NEWS: Visions Of Atlantis announce “Armada – An Orchestral Voyage”!

Just in time for their upcoming European co-headline tour with labelmates Warkings, Symphonic Metal pirates Visions Of Atlantis have  announced a new album. Titled “Armada – An Orchestral Voyage” is a masterful interpretation of their successful most recent album “Pirates II – Armada” in instrumental form. The band made the decision to take the vocal melodies of the original record and recreate them innovatively with a vast variety of orchestral instruments, including atmospheric flutes by Sandro Friedrich, dramatic violin by Fabio Polo from Elvenking and even ancient instruments like the Duduk, allowing the listener to immerse themselves in a beautiful sea of sounds. The first single from that is “Ashes to the Sea” with a 6th February release date set by Napalm Records.

Vocalist Clémentine Delauney comments on the album: “With this new instrumental record, we truly wanted to enhance the core of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS’s sound: symphonic music. When we released A Pirate Symphony, the feedback from our fans was enthusiastic. With An Orchestral Voyage, we didn’t limit ourselves to repeating a winning formula—we aimed to go even further and offer the epitome of a symphonic piece. Still rooted in an orchestral instrumental approach, all the lead melodies have been passionately and skillfully performed by real instruments such as violins, flutes, and even a duduk! This album turns our latest studio release Armada into the most epic journey—the ultimate symphonic soundtrack to any adventure. To be enjoyed on its own, or alongside your favorite book, outdoor hikes, or game nights!”

and on single “Ashes To The Sea”: “We are delighted to present another immersive work with Armada – An Orchestral Voyage. This very first track, ‘Ashes to the Sea,’ is very dear to me because of the original message it carries. In this version, the words fall silent, leaving space for emotions and vibrations to envelop the listener, who is then free to imagine and feel along with the strings and the beautiful orchestral arrangements.”
