German pirate metal!
Where can you find the best female-fronted German pirate metal?
Only in the 80s.



Here's an actual German Pirate, 'Störtebeker'

supposedly, 'His name is both a nickname and a surname, meaning "empty the mug with one gulp" in Low Saxon. The moniker refers to the pirate's supposed ability to empty a four-litre (about 1 US gal) mug of beer in one gulp.'
Alrighty, Mr. 'Störtebeker'.

(wiki also lists his 'occupation' as: 'merchant, privateer, violent entrepreneur'. Now there's something that wasn't listed as a life option at my school's career guidance book. If only...)

You can tell how they influenced a number of bands by just this one song. Far ahead of their time.
