In 2019, the Swedish power metal heroes, Majestica, released their debut album Above The Sky and quickly followed it up with their Christmas musical album, A Christmas Carol, in late 2020. Both albums were a huge success in the metal community, but when the time finally came to present their music to live audiences, the COVID-19 pandemic hit and made all touring impossible. But not only the tours were canceled. Two years in a row now, metal fans all over the world had to go without the summer festivals, that are like the beating hearts of metal itself, not to mention the main source of income for all the amazing people, who help to make the events possible in the first place.
In these times more than ever the metal community must stand together and now, Majestica releases a music video for their new single ‘Metal United’ – a true metal hymn and a statement of solidarity for fans and crew members alike.
Get it here, and watch a music video for the song below.
The band comment: “All the people that work at the festivals and with touring bands have had a rough year, just like all of us. But a lot of these people that work so hard to make it possible for us musicians to perform on stage have had problems finding new jobs, and without these hard-working people, we can’t make our dreams come true. And since we love to play at festivals and to go to festivals, we have been missing out on one important thing that means so much to us. So the least we can do to honor these fine working people is to write a song as a tribute to them. A cheerful, uplifting song with Irish influences about the hope that everything will be back to normal, and a melodic, uptempo heavy metal song with an important message.”
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
