VISIONS OF ATLANTIS
There are tales that will be told forever -
Carried by the wind, through the years, timeless…”
- Unknown
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."
The pirate armada of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS is ready to start a new battle on July 5, 2024 via Napalm Records. With their new opus Pirates II - Armada a new symphonic, cinematic, dramatic, and heavier than ever adventure is about to begin. Emotions, depth, richness of sound - not only a record, but a true hurricane of feelings is what VISIONS OF ATLANTIS is delivering with the second chapter of the Pirates-saga, finally proving that the band is mature and ready to claim the crown of Symphonic Metal. The magnificent chants of the pirate Queen Clémentine Delauney and of the brave captain Michele Guaitoli tell tales of strength, of resistance, and resilience. All-time highest charting in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, UK, USA, Canada, and various other charting positions in Europe, their previous album Pirates set the bar as high as where the Jolly Roger waves on the masthead. After having sailed across the European seas in numerous successful tours over the past 2 years - they crossed the ocean and reached the shores of North- & South America both as headliners and allied with Delain. But not only that: the major European festivals were conquered too, with the live performance at Wacken even being immortalized with the spin-off release Pirates Over Wacken. Furthermore, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS conquered the 70.000 Tons of Metal, the Sabaton Cruise, Progpower USA, Bloodstock Festival UK and several other festivals over the 2 years with the first chapter of Pirates. But now the time has arrived for their next adventure: Pirates II - Armada takes everything that was achieved with the first chapter and exponentially pushes it further.
The first single and title track “Armada” immediately states how driving, rich, and banging the hymn of a pirate army could be. Never before VISIONS OF ATLANTIS pushed their metal attitude that far. In a journey where the listeners can’t resist joining the “Armada” and facing their own battles, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS will put you in front of the “Monsters” inside of you, with catchy melodies destined to endlessly stick in your mind, to be sung forever. The uplifting “Tonight I’m Alive” surprises and captivates the party rhythm of a pirate-party of the last night before combat with the electrifying rumble of the hurricane, a unique and new facet of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS showcasing their talent. The burning flames of “Hellfire” enchant you; the sweetness of delicate melodies accompany you “Underwater”. The cinematic adventure of the over 7-minute masterpiece “The Dead of the Sea” makes you smell the salt of the sea, and makes you feel - in every melodic twist and cinematic orchestral hit - the cannons firing and the battle raging. With your hand on your heart, a tear will shed while mourning under the melody of “Ashes to the sea”.
Produced by Felix Heldt, mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen, orchestrated by Lukas Knoebl and Simon Edward, with the stunning cover artwork of Blake Armstrong, who also took care of bringing the fantastic photos of Robert Eikelpoth into the universe of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS, Pirates II - Armada will reach the stages this summer to find its ultimate level in the headline tour, or better the headline ‘cinematic live experience’ this fall in Europe. VISIONS OF ATLANTIS is back, and your only choice is to join their ARMADA!

Warkings
Warkings is a Heavy/Power Metal band founded in 2018, known for their epic and rousing anthems. Each member embodies a legendary warrior figure – a Roman Tribune, a Viking, a Crusader, and a Spartan. Since 2022, Morgana Le Fay, the mysterious half-sister of King Arthur, has joined the four warriors with her unique voice.
This mystical concept is reflected not only in their appearance but also in their lyrics, which are inspired by ancient battles, myths, and legends. Musically, Warkings deliver classic Heavy/Power Metal with powerful riffs, soaring choruses and an epic atmosphere.
Their debut album, Reborn (2018), laid the foundation for their success. With Revenge (2020), they entered the German album charts for the first time, reaching position 29, while Revolution (2021) climbed even higher to number 13. Their latest album so far, Morgana (2022), earned them a spot in the German Top Ten for the first time, reaching number 10.
In July 2025, they will release their fifth and most ambitious album yet, Armageddon. Produced by Felix Heldt (D’Artagnan, Visions of Atlantis) and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe), it will further solidify their standing in the metal scene.
Through countless tours – including ones with Powerwolf, Feuerschwanz and their first successful headine-tour in 2024 – as well as performances at major festivals like Wacken, Summer Breeze, and Tuska, Warkings have built a loyal fanbase with their explosive live shows and are now considered one of the most exciting bands in the modern Power Metal scene.
