Swedish Hard Rock Stars Join Forces On Special DVD To Benefit Tsunami Victims

About 150 of the biggest names in rock and hard rock from Sweden have recorded a song that will be released in a couple of weeks on a special DVD to raise money through the Red Cross for the victims of the horrible earthquake and flood disaster in Asia.

The song "Where Is The Fire" (written by Tommy Denander, Bjorne Lindbom and Bernt Ek) was originally recorded a few years ago for the victims of 9/11, but was eventually pulled from that project because it "was very poorly handled by the people in charge," according to a press release. The song has been kept in a vault with the intention of donating it if and when something horrible would happen again....well, it doesn't get much worse than this.

This special DVD will include a documentary of how the song was recorded, a music video of the song plus 10-15 never-before-shown or very rare videos with great bands like EUROPE, TALISMAN , LION'S SHARE, PAIN and lots of other great stuff.

The single will be sold for a special price of 100 SEK (11 Euro or 15 Dollars) and every cent of the profit will be given to the Red Cross.

It will be available through several mail order shops in Europe and hopefully in USA and Japan soon as well.

An article (in Swedish) on the project published in this past weekend's edition of the Aftonbladet newspaper, can be viewed at this location.
