Here's a little update from Fairyland. Phillippe "Phil" Giordana has been working on new songs for the band's follow up to Score To A New Beginning (2009) and they are also looking for a new label as the new record will not be released via Napalm Records, as previously planned.

Keyboardist Phillippe "Phil" Giordana of French Symphonic Power Metal band Fairyland has issued the following update:

"I just dived into the song writing phase for the next album, with already 1 song finished 100% and 4 more that are at an advanced stage.

Fairyland will now present itself as a solo project, without any permanent line-up. Some posts, such as drums and rhythmic guitars, will probably be held throughout the album by the same guests in order to keep a main guideline. For the rest, many guests will bring their personal participation, giving a "metal-opera" touch to the different songs. The guests list is getting longer day after day, with already a few names that will be quite familiar to metal fans.

More news coming soon..."

The following message was posted by Philippe Giordana (keyboards) from French Symphonic Power Metal band Fairyland on the band's official website:

"Anthony, Vincent, Tom and Max have decided to leave Fairyland and go on with their own project. The reasons for their departure have not been clearly expressed, and the way they handled the whole business, with direct annoucement on Fairyland's forum prior to any kind of discussion with Intromental Management, Napalm Records, Marquee Avalon, Burrn! Corporation or even me, was not very professional. However, it is their decision and I wish them all the luck they will need to make their new project break through.

Regarding Fairyland, I am and have always been the song writer, also taking care of the lyrics and vocal lines, plus the concept behind my music. So there is no reason why I should stop doing so. The only point I need to think about is whether I will try and build a new line-up, or just stay by myself and use guest musicians from different horizons. that last solution is quite appealing, since it can bring a lot of diversity to Fairyland, plus it will mean I don't have to handle a line-up's personnal issues, which is really time consuming. I'll then be able to concentrate on the music only, and all will be best.

Meanwhile, stay tuned to get a whole bunch of informations about Fairyland's next releases.

Special thanks go to Intromental Management and Napalm Records, who have decided to keep their thrust in the project. Thanks to all those who brought me support these last 2 weeks, and thanks to all the fans everywhere. We will meet again..."
