Visions of Atlantis will release a new studio album, “Pirates,” on May 13, 2022, via Napalm Records. The band also has shared the record’s first single, “Legion of the Seas,” the music video for which is available below.
“‘Legion of the Seas’ is a statement song that embodies the mindset we carry throughout the entire record,” the band said. “No matter what we are facing, we remain the masters of ourselves and our lives. We are delighted to welcome the listeners on board of this new age of Visions of Atlantis with this powerful video, for one of the heaviest songs of the record. Acting scenes meet a fiery band performance, all in a very cinematic way, conveying our universe the best way.”
“Pirates” is Visions of Atlantis’s eighth studio album.
“Being a pirate to us is being fully aware and having our lives in our own hands, living and thinking freely, embracing life as an adventure with all its light and darkness,” the band said. “With the new album we are opening a new era for Visions of Atlantis, fully embracing the identity we have been flirting with for several years now–making the music that truly resonates with our souls. We continue our journey taking us through darker waters, heavier storms, where all serves as background for a metaphor about personal growth and spirituality. If ‘Wanderers’ was more about the bright side of our path, ‘Pirates’ definitely takes us deeply into shadow work, where we are facing other kinds of monsters along the way!”
