Pirates over Wacken | Visions of Atlantis | 'Melancholy Angel'

I'm waiting for life full of torment within
An evil intention lies under my skin
And leads me astray

In empty romance I am losing myself
Delusional chance, I'm embracing silence
And all shades of grey

Hopeless, I'm drowning
Helpless, I'm trying
Desperate to find the reason I can believe

There you are, my melancholy angel
Taking me from grace to sorrows
Lust has gone and future is a stranger
Buried are all doves and swallows
I can see through the shadows of your mind
Poisoned tongue, magnetic monster
I will kill my melancholy angel
Waking from my darkest nights

I see in the mirror the void I've become
The joys and the horrors keep turning me numb
A taste of despair

The more that I grieve and the less that I care
The less that I give and the more that I bear
The price that I pay

Hopeless, I'm drowning
Helpless, I'm trying
Desperate to find the reason I can believe

There you are, my melancholy angel
Taking me from grace to sorrows
Lust has gone and future is a stranger
Buried are all doves and swallows
I can see through the shadows of your mind
Poisoned tongue, magnetic monster
I will kill my melancholy angel
Waking from my darkest nights

Hopeless, I'm drowning
Helpless, I'm trying
Desperate to find the reason I can believe

There you are, my melancholy angel
Taking me from grace to sorrows
Lust has gone and future is a stranger
Buried are all doves and swallows
I can see through the shadows of your mind
Poisoned tongue, magnetic monster
I will kill my melancholy angel
Waking from my darkest nights

Ζωντανά ηχογραφημένος δίσκος είναι η μουσική πρόταση των Visions of Atlantis για το 2023. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Pirates over Wacken" (οπότε είναι εμφανέστατο το που ηχογραφήθηκε) και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών.

Οι Visions of Atlantis μας έρχονται από την Αυστρία, δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 28 έτη (τα πέντε πρώτα με άλλο όνομα), μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

We have the power in our hands to go on our own adventures, to face the perils and defeat. We have the confidence to take risks, to trust the universe, to demand and to let go. We don’t remain in our comfort zone.

Each challenge makes us stronger, each mistake helps us learn. We always move forward, we go harder, stronger, we do better. Every time. The power is ours, to rule our lives and fate, to choose the best for ourselves.

...και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει οκτώ "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (με πλέον πρόσφατο το περσινό album "Pirates"), δύο EPs, τρία live albums, τρία singles και ένα demo...

Visions of Atlantis: «There is something purely magical about Wacken. Maybe it is the collective belief that this is the Holy Ground of Heavy Metal. Maybe it simply is, the Holy Ground of Heavy Metal.

Maybe this casts a specific energy around the stages and the fields of this special German town. We didn’t miss to feel this magic, while shouting the name “Wacken" out loud on stage or while looking around and seeing thousands of people, at peace, loving being there and sharing this together.

It was very special to us again, as if it wasn’t our first time playing Wacken. We got overcome with emotion several times during the show. There was so much we wanted to say. We felt empowered as a artists and human beings. Wacken is ones of these grounds where you feel you can change the world.

Watching this crowd and talking to them on that very day felt like never before and we will remember it forever. Nothing lasts forever but memories do. Thank you Wacken for having made us a part of your legend.»
