Ship’s Log:
23rd April 2024
Dropping anchor, shore after shore, we’re constantly recruiting more brave sailors. While in a port, somewhere, a friendly face was found and happily welcomed aboard for our biggest journey ever: ARMADA. Indeed, we had already sailed over the British seas with this mighty bard from the land of Switzerland. We’re extremely happy to have SERAINA TELLI aboard, making it a perfect match with the compatriots, ILLUMISHADE. The winds are blowing strongly into our sails, the sun is shining, and the currents are in our favor. To the fight, to the battle. ARMADA!

Pirates Visions Of Atlantis are about to take listeners on their heaviest symphonic adventure yet with their new studio album, entitled Pirates II – Armada, set for release on 5th July 5 2024 via Napalm Records. The successor to their high-charting previous release, Pirates (2022), is set as high as the waves cresting the Jolly Roger – taking everything that has been achieved to date to another level. With the second chapter of the pirates’ saga, Visions Of Atlantis prove that they are more than ready to claim the crown of symphonic metal.
Emotions, depth, richness of sound. Not only a record, but a true hurricane of feelings is what Visions Of Atlantis delivers with the new album Pirates II – Armada,. On a journey in which listeners face their own battles and cannot resist joining the ‘Armada’, Visions Of Atlantis will have listeners facing the ‘Monsters’ inside them, with catchy melodies destined to endlessly stick in their mind. The uplifting ‘Tonight I’m Alive’ surprises and captivates with the rhythms of a pirate party on the eve of combat, with the electrifying rumble of a hurricane – a unique, uncharted showcase of talent from Visions Of Atlantis. The burning flames of ‘Hellfire’ enchant the listener before the sweetness of delicate melodies accompany them ‘Underwater’. The cinematic adventure of seven-minute-plus masterpiece ‘The Dead of the Sea’ conjures the salty scent of the sea, making the listener feel – in every melodic twist and theatrical orchestral hit – the cannons firing and the battle raging. Listeners will shed a tear while mourning under the melody of ‘Ashes to the Sea’.
