Closely following its recently wrapped and highly successful tour of North America, Visions Of Atlantis is back at sea to release its stunning second single and video, "Monsters", from its forthcoming full-length, Pirates II - Armada, set for release on 5 July via Napalm Records.
The new track, "Monsters", is a haunting musical adventure illustrating the confrontation with inner monsters, beginning with calm passages that burst into a rhythmic refrain, showing off the full musical power of the pirate queen Clémentine Delauney and brave captain Michele Guaitoli. With this preview of the second chapter of the pirates' saga, Visions Of Atlantis proves that it is more than ready to claim the crown of symphonic metal and is eager to take stages by storm on its European tour this autumn. Visions Of Atlantis' raid will begin with its fulminant album release show in Aschaffenburg on 6 July. It will continue in the autumn with the extensive Armada tour boasting 33 shows all over Europe - the biggest headliner tour of its promising career. Brace yourself and get ready for this unique symphonic metal spectacle!
Vocalist Michele Guaitoli comments: "We fought the raging storms, the most dreadful foes and the darkest nights. Yet the worst enemy appears to be something we cannot face with cannons and sabers. This battle will be the hardest, as it's time to look straight the eyes of the 'Monsters' inside of us. Proud and without fears, we're ready. Are you?"
