Bass player here is Chris David who has his own amazing band, WizDoom (check out The Way Of The Lost), and he's the touring bassist for Therion. Also blessed w a fantastic singing voice!
Majestica web page is a bit dated ad has very little info about the band, so I'll fill you in. This is the band Tommy started over 20 years ago ( he was 14) and they were called ReinXeed then. They have put out 6 albums as ReinXeed and there were a lot of band member changes through the years, but Alex and Chris were with Tommy since 2012. Alex sadly left the band in 2021 because of major burn injury to his hand. They changed their name to Majestica when they signed for Nuclear Blast Records because of legal issuess (copyright their old label still has for ReinXeed name and songs in certain areas) and also to mark a fresh start of sorts. So Majestica is definitely not a side project, it's his "baby", something he said he could never give up. Sabaton is his job, a job he loves, but still - it's something he needs to make a living, because Majestica is sadly not nearly popular enough to make a living for any of them. Fun fact #1: when this album was recorded they were without a drummer, so the drums on the album were played by an outside drummer- none other then Helloween's ex drummer Ulli Kusch (funny because this song is also a tribute to Helloween's Eagle Fly Free song). Fun fact #2: album cover for Above The Sky album was done by Sabaton's guitarist Chris Rörland (he is also a graphic designer)
I was familiar with ReinXeed, at least to the point I know that was the previous name of the group, but the rest of this information... 🪙 Thanks so much for all that knowledge and history.
This song is awesome and I love how all are allowed to shine. It is great at a concert (was into this summer in Boden) where you get everyone presented from the beginning. And what an intro. Great reaction. Fun fact: The runway is an old military base runway in Tommy’s home town Boden, northern Sweden. “Some of the Christmas stuff”. Just one of the best album out there. Make sure listening to the extended version and in right order. Now a days used mostly for driving training and some illegal street racing.
Chris Davidsson, the basist, also has his own band, Wizdoom which I recommend you to check out. A very different vibe, but very good. Doomed Fleet Way of the Lost
Hell yeah🤘 Chris is allso a great singer. Tommy and Chris does a epic duett covering Gary Mores Murder In The Skies. You should absolutely check that out if You enjoy this. 🤘
What an absolute banger. This band is brilliant and Tommy outstanding. Glad you finally got round to Majestica. Check out their Christmas Carol album. Great reaction Dane... 🤘🤘
Like @marinamucic908 said, Majestica was once called ReinXeed, so this band has been around for a bit longer than the name suggests. And as she said, they had to do the name change over copyright and other issues, much like how Rhasody had to change their name to Rhapsody of Fire about 15 years ago. But that aside, this song here in particular has in it just about everything that makes us Metalheads love Metal. At least those of us who love and/or tolerate Power Metal. It had crazy guitar solos, breakdowns, and even some orchestration parts, which appeal to my neo-classical metal fetish. You know that Heavy Metal in general is actually just Classical Music and The Blue mixed together played with electrified instruments (guitars & bass) rather than acoustics or brass and woodwimds.
The lyrics......Start with a D, then go to an F The C will lead to G three more times Then the verse is built before the chorus come This time the bridge is different from before Like something flying free Guitars playing fast and the bass as well With beats from the drum.... sweet tho ;o
This is my favorite of all Tommy's videos, and if I'm correct, I believe he composed it himself. I'd call it symphonic power metal, which is also my preferred genre of music. I am so longing to hear more like this from Majestica!!
It's time to rock! Another great reaction, Dane! I checked your playlist and I didn't see it, but if you haven't already, check out Freeze The Fall from Canada. They're 3 teens who are just wrapping up recording their first EP. They're really good.
Yo David. Thank You. I will absolutely get on Freeze the Fall. I actually helped fund their EP and We are in talks to do an interview. Can't wait to promote them!
Great reaction to one of my favourite bands!🤘 More Majestica, please!
Deal! More to come

Thank you!! The additional info is helpful. Learning the history is really helpful.
Chris joins Tommy on the Gary Moore cover of Murder in the sky. Super good.
OH AWESOME!! I'll check that out!
I concur

@DaneBramageROCKS tomorrow night (9th December) at 10pm CET, Tommy is doing a live stream of himself doing Christmas songs... 🤘🤘
@@stebow1977 I saw that. I'm gonna try to jump on and watch.
Their A Christmas Carrol will knock your socks off. 10 original songs telling the story of Scrooge.
Can't wait! 🤘🏻 🎄 🤘🏻
There’s soo much energy in this song and video!
It was awesome to watch! I loved it.

🇺🇦 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻💯👍
Four top models play the shit out of Metal music
Yeah they do! More to come
This song is an ode to the Helloween song, Eagle Fly Free, which Tommy smokes a cover of on his channel!!
Yeah and someone said their drummer was an Ex-Helloween drummer! AWESOME.
@DaneBramageROCKS Not exactly... the drummer playing on the cover of Eagle Fly Free by Tommy, is the former drummer from Helloween...
The lyrics......Start with a D, then go to an F
The C will lead to G three more times
Then the verse is built before the chorus come
This time the bridge is different from before
Like something flying free
Guitars playing fast and the bass as well
With beats from the drum....
sweet tho ;o
Whoa, I'm not musically knowledgeable to that level but I love seeing this information! Thanks so much for sharing!
I really like this. Chris is phnomna
Agreed!
Amazing good song and muicians
💯
Check out the whole Album. Its incredible😂
Twist my arm! LOL. I'm on it!
I believe this drummer is Uli Roth ex Helloween drummer.
That’s correct. Ant this song is a tribute to “Eagle fly free”.
No kidding, no wonder he is so good! Dude is a BEAST!
Still epic track🇸🇪
Truth! 🤘🏻

I was bummed he left Sabaton, but with that comes more Majestica so I am here for that!
@@DaneBramageROCKS I think even though he was an asset to Sabaton, his talents were not being fully utilized. Now he can shine without limitations.
@@MidnightCastleHelp Absolutely
It's time to rock! Another great reaction, Dane!
