We Wish you a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging new year

Pretty funny, but worth a listen i guess.
Heaviest x'mas album?? Well.. i don't think anything will ever be as good as spinal tap's "christmas with the devil" but it's allright.
It's got the "top" metal artists and has them collaborating on you're average xmas hits. But something just doesn't sell it for me.
The vocal performances are kinda weak EXCEPT for Ripper owens on "santa claus is back in town" and "silent night" thrash metal with brutal growls from Chuck Billy. They really nailed that shit. and the guitar solos are super rad on "Silent Night" too!

Peace yo!

Great album. Much better compared to the music in the local shops and supermarkets!
