There is a new force in the world of metal! Ship Of The Line just released debut single, "The Downfall of Piracy," hearkening a new era of epic music.

Adapted from a poem attributed to Benjamin Franklin, the hook laden track celebrates the defeat of the famed pirate Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard, who after a furious battle was apprehended and beheaded by Lt. Robert Maynard of the Royal Navy on November 22nd, 1718, precisely 298 years to the day from the single's release.

Headed by the brave Captain Hobbs, Ship Of The Line stands ready to defend the cause of epic music worldwide. The admiralty released the following statement:

"For too long have the nefarious forces of piracy held sway over the airwaves. We will no longer stand for such knavery. Ship Of The Line is here to challenge all so-called 'Pirate Metal' bands for supremacy of the high seas! GOD SAVE THE KING!"

Great concept, but fails to deliver. Vocalist and leads suck. Music too generic.
