Formed in 2008 in Southern California, The Dread Crew of Oddwood are becoming one of the biggest independent folk metal acts. Armed exclusively with acoustic instruments, these pirates infuse the raw energy of heavy metal with Celtic and European folk music to tell tales of comrades lost, bloody sieges, drunken debauchery, and all manner of villainous misadventures. The Dread Crew of Oddwood have aptly dubbed this unique style “Heavy Mahogany.”
They have independently released several albums, including Lawful Evil and the follow-up Rust & Glory. Their videos include an explosive clip for the single "Sulfur," a studio compilation for "Dead Man’s Medley" (which earned a placement in the video game Rocket League), and a Disney sing-along style lyric video for the party anthem "Raise Your Pints." The band reports over 30,000 monthly Spotify listeners and more than 32,500 social media followers.
The Dread Crew of Oddwood have performed across North America, the British Isles, and Western Europe for dancing, moshing, drinking, and partying land lubbers. They supported Alestorm on the North America Piratefest Tour in 2015 and the UK Piratefest Tour in 2018, and in 2019 they returned to mainland Europe for a headlining tour that culminated in 9 performances at Wacken Winter Nights in Germany.
Between 2019 and 2023 they wrote and recorded Rust & Glory. Following that release they put out a music video for "Leather Ship," toured North America on the Battle Ballads 2024 run alongside Týr, Trollfest, and Æther Realm, performed on 70000Tons of Metal 2025, and plan to tour in the UK, Europe, and beyond the ends of the earth!
