Twisted Christmas

If you like your ambient sound for the holidays wild and 'twisted', you might want to get your hands on this Christmas album from the US heavy metal group Twisted Sister.

'A Twisted Christmas' was released on October 2006, and it features classic Christmas songs performed in heavy metal versions. Well what can you expect. Although arrangements for all of the songs are typically, well, heavy, listeners would not help but appreciate the faithfulness of the vocal approach and melody to the original versions. All this peppered with TS's no-nonsense approach to metal created a whole new way to enjoy your favorite Holiday tunes.

Tracks included are the following Yuletide classics:

1. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
2. Oh Come All Ye Faithful
3. White Christmas
4. I'll Be Home for Christmas
5. Silver Bells
6. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus
7. Let It Snow
8. Deck the Halls
9. The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
10. Heavy Metal Christmas (The Twelve Days of Christmas)
11. Bonus Track: We Wish You a Twisted Christmas (parody/remake of We Wish You a Merry Christmas)

Albeit all tracks are full of fun, I personally enjoyed the most tracks numbers 1, 2, 8, and 9 (actually my favorite Christmas song). This would be a great present for all your head-banging friends and loved ones out there.
