Rockshots Records announce their signing of symphonic pirate metal act CRUSADE of BARDS for their sophomore album "Tales of The Seven Seas" due out February 18, 2022. The album follows their 2019 debut record "Tales of Bards & Beasts" that was released via Pride & Joy Records. With an emotional and energetic live-action production for all kinds of audiences from power to folk, from gothic to pagan, the band has been making a name for themselves with touring and festival performances in Germany, Switzerland, France, and their home country of Spain. Today, in preview to the album's release, Crusade of Bards is sharing their first single "The Red Charade", an allegoric critique of the imperialism and colonialism that began in the XVII century and slowly evolved in the superiority complex of the Western world towards all other people. The lyrics draw clear parallelism between the modern capitalist corruption and the old aristocratic addiction to privilege at all costs. The band adds: “This song was one of the last ones to come up in the pre-production of the album but immediately stuck in our heads and we knew it would become a single. Its baroque-like riff, upbeat tempo, and the pauses almost gave the song a heartbeat of its own. Keyboardist Paolo Andreotti states: “The lyrics were also the more genuine to come up, without much preparation, without the historical research of the others. It felt almost like they were already buried in the song and I was just digging them up”. We all love different cultures and folklore and we think that the globalization that started with colonialism and imperialism has made it harder to appreciate all the different aspects of them. The Red Charade is this travesty that oligarchs disguise as a victory while their hands are full of the blood of innocent people.” Listen to "The Red Charade" at the following links: Spotify - https://spoti.fi/3rssXsM Digital streaming platforms - https://bfan.link/the-red-charade Album pre-order - https://bit.ly/tales7seasCD On this second album, Crusade of Bards has a mix of history-inspired songs and social themes. Paolo Andreotti (keyboards & vocals) is the lyricist and he loves history and geography so the whole concept of the record revolves around the 7 seas, 2 songs for every sea, and each of them about stories that took place or refer to the area washed by them. As you dig deeper into the lyrics, the structure chosen tends to use the same rhetorical figures of romanticism and neo-realism with a strong connection between the sound of a certain word and its meaning. This leads to inner references that may be appreciated by just reading the lyrics, even without the music. "Tales of the Seven Seas" is the band's second album inside the “Tales” saga, a broader concept that started with their first album "Tales of Bards & Beasts". It revolves around the figure of the “Bard” and the different tales, songs, and myths that the storyteller would present to the public of the different towns and villages visited. While the first album "Tales of Bards & Beasts" was more about myths and legends, "Tales of the Seven Seas" is mainly based on true historical events that have happened in each of them. The concept can be also found in the musical aspects where traditional instruments, scales, or sounds coming from the cultures that live or lived on the shores of the seven mentioned seas are blended into the songs to create the perfect environment for the listener. The band explains further: “With this album, we want to make a statement, we want the fans to really understand who Crusade of Bards is both musically and visually. We want them to open their minds, join us on our journeys through space and time, discover new stories and understand that we, as human beings, have changed very little. Our sins, our mistakes, our victories, and our feelings are not new or undiscovered. They are just there, floating on the ocean, waiting for us to collect them”. Crusade of Bards "Tales of The Seven Seas" is due out on February 18, 2022 and is recommended for fans of Epica, Eluveitie, Alestorm. #crusadeofbards #piratemetal FOLLOW ROCKSHOTS RECORDS: http://www.rockshots.eu   / rockshotsrecords     / rockshotsrecords     / rockshotsrec   https://shop.rockshots.eu/ ~-~~-~~~-~~-~ Please watch: "CRUSADE OF BARDS - Vento Aureo (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) "    • CRUSADE OF BARDS - Vento Aureo (OFFIC...   ~-~~-~~~-~~-~
