The Dread Crew of Oddwood | Heavy Mahogany Pirate Music

Oddwood's newest fan-backed creation, Heavy Mahogany, is the band's most unbelievably badass album to date! This is the standard by which all pirate music shall be judged. The album's sound combines the raw energy of punk and heavy metal with four-part male vocal harmonies, Irish traditional music, and nautical folklore to create a brand new musical genre, Heavy Mahogany! There are 15 original tales, two new members and additional folk instruments jam-packed into a 49:30 run-time. This is one beastly undertaking of an album, now order the bloody thing!

After Reign The Helm was met with great critical acclaim, the time soon came for Oddwood to forge a second album. Though part of the crew had been lost, the addition of Smithy Crow on upright bass, some new acoustic instruments, and the involvement of all seven band members in the writing process yielded phenomenal results. With 13 tracks and a solid 47:58 run-time, Rocktopus is bigger, heavier, and more badass than thought possible. This is The Dread Crew as it was truly meant to be! Features "Queen's Decree", from their debut music video. 18-page booklet features lyrics and compositional photography.

The product of a violent, time-altering storm in the Bermuda Triangle, Reign The Helm is The Dread Crew’s mysterious debut album. These eight songs, when met with the public ear, marked a new era of piracy in the 21st century. With a run-time of 28:09, this CD is jam-packed with raw tales of comrades lost, bloody sieges, limitless debauchery, great battles at sea, and drunken festivities, told through riotous, disorderly vocals and incomparably piratical instrumental melodies. If you don't own this album, you have no idea what pirate music is supposed to sound like. What are you waiting for?!
