FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Add a Little Piracy to Your Music Collection

KAYSVILLE, Utah, May 17, 2007 -- With the release of the record breaking Pirates of the Caribbean movies, it's no surprise that fans have been left wanting more. A Salt Lake City-based music group has answered the call with their new album, Last Voyage of the Black Betty. Rust Monster, an all-original pirate music group, has picked up their cutlasses, flintlocks and guitars to create a one-of-a-kind pirate musical experience.

"We're living out our childhood dreams," says Larry Nybo, drummer. "I think everyone has a little pirate in them; it's our job to reach into our fans' souls and draw him out."

Rust Monster's debut album, Last Voyage of the Black Betty, tells the story of Captain Stark, a fictional 18th-century pirate, as he sails his ship, The Black Betty, from port to port, looting the open seas. The story climaxes when Stark meets his old nemesis, Captain Henry Ramos, plucky pirate hunter, and they battle to the death ship-to-ship.
