Los Pirates were born in Bergamo, Italy, in the fall of 2001; the band plays an essential heavy metal that takes inspiration from the NWOBHM. In 2003 the Pirates recorded a demo cd that opened them the doors for a lot of live shows. This helped them spreading their name and gaining some local fan-base: their fans founded indeed "the euphoric galleon crew". In the following years Los Pirates refined their musical style and, always sticking to the heavy metal, they tried to mix progressive rock and stoner influences into their music. With the current lineup the pirates entered recording studios again in 2009 to give birth to their first full lenght, "Heavy Piracy". The sound of new album takes inspiration from the big bands of heavy music like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Rainbow, Candlemass and Black Sabbath, but also from Italian progressive rock from the '70s (Biglietto Per L'Inferno, Goblin, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso). A new wave of live shows has been planned to support the new album release and the galleon will weigh anchors for Heavy Metal! This is, summing up, the band's story, the rest is up to those who will be supporting Los Pirates music... each pirate can join the crew and play and important role in the Galleon sailing.
UP THE Los Pirates & eat the rich!!!
