Viking Queen gives back with We Are United”
Viking Queen’s founder and band manager, Geir Miranda, took the initiative to write the lyrics/song for ‘We Are United.’ Together with Tim Steinruck from The Mighty One who also help compose the song and Jørg Klein, they formed the project group Global Metalists United. Through this project, Miranda gathered several artists to contribute to fundraising for Ukraine.
A total of 30 artists are involved in the project, including eight guitarists who play on the song. The interest in participating was overwhelming, and no one declined the invitation. In fact, many who wanted to contribute had to be turned away due to the high demand. The project has also received support from the likes of Dave Evans, former member of AC/DC, and Jon Norum from Europe.
To ensure that the proceeds from the song go to a good cause, the project group made an agreement with the Red Cross in Geneva, which will manage the funds. All profits from the song will be earmarked to help those affected by the war in Ukraine, as a contribution from the group to the Ukrainian people
