Now Pirate Queen return with their brand-new single William Kidd, the first glimpse of their upcoming second album. The track revisits an old pirate melody the band originally composed more than a century ago, now reimagined as a powerful and cinematic heavy metal anthem.
“William Kidd” tells the dramatic tale of the band’s old companion, the legendary pirate William Kidd — a battle-scarred sailor with a parrot on his shoulder and a sword by his side. Accused of treason, Kidd was sentenced to hang. Yet in his final moments, he cast a parchment map to buried treasure into the air, knowing that among the crowd stood his long-time love, the one person he trusted to catch it. The song unfolds as a romantic and mysterious saga of loyalty, destiny, and eternal love, wrapped in Pirate Queen’s signature blend of epic melodies and dramatic atmosphere.
With “William Kidd”, Pirate Queen invite listeners to leave their troubles behind and set sail once more — embarking on a voyage into a world of fantasy, freedom, and legend. The adventure has only just begun.

This adventure travel anthem is about the pirate Lope de Aguirre, also known as El Loco. The ancestor of our queen, who in the search of enormous wealth and opportunities, discovered the real Eldorado. The song has a positive message. Eldorado is an inspiring melody of triumph of finding pure happiness in life. Each of us carries a treasure within. You can find your Eldorado with Pirate Queen.“

About their new single they had this to say;
Captain Destiny Grieflord states: This must be one of my favourite songs on the album. A symphonic, melodic, epic, adventurous, pirate power metal. The blessing of the ship is an old pirate tradition that is still being practiced on Lyxion island. The Queen’s blessing ensures a safe journey and abundant bounty. Santa Lucia is our main ship on which we sailed to many adventures. It is our home and represents discovery, loyalty and fate. We are on never-ending spiritual journey, sailing with and against the current. The ship carries us through different phases of life.
