Metallica, Iron Maiden, Kreator, Subway To Sally, Sepultura, Amorphis und noch viele mehr nehmen Abschied von 2011 und wünschen ihren Fans eine gute Reise in ein tolles Metal-Jahr 2012. Und zwar so – in ihren eigenen Worten:

We’ll wish you Happy New Year now, cos you’d better not be on Facebook at midnight!
Blind Guardian
A gift from Santa Guardian: The Bard’s Song 2011 Orchestral Version
‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the Twilight Hall Santa Guardian and his band of dark elves put the finishing touches on a gift for all the bad boys and girls in Blind Guardian land. Santa Guardian thought it was unfair that “The Bard’s Song – The Hobbit” was re-recorded for Memories of a Time to Come but “The Bard’s Song – In the Forest” didn’t get any special treatment.
Using his own special brand of persuasion, Santa Guardian “ convinced” the band to make an orchestral version of “The Bard’s Song – In the Forest” for inclusion on Memories of a Time to Come. Santa’s gift to every Blind Guardian fan is a 95 second preview of this song.
The whole Blind Guardian family wishes you and yours a very happy holiday season. See you in 2012!

Solstafir
Brothers and sisters! The last 5 years or so I’ve always had this song on repeat on new years eve. Many of you don’t like it, some of you even hate it, I don’t give a shit. For me it serves as a reminder to leave my regrets and wrong doings (my own as well as other people’s) in the passing year. 2011 has been a great year for Sólstafir, but also a hard one. We managed to write, record and release not just a new album, but a double one to boost! We got a song in the Icelandic and Finish charts, something that totally took us by surprise, and Svartir Sandar ia already showing up on many best of year lists, both here in Iceland and abroad. 2012 is already looking very promising, and will be the busiest year in our 17 year long career. We’ve gotten to where we are today by working hard non stop, and we will continue to do so, because our ambition is aimed at the sky. We can’t wait to get back on the road, and more importantly, on the stage, and to see all your faces, friends new and old! On behalf of Sólstafir, fökk it all and fökking no regrets! Guðmundur Óli.
