Unholy Night: A Severely Metal Christmas Mixtape
By Johnny Firecloud
Sunday, December 14, 2008
After spending an embarrassing amount of time downloading and sifting through double-digit gigs of Christmas songs, it’s a yuletide miracle that I’m not sniping mall Santas for sport by now.
That being said, welcome to the first installment of our Christmas Songs Mixtape series. We’ll be posting a new batch of songs every few days until the big X, each mix pulling from a different genre or style for your aural delight.
This collection is, quite obviously, a heavy metal Christmas mixtape, focusing on a batch of tracks that are either altogether on the side of laughably stupid shredding (Spinal Tap) or face-meltingly metal (King Diamond). Whatever the case, these are some of the best and brightest metal renditions of Christmas favorites you’ll find.
Genius!
[...] like the mix has sub-planted caroling as the horrible holiday musical tradition. I can do without a HEAVY METAL CHRISTMAS. Skid Row doing Silent Night speaks for [...]

Mucho Gracias Johnny, but I hope you don’t ‘re-gift’ any other presents from 2008 to friends or family.
Shhh… you’ll ruin the surprise!
Come on man! A fresh one, please!? I’m a stoner and all, but I remember things. By the way, I just realized the bottom wallpaper with the christmas messages, and it hurts my feelings (sniff, sniff) that I’m not there…
You got ten metal Christmas songs better than this set? No, you don’t. End scene. Also – only contributors write Christmas graffiti on our walls.
Ouch, dude! Merry Christmas ;)
Great list but I would suggest you check out a band called Theocracy. Christian metal band with a number of AWESOME Christmas songs including one called Rudolph Vs Frosty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au2UvtYyrSI
