STORM SEEKER haben das neue, “Set The Sails“ betitelte, Album bereits für den 14. März 2025 angekündigt und gleichzeitig ihren neuen Sänger Sean Graham vorgestellt. Heute erscheint mit `Gouverneur of the Coco Island’ die zweite Vorabauskopplung als überschaubar aufwendiger Clip im Handyformat.
Die Band erzählt über die Single, die auf einer wahren Geschichte basiert:
“`Gouverneur of the Coco Island’, tells the true story of one of the last treasure hunters of the 19th century. Infected by gold fever, August Gissler spent 17 years searching for the lost treasures of the pirate captains Thompson and Bonito on the Coco Islands – unsuccessful and penniless, he was finally forced to give up this adventure. His biography bears witness to a bygone world in which his name was supposed to stand alongside those of Charles Bellamy and Captain Kidd. ‘Gouverneur of the Coco Island’ is his story. About hopes, an iron will, a spirit of adventure and discovery. And about the cruel failure of a dream.“

Lyrics:
I am Gouverneur of the Coco-Island Seeking golden treasury
Plunderer of the fallen tyrants Bring all the treasure maps to me
Gouverneur of the Coco-Island Carve my name in stone
In following lust for fortune I have Found my very home
On the Coco-Island, where secrets will unfold,
The treasure hunter’s story, Bonito-kindred’s told
With an ancient maps an vellum, a gleaming in his eye,
Ol’ Gissler chased a legend ’neath the blue tropical sky.
The Maps were all identical, see, the gold ain’t far
The treasure hunt so frantical, we had almost starved
The years of endless digging my wife and crew insane
But 33 Dublones of Gold were all that I had gained.
I am Gouverneur of the Coco-Island Seeking golden treasury
Plunderer of fallen tyrants Bring all the treasure maps to me
Gouverneur of the Coco-Island Carve my name in stone
Following lust for fortune I have Found my very home
Now his heart yearned for the secrets yet untold,
In the caves and coves where treasures lay so cold.
I am Gouverneur of the Coco-Island Seeking golden treasury
Plunderer of the fallen tyrants Bring all the treasure maps to me
Gouverneur of the Coco-Island Carve my name in stone
Following lust for fortune I have Found my very home
