After their 15-year anniversary tour in Europe, Swedish sea-pillagers YE BANISHED PRIVATEERS return with their new album Til the Sea Shall Give Up Her Dead, out April 11, 2025, via Napalm Records. Representing a haunting voyage through the precarious lives of 18th-century sailors, the album explores the omnipresence of death and loss on the open seas. The twelve eclectic shanties weave together tales of tragedy, camaraderie, and fleeting triumphs, highlighting the sailors' resilience in the face of their ephemeral existence. The new record is a lament for those lost to the depths and a meditation on gallows humor and the fragility of life under the shadow of the mast.
