#heidevolk

On friday we went to a pirate metal concert and it was wild (in the best way possible). Three bands were performing, Heidevolk, Korpiklaani, and Alestorm. The songs slapped, but there was also some WILD stuff happenin' on stage once Alestorm came out. For example: A sudden shark chase that resulted in the shark singing and headbanging along, too.

[Video ID: The band Alestorm performing "Hangover", they are on stage while stage lights flash behind them. One of the performers is wearing a large felt shark hat while headbanging and singing. On the left side there is a Grogu plush hanging from a keyboard. On the right side there are drums with a Cthulu-Skull-and-Crossbones combination.]

Not only did we have that wild stuff with the shark and the Grogu, that big yellow blob behind the performers? It's a giant inflatable rubber duck that they dragged out on stage and blew up real-time. We watched it getting blown up, as the beak was held.

It was honestly glorious. They also had a ton of cool-ass shirts for sale. I wanna go to one of these again. It was my first in-person concert. We've been to one Virtual concert before, but in-person had a totally different feeling.

Oh, on top of all this wild shit we also got a VERY amusing instruction during the song "Wenches & Mead" by Alestorm.

"Sing along, but this time - AS DOGS.", At which the entire concert and lead singer erupted with the lyrics of "Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof woof" continuously. I gotta go to another one of these after that kinda glorious shit.
