Unholy Night Redux: A Severely Metal Christmas Mixtape

By Johnny Firecloud, December 18th, 2009
 

Who couldn’t use a little metal in their stockings this year? Because we love you (and because search traffic is already hitting a fever pitch for it), we decided to resurrect our Severely Metal Christmas Mixtape to help kick the seasonal spirit into fifth gear.

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

First published as an installment of our Christmas Songs Mixtape series in 2008, this mix focuses 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.

Rawkit. And have a very metal Christmas while you’re at it.

    you should have included some Twisted Sister as well. They put out a Christmas Album that has a GREAT version of 12 days of christmas (Metal Style of course)

    Damn right. Besides, it doesn’t seem right to put Twisted Sister in league with all these guys.
