MARILLION have released a Christmas single.

Their version of Carol Of The Bells is on sale now - the video is available to view below.

The band weren’t originally planning to put the track on general release.

They explained: “Every Christmas we give our fan club members a free DVD or CD. This year’s offering included Carol Of The Bells – with a very amusing video to accompany it.

“The fans demanded an MP3 download so we decided to release it as a single.
 
All the profits from the single will go to charity. We just thought it would be a bit of fun.”
