Following closely their recent and highly successful North American tour, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS return to the sea to release their stunning second single, “Monsters”, from their upcoming album “Pirates II – Armada”, to be released on July 5, 2024 via Napalm Records.
The Pirates of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS are set to take listeners on a heavier symphonic adventure to date with their new studio album and successor to their previous release, “Pirates” (2022).
The album reaches as high as the waves that peak Jolly Roger, taking everything achieved to date to another level.
The new track, “Monsters,” is a haunting musical adventure that depicts confrontation with inner monsters, beginning with calm passages that break out in a rhythmic chorus, showcasing the full musical power of pirate queen Clémentine Delauney and brave captain Michele Guaitoli.
With this preview of the second chapter of the pirate saga, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS prove that they are more than ready to claim the crown of symphonic metal and are looking forward to taking the stage of their European tour this fall.
Their foray will begin with the impressive release concert of their album in Aschaffenburg on July 6, 2024, and will continue in the fall with the extended Armada tour with 33 concerts across Europe, the biggest headliner tour of their promising career so far.
Get ready for this unique symphonic metal spectacle!
Singer Michele Guaitoli comments:
“We fought the raging storms, the most terrible enemies and the darkest nights.
However, the worst enemy seems to be something we cannot deal with with cannons and sabres. This battle will be the hardest, as it’s time to look straight into the eyes of the “Monsters” within us. Proud and without fear, we are ready. Are you?”

Ship’s log:
July 5, 2024; High Seas
A new day of sailing begins, the wind on our side, and the sea speaks of recent battles. The air feels fresh – Hypocrisy, greed, envy – hearts of the old world finally disclose their deluded truth. Old leaders are losing ground, their lies are getting worse, and darkness creeps in. Each sunny day hides a coming storm, nature testing our strength for the last battle.
We’ve become pirates as their counterparts, free-spirited and true at heart. Navigating storms that try to make us doubt, we see the light in the darkness. The old truth is fading, making room for a new story. Our destiny is in our hands, in our hearts, in every step we take. Reconnecting with ourselves, we touch the essence of life we share with all creatures. Together, unstoppable, connected to the truth, guided by the sun and storms.
We’ll rule the oceans, the mainland, every street, every house, spreading hope. Our pirate cries will last for centuries, with ancestors humming our tunes, our words sung in the new world we create. Our glory will live on forever. United as one force, one army, under a final ARMADA.”
