Dec2005
„Dear brothers and sisters,

What does Christmas really mean to you?”

1) A count-down calendar?
2) A time for flashbacks?
3) Crowded shops you have to go to anyway?
4) Hoping for a good new year?

In that case, QLR feels with you and can help!

1) A count-down calendar?

There is a METAL calendar at www.sounds2move.de (look for “Adventskalender”) which features an interview
with both Corwen and Ex-ortation on December 15.
Speaking of Ex-ortation: when “Jingle Bells” make you “SCREAM”, head over to www.Rockstation.ch
as you can download and watch the video to that song (no, not the bells one!) all week long, starting on Monday.

2) A time for flashbacks?

2005 is the year of HEAVY METAL NATION & HEAVY METAL NATION II:
nearly 40 Swiss bands on two compilations. You had better make sure you own this essential anthology for future reference!

3) Crowded shops you have to go to anyway?

If indeed you still are in need of fine presents for metal-loving friends, for yourself, or for your metal-hating best enemies,
drop by our Swiss Metal Mailorder (www.quamlibetrecords.ch/de/mailorder/index.asp ) and place your order before
Wednesday, 21.12.05 to stand a chance of getting your favourite CDs in time for a HEAVY CHRISTMAS!
No screaming kids, wet dogs or awfully kitschy Christmals songs you’ve hated since you were six!

4) Hoping for a good new year?

No worries here: Madame Quamlibeta, our in-house psychic, promises great and mystical new releases
already early next year, among them a split-CD by PAINWORK & PŸLON, as well as a majestic monument:
MAJESTY OF SILENCE release their third album worldwide – brought to you by QLR!

Best regards as always,
Jan
