Alex \"Hasselhoff\" Tabisz has joined Scottish folk/power metal band Alestorm as their new drummer. The group\'s guitarist, Gavin Harper:\"Alex is from Hamburg in Germany and has already proven himself as an exellent addition to the lineup with his amazing drum skills, hilarious and brilliant guy to hang out with, native German speaker and his uncanny ability to find the only open pub in China town in London at 1:00am!\"
Alex Tabisz is replacing previous sticksman Ian Wilson (Catharist), who left earlier in June \"due to a heavy touring schedule and a career that unfortunately leaves little room for time off.\"
Alestorm, who play Scottish \"pirate metal\", released their debut album, \'Captain Morgan\'s Revenge\', in January 2008 via Napalm Records. They musically resemble battle metal bands such as Korpiklaani or Turisas, albeit with a unique touch and Scottish instrumentation, according to their press release.
