Ahoy, landlubbers! Swedish sea marauders YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS are here to rock the boat with their brand-new single “Raise Your Glass”, the second taken from their sixth full-length album ´Til the Sea Shall Give up Her Dead, out on April 11, 2025 via Napalm Records. “Raise Your Glass” is a raucous sea shanty, bursting with the lively clatter of accordion, soaring fiddles, and stomping rhythms. Anchored by raspy, whisky-soaked vocals and exuberant group choruses, the song invites you to join in the boozy maritime revelry. The track is accompanied by a stirring official music video, unveiling a fully immersive world of pirate action. Alongside the video, the band has additionally released a “choose your own adventure” interactive version of the music video. So have a look yourself, would you have done things differently…? Bellows and his crew are waiting for you!
YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS on “Raise Your Glass”:
“This jolly sing-a-long drinking song portrays how the filthy crew of YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS finds friends (and drinks) wherever they show up. We look forward to playing this live to have you all sing and drink with us!”
Opening the journey of ´Til the Sea Shall Give up Her Dead is “The Cranker”, a darkly captivating tale of cursed sailors spiraling into a frenetic dance. 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.
YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS say about the album:
“We wrote this album as a haunting voyage through the precarious lives of 18th-century sailors, exploring the omnipresence of death and loss on the open seas. The twelve tracks weave together tales of tragedy, camaraderie, and fleeting triumphs, highlighting the sailors’ resilience in the face of their ephemeral existence. ´Til the Sea Shall Give up Her Dead is a lament for those lost to the depths and a meditation of gallows humour on the fragility of life under the shadow of the mast.”
