High drama, hard-hitting heaviness, and gentle, spinetingling beauty. Visions of Atlantis have proven that ‘pirate metal’ is much more than a silly gimmick.” – Metal Hammer, 2024

Visions of Atlantis deliver tales of high-seas adventure through cinematic symphonic metal anthems, swiftly rising as high as a Jolly Rancher flag since the band’s humble beginnings in August 2000. Formed in idyllic Bruck an der Mur, Austria, the band boasts a French frontwoman (currently residing in Italy) and embodies an international appeal as vast as the oceans traversed by the pirates of old.

Since the band’s inception, Visions Of Atlantis has boasted dual vocal power from a male and female vocalist, co-captained today with Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli at the helm. Both possess captivating range, seamlessly switching from intimate melody to soaring operatic thunder.

Christian Douscha’s guitar work helps forge a brilliant future for the symphonic metal genre. Nintendo-obsessed Herbert Glos punctuates the proceedings with bass lines as rhythmic as the sea. Steady band cofounder and drummer Thomas Caser anchors the sound with powerful percussion.

Songs like “Melancholy Angel,” “Clocks,” “Legions of the Seas,” and “Master of the Hurricane” helped establish the band as symphonic metal royalty. Through their pair of critically acclaimed masterworks, Pirates (2022) and Pirates II—Armada (2024), the band took listeners on immersive adventures. Each swashbuckling track serves as a metaphor for perseverance, passion, and emotion.

The Pirates era is majestically celebrated across the multipart Armada LIVE Over Europe (2025). Culled from professional recordings captured at multiple tour stops, the collection showcases Visions Of Atlantis’ visceral prowess, power, and dynamic connection to its loyal audience.
