Symphonic metal trailblazers Visions Of Atlantis set sail alongside German medieval metal titans Saltatio Mortis on the brand-new single "Reckless Sailor (Black Flag Rises)". Reimagining the legendary sea shanty "Drunken Sailor", the piece arrives with an official visual companion, created in collaboration with Ubisoft Germany to celebrate the launch of Assassin's Creed™ Black Flag Resynced.

With the unmistakable vocal performances of Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli, Visions Of Atlantis infuse the newly arranged classic with their signature cinematic symphonic metal spirit. Blending driving guitars with maritime melodies, Saltatio Mortis transform the iconic shanty into a powerful anthem of freedom, courage, and life beyond convention — an epic musical adventure perfectly capturing the spirit of Assassin’s Creed™ Black Flag Resynced.

The accompanying video — produced as a live‑action short — draws heavily on the game's atmosphere, featuring Saltatio Mortis frontman Alea in full Edward Kenway cosplay, complete with historically inspired leather attire and pirate‑era weaponry. The clip's tavern scenes, sword fights, and pirate crews evoke the cinematic world of the Caribbean, mirroring the game's iconic imagery.

Following the critically acclaimed albums Pirates (2022) and Pirates II – Armada (2024), Visions Of Atlantis have firmly established themselves among the leading forces of modern symphonic metal. Their collaboration with Saltatio Mortis unites two bands driven by a shared passion for adventure and captivating storytelling, breathing new life into one of the most enduring sea shanties of all time.
