Last year, Majestica released their new album “A Christmas Carol” as a wonderful Christmas gift for the whole metal scene. It’s pure symphonic power metal in the true Majestica spirit along with elements inspired by the likes of Twilight Force, Rhapsody Alan Silvestri, Danny Elfman and John Williams.
And this year, the band have again prepared a very special surprise for their fans: an extended version of the album, that will not only be available on vinyl, but that will finally complete the story surrounding the grumpy old Ebenezer Scrooge with two previously unreleased songs. “A Christmas Carol – Extended Version” will be out and getting you into the heavy Christmas spirit on November 12th, but the first new single, ‘Glory Of Christmas’ is already available today. It comes with a beautiful art video, drawn by vocalist Tommy Johansson.
Watch the clip for ‘Glory Of Christmas’ below.
The band comment: “When we released “A Christmas Carol” last year it was a dream come true to finally release a real Christmas album. But it was not available on vinyl, and we felt we had a bit more to give to complete the story. So now we have added two new songs to the story where we get to know more of Scrooge’s hate for Christmas and also how scared such a powerful man can get when believing his judgment day is dawning. With these two new songs we now have “A Christmas Carol – Extended Version”, which completes the story of Scrooge and his Christmas ghosts.
The first single “Glory of Christmas” is heavier than the previous songs, but the Christmas feeling hasn’t gone anywhere and it has one of the strongest choruses on the album.
During the upcoming tour in December people will hear the entire album from beginning till the end with the new songs!”

As previously reported, fans can look forward to a unique “Power Metal meets Musical” staging of “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens. Majestica will bring this exceptional soundtrack onto stages across Europe and accompany Ebenezer Scrooge on his journey with the Ghosts of Christmas.
”It’s with great pleasure we can announce that Majestica will finally hit the road on our first Headline tour through Europe. Last year we brought you the musical ”A Christmas Carol” on social media and youtube, this year we will bring ’The Christmas Carol’ on stage TO YOU! When you come to our shows during ”The Christmas Carol Tour” you will feel right away that the spirit of Christmas is in the venue. And of course, if you’re a fan of our previous album “Above The Sky” you will not be disapointed. We are very happy and excited about seeing you all on the road and can’t wait to bring ’A Christmas Carol’ to your town” – Tommy
