VARIOUS ARTISTS We Wish You A Metal XMas and a Headbanging New Year (Armoury)

Not quite sure about this one. Like, how do you do a metal version of Silent Night? How about speed metal style with growling, even? I mean, its got to be heard to be believed. Sure, we get some big names for the price of admission viz Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Dave Grohl, Tony Iommi but ultimately this CD is all about novelty value. It’s a good disc to put on at Christmas parties to amuse your guests but other than that…?

That said, I do like the kick ass Run Rudolph Run from Lemmy, Billy Gibbons and Dave Grohl, probably cos its rock ‘n’ roll and not remotely metal at all. Maybe we should do a S-ROCK Christmas album next year…

Caveat Emptor!
