"Last year, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS set their sails for another adventurous journey with their eighth full-length album, Pirates - hitting the German album charts within the Top 20 for the first time! Free as the seven untamed seas, the symphonic metal outfit unleashed their rebellious side and delivered their most confident and honest record so far. During their voyage, they played a long-lasting tour in the US supporting Dragonforce and headlining in Europe selling out several venues, as well as multiple festival shows. Capturing the new era of VISIONS OF ATLANTIS as pirates for their fans, the band recorded their performance at the legendary Wacken Open Air in summer 2022 - now available as their third live release, Pirates Over Wacken, out on March 31, 2023 via Napalm Records.

Featuring songs from Pirates as well as fan favorites like “A Life Of Our Own”, “The Silent Mutiny” and “A Journey to Remember”, Wacken Open Air provided the perfect stage for this live release, as VISIONS OF ATLANTIS bewitched the enthusiastic audience with their new set of eleven tracks embracing freedom and self-confidence. The multinational band kicks the performance off with their majestic single from Pirates, “Master The Hurricane”. The rousing “Clocks” will make every symphonic metal enthusiast’s heart pound faster, fixing itself in the minds of the crowd forever. Through its perfectly balanced mixture of dramatic choirs, heavy orchestration and dedicated vocals, the multi-million streamed hit “Heroes Of The Dawn” and Pirates album opener “Pirates Will Return” provide sing-a-long opportunities for listeners to get lost in. Guiding fans through their powerful discography, the intriguing soundscapes and hauntingly beautiful melodies will take you back to an unforgettable day at Wacken Open Air. VISIONS OF ATLANTIS wrap up the feverishly hot concert with their last hit single, “Melancholy Angel”, and “Legion Of The Seas” - presenting their heaviest side without losing their inimitable feeling for creating dreamlike symphonic melodies. This emotive eleven track experience will have you tasting the heat and dust of the palpable Wacken festival air, and embracing the wilderness that only true Pirates know! Pirates Over Wacken is the perfect taste of what lies ahead for VISIONS OF ATLANTIS with long lasting tours through Europe and the US!
