Majestica - "Ghost Of Marley" (video)
Don't ask me who I am but who I was
I'm not the man I used to be
In life I was your partner by your side
The greed we share has brought me here
Scrooge:
Spirit please, leave me be
I don't know you can be
Tell me more, say your name.
Is it...?
Jacob Marley
No!
I know you have been dead for seven years
Marley:
Tell me why you doubt your senses
Scrooge:
None of this is real, it can not be
Marley:
Now you're running out of chances
Scrooge:
Spirit tell me more, or leave me be
Marley:
These chains were forged in life by our
Act of greed, can't you see, yours will come
Now's your last chance for redemption
Scrooge:
Marley, my dear friend let me go in peace
Scrooge:
I have been your friend for all your time
I beg of you, speak comfort to me
I see your chain and realized that I
May not await a kinder fate
Marley:
Your future's a horror story written by your crime
That you will have to pay for the rest of your time
Scrooge:
Leave me alone, this can not happen now
Marley:
Tell me why you doubt your senses
Scrooge:
None of this is real, it can not be
Marley:
Now you're running out of chances
Scrooge:
Spirit tell me more, or leave me be
Marley:
These chains were forged in life by our
Act of greed, can't you see, yours will come
Now's your last chance for redemption
Scrooge:
Marley, my dear friend let me go in peace
Marley:
You will be haunted by 3 spirits
Expect the 1st to arrive at Midnight
The 2nd on the night after that
And the last spirit will arrive
On the 3rd night
Marley:
Tell me why you doubt your senses
Scrooge:
My mind can play me tricks, so could anyones
Marley:
Now tonight you have 3 chances
Scrooge:
Why can't all the spirits come at once?
Marley:
Your chain is forged in life by your
Act of greed, can't you see, yours will come
Now's your last chance for redemption
Scrooge:
I have heared your warning, no go in peace!
Το 2000 ο (νυν κιθαρίστας των Sabaton) Tommy Johansson δημιούργησε τους ReinXeed. Περισσότερο προσωπικό project (στο ντεμπούτο έπαιζε όλα τα όργανα μόνος του) στην αρχή, αλλά στην πορεία εξελίχθηκε σε "κανονικό" συγκρότημα.
Η μπάντα παρέμεινε ανενεργή δισκογραφικά την τελευταία εξαετία έχοντας κυκλοφορήσει (μέχρι και το 2013) έξι full length albums, δύο συλλογές, ένα ep κι ένα demo.
Πέρυσι τα τρία εναπομείναντα μέλη του συγκροτήματος αποφάσισαν να αλλάξουν όνομα κι οι Majestica ήλθαν στο προσκήνιο. Το ντεμπούτο τους έφερε τον τίτλο "Above the sky". Ο διάδοχός του είναι προ των πυλών. Τιτλοφορείται "A Christmas Carol" κι αναμένεται στις αρχές του επόμενου μήνα.
Δελτίο τύπου: «In 2019 the new-coming Swedish Power Metal heroes MAJESTICA released their debut album "Above The Sky" and it became a huge success within the Metal community. Now in 2020 they are back with not only a new album, but a special treat for their fans: A Christmas Musical Power Metal album entitled "A Christmas Carol".
It's pure Symphonic Power Metal in the true MAJESTICA spirit along with elements from TWILIGHT FORCE, RHAPSODY, ALAN SILVESTRI, DANNY ELFMAN and JOHN WILLIAMS. What makes this a Christmas album is not only because during the entire album there's plenty of well-known Christmas songs inside the 9 tracks of Epic and Symphonic Power Metal, but also because the theme is the well-known story of Ebenezer Scrooge from the Charles Dickens Christmas novel "A Christmas Carol".
With many different voices for the many characters in the story and music that fits the story perfect people will not only hear a newly well-written Power Metal album, but also a Power Metal Musical that gives you the right Christmas feeling that you've never heard before in a Power Metal album.»
Tommy "ReinXeed" Johansson (Vocals, Guitar): «A silly dream of mine has finally come true. For many years I've wanted to release a Christmas album, because the atmosphere around Christmas is always so peaceful and music with a clear Christmas theme is always beautiful and very well‐written.
The reason why we chose to make a musical album with the story of Ebenezer Scrooge is very simple - it's a great story to tell around Christmas and it works so well as a musical. And with the help of different voice actors and singers we made it possible for this to happen - we’re very happy with the result.
Once again people can expect real power metal, but this time its a bit more symphonic and epic compared to our previous album ‘Above The Sky’. When it comes to the symphonic parts we’ve taken it a bit further and included a lot more orchestral instruments, including tubular bells, glockenspiel and sleigh bells to really get that Christmas sound to it.»
