Pirates never rest, nor do the raging seas! Immediately after touring all over Europe and the UK, Visions Of Atlantis surprises their devotees with another stunner and announces the upcoming digital live series, Armada Live Over Europe.
By releasing songs and respective live videos over the upcoming weeks, the international symphonic metal frontrunners keep the excitement at the highest level, starting the video series with “To Those Who Choose To Fight” and “The Land Of The Free”. The live video captures the explosive energy of a Visions Of Atlantis live show and allows listeners to relive the matchless spirit of the past tour at home.
Contemporarily on all digital platforms, the live album will take shape in five parts, starting today with the first two tracks. Follow the band’s socials to discover the release dates of all five chapters of this adventure.
Armada Live Over Europe contains a live version of each song cut from the tour’s setlist, with recordings from various shows and venues. “To Those Who Choose To Fight” and “The Land Of The Free” set the stage for this adventurous ride and were the first tracks the band performed at La Rayonne in Lyon, France on October 9. It’s also the opening track from Visions Of Atlantis’ latest full-length album, Pirates II – Armada, which marks the band’s most successful record to date, entering international charts at top positions, such as #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, just to name a few.
Both live songs are now available on all streaming services worldwide and arrive alongside equally palpable live videos. Stay tuned, as there’s more to come already next week. Until then, enjoy the gripping live video below and make sure to get your tickets for the upcoming shows in Germany and the US.
Pirate Queen Clementine states: “This Armada tour has been the most exciting experience in Visions Of Atlantis’ history and we are delighted to keep it alive with this brand new live video series! Whether you’ve attended one of these shows or not, this will be a beautiful way to board the ship again and experience our Armada show from another perspective! Every video was recorded during the tour, in various cities, honoring our Sailors from all over Europe! Be a part of this digital adventure and mark the date down: every Tuesday, magic gates open and you can board our ship and gather with many other pirates! Together, we are the Armada!”
Armada Live Over Europe shows the gripping stage presence and artistic high-quality of Visions Of Atlantis. The pirate crew, fronted by vocalists Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli, have managed to create their very own inimitable universe with symphonic heaviness and stunning visuals, and encourages their listeners to join them into a world where spirits are free, hearts are true, and where light always rules over darkness, whatever the cost. Fans can expect a colorful range of songs, mostly taken from the band’s previous two records Pirates (2022) and Pirates II – Armada (2024).
