* CallAndResponseSong: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_RKRbA9gRY "Ghost of Marley"]] is a duet that alternates lines by Scrooge (played by Tommy) and Jacob Marley (played by Chris). The chorus goes:
-->'''Marley:''' Tell me why you doubt your senses\\
'''Scrooge:''' None of this is real, it cannot 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\\
'''Everybody:''' Act of greed, can't you see? Yours will come\\

[[caption-width-right:350:left to right, Joel Kollberg, [[Music/{{Sabaton}} Tommy Johansson]], Petter Hjerpe, and Chris David]]
[[https://majesticametal.com/ Majestica]] is a {{Symphonic|Metal}} PowerMetal band based in Boden, UsefulNotes/{{Sweden}}, fronted by tenor vocalist and guitarist Tommy Johansson.
Originally known as [=ReinXeed=], the group began a solo project by Johansson that over subsequent albums expanded into a musical trio. They released six albums from 2008 to 2013 but remained relatively obscure.
In 2005, though, Johansson was playing the latest new releases disc from ''Sweden Rock Magazine'' and came across a song called "Primo Victoria" from another Swedish group, Music/{{Sabaton}}. He got to know the band members, and in 2012, following most of the musicians leaving the group, Tommy was asked to join the band as a guitarist. At the time, he declined because [=ReinXeed=] seemed to be taking off, but following a slow period after the release of ''A New World'' in 2013, Tommy did join them in 2017, replacing Thobbe Englund.
In 2019, the band, now reduced in scope to a side project due to Johansson's full-time commitment to Sabaton, was renamed Majestica and signed to Nuclear Blast Records. They have released two albums to date.
