      Hello,

      Can you consider adding the "pirate metal" tag to the genre list?

      It is a subgenre of Folk Metal and can also be linked to Power Metal and Speed Metal.

      Here is the Wikipedia page about the genre: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_metal

          I’d tend to argue that, because of Running Wild, it was first a subgenre of power or speed metal. The folk metal influences seem to creep in later, so it’s difficult to classify.

          In the French version of the Wikipadia page, it is considered as a genre. Here is the translation :

          > Pirate metal is a musical genre derived from folk metal, speed metal, thrash metal and melodic death metal.

          Also, if you go the the Alestorm page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alestorm ), Pirate Metal is listed as a genre (Genres: Pirate metal, folk metal, power metal, heavy metal)

          Groups like Alestorm and Rumahoy are often advertised as Pirate Metal bands (by the groups themself and by the press).

          For me it is a subgenre of the Folk Metal, but music genre are a very subjective thing and maybe you are right.

          The same wikipedia article has https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_metal#Table_of_bands listing the actual genre of every band in the table... which suggests this is a theme but not a genre?
