When you think of Christmas music, heavy metal
probably isn't the first genre that comes to mind. However, several metal bands
have taken the holiday season by storm with their unique and energetic takes on
traditional Christmas songs. Here are two metal songs that have stolen the
Christmas spirit:
1. Spinal Tap - "Christmas with the Devil"
This song is a parody of traditional Christmas songs,
turning the festive season into a dark, satirical affair. The lyrics describe a
twisted Christmas where "elves are dressed in leather" and
"angels are in chains," with "Satan" himself coming down
the chimney. It's a humorous take on the holiday spirit, fitting perfectly with
Spinal Tap's mockumentary style from the album "This Is Spinal Tap".
2. King Diamond - "No Presents for
Christmas"
This song tells a story of a chaotic Christmas where
Santa Claus is unable to find any reindeer to pull his sleigh. The lyrics
humorously mention characters like Tom and Jerry drinking sherry and Donald
Duck still being in bed. It's a metal Christmas classic from the album "A
Dangerous Meeting".
These songs prove that heavy metal can indeed steal
the Christmas spotlight, offering a fresh and exciting take on holiday music.
Whether you're a metalhead or just looking for something different to play
during the holidays, these tracks are sure to bring some festive cheer with a
heavy twist.
