I don't understand the negativity toward this artist. Maybe it's that she's seen as an "outsider" that popped up one day and decided to make black metal (and ends up sounding as good or better than a lot of "real" black metal bands). Xenspell

Alestorm return with another batch of rollicking pirate metal. Swinging, sawing keys, “yo-ho-ho” sing-along choruses, and riffs for days. Bandcamp New & Notable May 29, 2017
The album of change. Shorter songs and the total absence of Matthieu's growling. I must say that I miss that, but this new road is not bad at all: the album is now not Gothic at all but it's even more contemplative and oniric, with a heavier riffing and drums, and Carline's voice which aims to hide emotions and it seems like a breeze, or a brume, walking along the gloomy mood of this amazing album.
