig filled 013’s large hall: lighting focused on the stage, and the sound was loud and clear, suiting their chaotic flair. This show was part of a global tour, reinforcing their rep as one of metal’s most fun acts. That autumn night in Tilburg buzzed with pirate-fueled chaos and left a mark on Alestorm’s live legacy.
