Listmania: Metal Noise Top #5 Metal Christmas Songs!

After some tunes to help you breathe more easily while you make a coffee and escape the family for a few precious moments? Here are five classic Christmas Metal cuts that you can annoy the family with on the Bluetooth speaker when you return to the present unwrapping madness!

Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you have it away. This year, to save me from tears, I’ll give it to someone special. Christmas 2021 have us a cover of “Stay Another Day” by East 17 from ThisCityIsOurs and the cut from the Arising Empire upstarts is just as good this year as it was last.

Going back another year, 2020 saw those well know worshippers of all things Christmas August Burns Red take “All I Want For Christmas” by Mariah Carey and turn it into a Metalcore classic. Frontman Jake Luhrs has never looked as daring as he does in the cover art.

Back in 2016 Italians Lacuna Coil released “Naughty Christmas“, and rather than the sultry little number the title may suggest it is in fact at tale of the beast that is Krampus, coming to take away naughty children, a fairy tale classic for a cold winter’s night.

Arguably one of the finest moments Wednesday 13 has conjured in his witches couldron is letter to the beared legend himself. Coffins, Fried Chicken and guitars, it’s all here just waiting for your blood. They don’t make ’em like this anymore.

Last but by no means least, a Thrash classic in  “Krampusnacht” by Kansas City, Missouri natives Hellevate. They tell the German tale of a Pied Piper style scenario with classic story telling and a killer solo. It’s Christmas in a less cheesy form.
