Christmas is just around the corner and the Metal / Hard Rock artists & bands always has been keen to recreate seasonal classics, in a rocking way of course. Alongside ‘A Very Metal Christmas’ featured here at plotn08.org a few days ago, Deadline / Cleopatra Records are releasing a second volume; “A Very Metal Christmas
II“, a second dose of fire blazin’ metal Christmas anthems to warm the heart of the even the meanest holiday Grinch.
Features brand new recordings and newly updated / remixed recordings from Glenn Hughes, Great White’s Jack Russell, Vixen’s Janet Gardner, Angel’s Frank DiMino along with guitar gods George Lynch, Marty Friedman, Tracii Guns, and a really good version of ‘Winter Wonderland’ with Fast Eddie Clarke on guitar and FM’s Steve Overland on lead vocals!
Also included are holiday favorites Canadian metal stars Helix, glam metal icons Pretty Boy Floyd and Faster Pussycat, and more.
Metal Christmas compilations have proven to be enormously popular and have become as traditional as grandma’s fruitcake. “A Very Metal Christmas II” is a fun, entertaining album including well done recordings.
