A new collaboration is setting the stage for one of 2026’s most anticipated metal tours. Visions Of Atlantis and Warkings have joined forces for a shared single titled “Pirates & Kings”, released ahead of their co-headline run of the same name. The track blends the strengths of both groups, combining dual vocals with soaring, triumphant lyrics. It launches directly into a driving hook as the two bands craft what feels like a modern battle anthem. “Pirates & Kings” heats up the fight – be brave or be gone.”
The partnership arrives just in time for their upcoming “Pirates & Kings Over Europe” Tour, which begins February 5, 2026. The journey kicks off in Pratteln, Switzerland, and brings the two acts to 21 cities throughout Europe as they continue building their shared musical identity.
Clémentine Delauney of Visions Of Atlantis offered insight into the themes fueling the new track. She explained: “This is no longer a time for division or competition. When threats and tensions rise, the answer is to unite and become allies.”
She continued by addressing the broader mood as the year closes: “This year ends with fear and dark projections; next year is about showing the right response. Tyrants will not prevail, manipulation will not work. We will see through the smoke screen and claim our own truth.”
Elaborating further on the idea of solidarity, she added: “We believe that unity is strength. This is a time for collaboration, for opening ourselves to others, and for gathering like-minded souls. We can face anything when we stand with our tribe and our tribe is growing. We’re welcoming new warriors and shield-maidens aboard. “Pirates and Kings” are launching the movement, leading the charge. Now it’s your turn to join the call. Brave your fear, bring a friend, and reserve your seat for the most epic adventure, a place where a new world is forged, where courage is honored, where emotions run deep, and where your power is real.”
Warkings echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the need for unity across kingdoms and seas. They stated: “When the tides of chaos swell and the winds whisper of war, the kings must look beyond their own thrones. So we joined forces with Visions Of Atlantis — warriors of the endless sea — to remind the world that unity is the strongest weapon. “Pirates & Kings” is the pact we seal in fire and storm.”
The joint single and tour mark a bold step for both bands as they rally fans behind a message of strength, connection, and resilience.
