Majestica: Above the Sky

by Kevin Johnson Monday, June 10th, 2019

Sometimes YouTube’s auto-play function and suggested videos drive me insane, but today it was perfect.

This clip of Majestica’s music video for the song “Above the Sky” immediately caught my attention, and once you press play you’ll know why. Bassist Chris David kicks off the blazing power metal song with a blistering riff before twin guitars kick in. The intensity keeps up as the band rocks out on an airstrip.

David returns for a killer bass solo at the 3:35 mark before sending it off to drummer Alfred Fridhagen. Get ready to headbang!

In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
