Blind Guardian release new music video for ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’

BLIND GUARDIAN have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Merry Xmas Everybody, is a festive cover of the SLADE Christmas classic and comes after the German power metal legends re-released Imaginations From The Other Side for its 25th anniversary.

Speaking about the festive cover, vocalist Hansi Kuersch explains, “in my opinion, SLADE created the ultimate Christmas song with Merry Xmas Everybody, a timeless, jolly tune with the perfect dose of cheesiness and almost untouchable in its greatness. Usually, it is prohibited in the Kuersch household to play Christmas songs prior to the Advent season, but as it’s mid-November now, and I am just out of the studio doing this cover, I guess I’m breaking a tradition. What you are about to hear now, is our attempt at paying tribute to the glam rock Santa Clauses SLADE and while the original version is just perfect, its chorus was tailor-made for BLIND GUARDIAN as we do understand quite well how to go big. So, why have sausages with potato salad when you can have the Xmas goose? Well, check it out yourselves and Merry Xmas Everybody!”

Imaginations From The Other Side (25th Anniversary Edition) is out now via Nuclear Blast Records.
