European symphonic power metal band Visions of Atlantis took leave for the high seas on their last single release Legion of the Seas, off their upcoming album eight studio album Pirates. The plundering ways continue now with their second release Melancholy Angel.
Melancholy Angel fully embraces the inner Annette Olzen era Nightwish within Visions of Atlantis. Making a claim for the premier vocal duo in metal today, co-singers Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli once again put on a terrific display. The operatic flourish by Clémentine at the end of the chorus lines adds a sparkle to really give the track life.
The band commented on their upcoming album Pirates:
“Being a Pirate to us is being fully aware and having our lives in our own hands, living and thinking freely, embracing life as an adventure with all its light and darkness. With the new album we are opening a new era for Visions Of Atlantis, fully embracing the identity we have been flirting with for several years now – making the music that truly resonates with our souls. We continue our journey taking us through darker waters, heavier storms, where all serves as background for a metaphor about personal growth and spirituality. If Wanderers was more about the bright side of our path, Pirates definitely takes us deeply into shadow work, where we are facing other kinds of monsters along the way!”
