Skull & Bones is a pirate metal band from Argentina, where is the first to start out in this particular sub-genre of heavy metal. The name is a reference to the fearsome and remarkable design of the Jolly Roger flag, an emblem of pirate symbology. The band takes on themes based on the golden age of piracy, with references from both real historical characters of the period as well as fiction from the genre. Skull & Bones evokes this background through a combination of the most distinctive features of power metal with symphonic influences and folk melodies. This way, it accomplishes a unique musical style of its own. Skull & Bones has recently released their debut album, The Cursed Island, inspired by the classic work Treasure Island by Scottish writer Robert L. Stevenson. The Cursed Island invites a journey through the work of Stevenson, a journey where the listener will live the quest for the booty that Captain Flint buried in the intriguing Treasure Island. A heavy metal adventure crowned by orchestral sections, folk ballads and powerful speedy riffs!
