Pirate Queen Shares New Single "Santa Lucia"

Pirate Queen is an all-female Pirate Metal band from Bermuda Triangle and their debut album Ghosts will be released on May 3, 2024 via Despotz records. Their third single "Santa Lucia" is out today and can be heard below.

Discovering Pirate Queen is like finding Eldorado. The album "Ghosts" has such addictive melodies, and it is so catchy that after a few listenings, it might transform you into a pirate. The songs are done with the mastery of mixing precious power metal with pirate, fantasy, symphonic, and fantasy elements. The beautiful guitar melodies and enchanting vocals of Her Majesty Maria Aurea offer explosions of notes and harmonies with a massive production that make this album a pirate metal masterpiece.

Captain Destiny Grieflord states: "This must be one of my favourite songs on the album. A symphonic, melodic, epic, adventurous, pirate power metal. The blessing of the ship is an old pirate tradition that is still being practiced on Lyxion island. The Queen’s blessing ensures a safe journey and abundant bounty. Santa Lucia is our main ship on which we sailed to many adventures. It is our home and represents discovery, loyalty and fate. We are on a never-ending spiritual journey, sailing with and against the current. The ship carries us through different phases of life." More...

Speaking on the track, frontman and lyricist Ben Ward says: "It’s basically saying that life can be pretty simple and straightforward if you just stop wasting your time and make each day count. Be prepared to work hard, don’t expect any hand outs and basically enjoy yourself along the way. When Chris came up with the music he said it needed something that could be delivered in a Bon Scott / Lemmy style and I think it came out really well." More...
