VISIONS OF ATLANTIS Announces Instrumental Orchestral Album, Armada – An Orchestral Voyage, for February 6, 2026 via Napalm Records

Just in time for their upcoming European co-headline tour with labelmates Warkings, symphonic metal pirates VISIONS OF ATLANTIS announce their new album. Armada – An Orchestral Voyage is a masterful interpretation of their successful most recent album, Pirates II – Armada, which gained them top 5 charting positions in Germany and Austria upon its release in 2024. Sailing on through and showing the depth of the music in a whole new way, the album is now reimagined with a completely new instrumental mix on Armada – An Orchestral Voyage! With it, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS compose themselves to accompany your very own adventures, be that reading or gaming (for which they offer exclusive bundles – see below!). With the album announcement also comes the first single: The hauntingly beautiful new rendition of “Ashes To The Sea” follows the gentle notes of the original ballad, sending shivers down your spine.

Clémentine Delauney about Armada – An Orchestral Voyage:

“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!”
