The symphonic metal sensation Visions Of Atlantis has unveiled “Monsters,” the second single from their forthcoming album “Pirates II – Armada,” scheduled for release on July 5, 2024, through Napalm Records. Following the success of their 2022 album “Pirates,” this new installment promises to elevate their musical prowess to unprecedented levels. “Pirates II – Armada” is poised to further establish Visions Of Atlantis as a leading force in the symphonic metal genre.
“Monsters” delivers a haunting exploration of inner struggles, beginning with tranquil segments that build into a powerful chorus, highlighting the vocal talents of Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli. This track offers a glimpse into the second chapter of their pirate-themed saga, demonstrating the band’s readiness to ascend to the pinnacle of symphonic metal. In support of the new album, Visions Of Atlantis will embark on an extensive European tour this fall, starting with a special album release show in Aschaffenburg on July 6, 2024. The “Armada” tour will cover 33 dates across Europe, marking the most extensive headlining tour of their career to date.
“As a new day begins, with favorable winds and the sea recounting tales of recent battles, the air is filled with a sense of renewal. The deceptions and corrupt hearts of the old world are being exposed. The authority of outdated leaders is weakening, their lies unraveling, and darkness encroaching. Each sunny day heralds an impending storm, testing our strength for the ultimate confrontation.
Embracing the spirit of pirates, we stand free and true-hearted, navigating through storms that seek to sow doubt. In the midst of darkness, we find light as old truths fade, making way for a new narrative. Our destiny lies in our hands, hearts, and every action we take. By reconnecting with our true selves, we embrace the essence of life shared with all beings. Together, we are an unstoppable force, united in truth and guided by the elements.
We will conquer oceans and lands, spreading hope and resilience. Our pirate chants will echo through the ages, with our ancestors singing our songs and our words shaping the new world we create. Our legacy will endure forever, united as one formidable force under a final ARMADA, ready to shape our destiny.”
