Don’t let the fire go out. Following the triumphant release of 2024’s “Pirates II – Armada” and in anticipation of the physical release of live album and web series, “Armada Live Over Europe”, out July 4, 2025 via Napalm Records, international symphonic metal frontrunners Visions Of Atlantis return with an incendiary new music video for “Hellfire”. The track’s explosive energy is brought to life with the video’s dazzling pyro lighting up pirate queen Clémentine Delauney and co-captain Michele Guaitoli as they trade lines of serenity and gruffness. An anthem of inspiration and hope, the band beckons listeners to not let their fire go out and to never stop dreaming of a more fulfilling world.
This new video arrives as the band gears up for a summer of unforgettable live shows, including two very special headline performances — their official release show in Warsaw, Poland on July 4, and an exclusive German headline appearance in Regensburg on July 12. Looking ahead, Visions Of Atlantis’s voyage continues in 2026 with the co-headline Pirates & Kings tour alongside labelmates Warkings, bringing fan favorites to audiences across Europe. See below for a complete list of dates
Pirate Queen Clémentine says about “Hellfire”:
This one is for anyone waking up and finding their own strength and voice again. For anyone tired of listening to whispers that urge us to dim our light. ‘Hellfire’ represents strong minds, unafraid to carve their own paths and unconcerned with others’ opinions. It’s the chant of rebels fighting against those who abuse power to manipulate others. May we all reclaim power over our own lives.

The seas never rest, and neither do Visions Of Atlantis, following the success of “Pirates II – Armada” – #5 on the German and Austrian Official Album Charts, #4 on the UK Rock & Metal Charts, and #2 on the US Hard Music Album Charts, and more – the band began releasing a steady stream of high octane live videos in anticipation of “Armada Live Over Europe”. The titular live album was recorded across several of their electrifying performances throughout Europe, capturing the explosive energy of a Visions Of Atlantis live show, allowing listeners to relive the incomparable spirit of their recent tour from the comfort of home.
Clémentine about the album:
We’re delighted to keep the magic of our live shows alive with this long-awaited release! Now, everyone who has attended one or more shows on our 2024 ARMADA tour can relive the experience at home. We love how our songs from our latest albums are energized and empowered by the live conditions and how the crowd becomes a part of the show, singing and chanting with us all along. This was definitely a tour to remember for us, and we are very happy to have this record as a lifetime souvenir.

Visions Of Atlantis deliver tales of high-seas adventure through cinematic symphonic metal anthems, swiftly rising as high as a Jolly Roger flag since the band’s humble beginnings in August 2000. Since the band’s inception, Visions Of Atlantis has boasted dual vocal power from a male and female vocalist, co-captained today with Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli at the helm. Christian Douscha’s expert guitar work helps propel the brilliant future of the symphonic metal genre. Groove master Herbert Glos infuses his puncturing bass lines with the rolling rhythms of the sea. Steady band cofounder and drummer Thomas Caser anchors the sound with powerful percussion.
Songs like “Melancholy Angel”, “Clocks”, “Legions of the Seas” and “Master of the Hurricane” helped establish Visions Of Atlantis as symphonic metal royalty. Through their pair of critically acclaimed masterworks, “Pirates” (2022) and “Pirates II – Armada” (2024), the band took listeners on immersive adventures, each swashbuckling track serving as a metaphor for perseverance, passion, and emotion.
The new era began in earnest with “Pirates”. “They build the perfect musical platform for one of the finest dual vocal performances I have ever heard,” wrote Metal Rules in a 5/5 review. Praise for Pirates II – Armada was similarly enthusiastic from Metal Hammer and Distorted Sound. “Over 25 years and eight studio albums, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS have established themselves as the pristine epitome of symphonic metal,” wrote Blabbermouth. “Setting sail has seldom been more entertaining.”
Visions Of Atlantis continue to captivate Europe and North and South America with each successive trek- whether headlining or performing at major festivals like Wacken, Bloodstock, ProgPower USA, the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, and the Sabaton Cruise. “Armada Live Over Europe” is a masterclass in performance and a harbinger of the adventures to come for Visions Of Atlantis. All aboard!
