Having been in talks with the biggest rock producers in Sweden - Chips Kiesbye (Sator, The Hellacopters), Tobias Lindell (Europe, Mustasch), Patrik Frisk (Takida, Corroded) - the band chose to work with David Castillo (Opeth, Katatonia) who had already shown himself capable when working on the bands single "Rock Is My Life".The completion of the CD was celebrated together with hundreds of friends and fans at Göta Källare in Stockholm on the 28th of May, 2011. In the fall the band made their first concerts abroad as they did a short tour of the U.S.Captain Black Beard's debut CD has been hailed in the press with tons of great reviews all over the world, from Australia to Brazil, in magazines such as Classic Rock, Classic Rock AOR, Sweden Rock, Fireworks, Power Play, Black Velvet and Red Hot Rock.

Album:
Pride & Joy Music Classixx now re-issues the long-time sold out “Sonic Forces” album with 2 bonus tracks! The CD is limited to 300 copies only and available as Vol. 9 in the Pride & Joy Music Classixx series!Captain Black Beard made their live debut in Stockholm, Sweden on the 31st of October 2009 and released their self-titled album in May 2011. Hailed by the press all over the world, so much it was called one of the 'albums of the year' by legendary journalist Geoff Barton of Classic Rock Magazine. After shows in America and the UK, most of 2013 was spent working on the second album, "Before Plastic", which was released in May 2014. The band also made a return to the UK playing the Hard Rock Hell festival and opening for Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, MSG). This album also got great reviews and featured a guest appearance by Bruce Kulick (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad). In February 2015, Captain Black Beard entered the studio with producer Chips Kiesbye (Hellacopters, Bonafide). They also toured Scandinavia as support act to Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen), Robin Beck and House Of Lords. “It's A Mouthful" was released in March 2016 and the tour started with a comeback to the Hard Rock Hell festival as well as - again - supporting Joe Lynn Turner. By the end of the year the band amicably parted ways with singer Sakaria Björklund. In 2017 a new Captain Black Beard entered the studio to record with producer Jona Tee (keyboardist in H.e.a.t) and in April 2018, "Struck By Lightning" was released to rave reviews. This line-up would however be short-lived and tour dates following the release featured the amazing Linnea Vikström (Therion) as temporary lead vocalist. Early 2019 the band brought in singer Martin Holsner for a co-headlining tour with Osukaru throughout Germany and started to work on a new album with producer Dave Malone (guitarist in H.e.a.t) which led to the band completely reinventing themselves in time for their 10th anniversary. Following a bombastic start of 2020, supporting Geoff Tate on tour, Captain Black Beard is proud to release “Sonic Forces” this coming April. The album was recorded at Yardstreet Studios in Stockholm, Sweden.
