After the foundation in 1993, Adorned Brood recorded two demo tapes on their own. A little German label called “Folter Records” got interested in the musical mixture of Heavy Metal, magic clean sounds and folk influences. Therefore the talented band got the chance to record their first studio album “Hiltia” in 1996. The feedback on the first album was awesome, and soon they recorded an new masterpiece, called Wigand 1998. Because of its limitations to 1000 pieces each, today both albums are rare to find and fans pay up to 90,00 Euros in Internet auctions.
Disagreements with record labels and line up changes were dominating the following years, but also forged the band together in their will to carry on.
Finally, under „Moonstorm Records“ Adorned Brood grew up to one of Germany’s most famous undergroand pagan metal acts. With their third album “Asgard” (2000), Adorned Brood released a milestone in the german pagan underground scene. With rising success, a cooperation with Lead singer Erik Hecht from Subway to Sally led to a together recorded song on Adorned Broods fourth album “Erdenkraft” in 2002.
The hard work for both albums was rewarded with good critics, high ratings and interviews in nearly all important metal magazines.
With support gigs on tour with “Subway to Sally” or on Festivals like “Summer Breeze Open Air”, “Partysan”, “Wave Gotik Treffen” or “Feuertanz Festival”, Adorned Brood convinced the metal fans with their unique folk-pagan style, pushing songs and often praised live performance.
Now, Adorned Brood is concentrated on pre-productions for the fifth album, which again will represent the continuously musical growing and developing of Adorned Brood.
Drunken Sailor
Adorned Brood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What shall we do with the drunken sailor,
What shall we do with the drunken sailor,
Early in the morning
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Put him in the long boat until he's sober,
Put him in the long boat until he's sober,
Put him in the long boat until he's sober,
Early in the morning
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Early in the morning.
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Early in the morning,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Early in the morning
The lyrics of Adorned Brood's song "Drunken Sailor" are based on an old sea shanty that tells the story of a drunken sailor and what should be done with him. The repetitive verses, accompanied by a catchy melody, suggest a communal effort to deal with a common problem. The sailor’s inebriation is causing a nuisance, and the crew is left to find a solution for his disruptive behavior. The repetition in the lyrics also adds to the percussive element of the song, making it suitable for singing and dancing. The call-and-response structure of the chorus further emphasizes the communal nature of the song, as everyone joins in to sing along.
The first verse suggests that the drunken sailor is causing a problem early in the morning, which may suggest that he has been drinking all night. The solution proposed is to put him in a long boat until he sobers up. The second verse emphasizes the sailor’s state, as the chorus sings "Hoo-ray, and up she rises," suggesting that the sailor is vomiting from his drunken state. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, adding to the lively, upbeat sound of the tune. The last verse proposes a more drastic solution, suggesting that the sailor's belly should be shaved with a rusty razor. While this may be interpreted as a humorous solution, it also suggests the dangerous and risky conditions that sailors faced while at sea.

What shall we do with the drunken sailor,
How shall we handle the inebriated crew member,
Hoo-ray, and up she rises,
Heave ho, let's get to work,
Put him in the long boat until he's sober,
Place him in a lifeboat until he sobers up,
Shave his belly with a rusty razor,
Remove his body hair with a dull and corroded blade,
