The Dread Crew of Oddwood is an acoustic Pirate metal band from San Diego, California. Their music, referred to by the band as "Heavy Mahogany", is characterized by a pirate theme and heavy use of acoustic instruments. == Biography == The Dread Crew of Oddwood formed as an eight-piece in 2008 after Wolfbeard O'Brady organized a meeting at San Diego Comic Con for fans of the SEGA Genesis game "Ecco the Dolphin". Only eight people showed up to the meeting, and the group formed the band's original lineup. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Dread Crew of Oddwood aren’t just play-acting )〕 A year later, The Dread Crew of Oddwood released their debut album, ''Reign the Helm'', featuring a lineup of Elvil Rumsik, Wolfbeard O'Brady, Riven Rahl, Finwe Theodore, Nathaniel Grizzlejaw, F.R.A.N.C.I.S. (later known as Rouba Juba), Castle, and Victor Crow. The band quickly gathered a following performing at various Renaissance faires around the United States. Soon after the release of ''Reign the Helm'', however, members Elvil Rumsik and Victor Crow left the band, and Smithy Crow joined. In 2010, The Dread Crew of Oddwood released their sophomore album, ''Rocktopus'', as well as their first music video, filmed for the lead single from ''Rocktopus'', "Queen's Decree". Between the release of ''Rocktopus'' and their third album, members Finwe Theodore and Nathaniel Grizzlejaw also left the band, while brothers Stark and Deckard Cordwain joined the group. The band's third album, entitled ''Heavy Mahogany'', was released in early 2012 after a successful crowdfunding campaign. In early 2015, the band embarked on Piratefest, a tour featuring Alestorm as the headlining act and Swashbuckle as direct support. Soon after the tour, long-time drummer Castle announced his departure from the band, shortly followed by Rouba Juba, leaving Wolfbeard O'Brady and Riven Rahl as the only remaining original members. The band quickly announced their new drummer, Legendary Pirate King Eric "The" Brown, who is also a member of Swashbuckle, also known as Chiptune artist Rainbowdragoneyes. In late 2015, The Dread Crew of Oddwood will enter the studio to begin recording their fourth album, ''Lawful Evil'', which they plan on funding using Kickstarter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Dread Crew of Oddwood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
