Following the release of 2024’s “Pirates II – Armada” and in anticipation of the physical release of the live album and web series “Armada Live over Europe” (July 4, 2025, Napalm Records; preorder here). international symphonic metal band Visions of Atlantis has shared the music video for “Hellfire.”
The track’s energy is brought to life with the video’s pyro lighting up pirate queen Clémentine Delauney and co-captain Michele Guaitoli as they trade lines of serenity and gruffness. An anthem of inspiration and hope, the band beckons listeners to not let their fire go out and to never stop dreaming of a more fulfilling world.
This new video arrives as the band gears up for a summer of live shows, including two special headline performances—its official release show on July 4 in Warsaw, Poland, and a German headline appearance on July 12 in Regensburg. Looking ahead, Visions of Atlantis’s voyage will continue in 2026 with the co-headline Pirates & Kings tour alongside labelmate Warkings.
Discussing “Hellfire,” Delauney said: “This one is for anyone waking up and finding their own strength and voice again. For anyone tired of listening to whispers that urge us to dim our light. ‘Hellfire’ represents strong minds, unafraid to carve their own paths and unconcerned with others’ opinions. It’s the chant of rebels fighting against those who abuse power to manipulate others. May we all reclaim power over our own lives.”
“Pirates II – Armada” hit number 5 on the German and Austrian Official Album Charts, number 4 on the U.K. Rock & Metal Charts and number 2 on the U.S. Hard Music Album Charts. “Armada Live over Europe” was recorded across several of performances throughout Europe.
“We’re delighted to keep the magic of our live shows alive with this long-awaited release!” Delauney said. “Now, everyone who has attended one or more shows on our 2024 ARMADA tour can relive the experience at home. We love how our songs from our latest albums are energized and empowered by the live conditions and how the crowd becomes a part of the show, singing and chanting with us all along. This was definitely a tour to remember for us, and we are very happy to have this record as a lifetime souvenir.”
