Prepare for a fight! VISIONS OF ATLANTIS and WARKINGS unite for a mighty shared single, “Pirates & Kings”, forging their weapons for the upcoming co-headline tour of the same name. With a sweeping double vocal force and uplifting lyrics, the track showcases both the symphonic pirates’ and the power metal warriors’ strengths. Instantly opening with the impelling chorus, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS and WARKINGS craft an unmatched battle hymn. “Pirates & Kings” heats up the fight – be brave or be gone!
With their new song in tow, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS and WARKINGS prepare to embark on another journey together. Their eponymously named “Pirates & Kings Over Europe” Tour starts February 5, 2026. Kicking off in Pratteln (Switzerland), they play 21 cities all across the continent.
VISIONS OF ATLANTIS singer Clémentine Delauney on “Pirates & Kings?”: “This is no longer a time for division or competition. When threats and tensions rise, the answer is to unite and become allies. This year ends with fear and dark projections; next year is about showing the right response. Tyrants will not prevail, manipulation will not work. We will see through the smoke screen and claim our own truth. We believe that unity is strength. This is a time for collaboration, for opening ourselves to others, and for gathering like-minded souls. We can face anything when we stand with our tribe and our tribe is growing. We’re welcoming new warriors and shield-maidens aboard. Pirates and Kings are launching the movement, leading the charge. Now it’s your turn to join the call. Brave your fear, bring a friend, and reserve your seat for the most epic adventure, a place where a new world is forged, where courage is honored, where emotions run deep, and where your power is real.”
WARKINGS add: “When the tides of chaos swell and the winds whisper of war, the kings must look beyond their own thrones. So we joined forces with Visions of Atlantis — warriors of the endless sea — to remind the world that unity is the strongest weapon. ‚Pirates & Kings‘ is the pact we seal in fire and storm”

Just in time for their upcoming European co-headline tour with labelmates Warkings, symphonic metal pirates VISIONS OF ATLANTIS announce their new album. Armada – An Orchestral Voyage is a masterful interpretation of their successful most recent album, Pirates II – Armada, which gained them top 5 charting positions in Germany and Austria upon its release in 2024. Sailing on through and showing the depth of the music in a whole new way, the album is now reimagined with a completely new instrumental mix on Armada – An Orchestral Voyage! With it, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS compose themselves to accompany your very own adventures, be that reading or gaming (for which they offer exclusive bundles – see below!). With the album announcement also comes the first single: The hauntingly beautiful new rendition of “Ashes To The Sea” follows the gentle notes of the original ballad, sending shivers down your spine.
Clémentine Delauney about “Ashes To The Sea”: “We are delighted to present another immersive work with Armada – An Orchestral Voyage. This very first track, ‘Ashes to the Sea,’ is very dear to me because of the original message it carries. In this version, the words fall silent, leaving space for emotions and vibrations to envelop the listener, who is then free to imagine and feel along with the strings and the beautiful orchestral arrangements.”
Clémentine Delauney about Armada – An Orchestral Voyage: “With this new instrumental record, we truly wanted to enhance the core of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS’s sound: symphonic music. When we released A Pirate Symphony, the feedback from our fans was enthusiastic. With An Orchestral Voyage, we didn’t limit ourselves to repeating a winning formula—we aimed to go even further and offer the epitome of a symphonic piece. Still rooted in an orchestral instrumental approach, all the lead melodies have been passionately and skillfully performed by real instruments such as violins, flutes, and even a duduk! This album turns our latest studio release Armada into the most epic journey—the ultimate symphonic soundtrack to any adventure. To be enjoyed on its own, or alongside your favorite book, outdoor hikes, or game nights!”

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.
