CHRISTMAS METAL! There’s actually a whole album of this stuff. Not just like Halford’s Winter Songs. Or that one with Christopher Lee. But like Lemmy, Dio, Alice Cooper, and more. It’s not too shabby, though I’ll show my lack of knowledge & say I only recognize a few names up in there. There’s a whole Wikipedia thing on the album.

Dio covering God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen with Tommy Iommi is pretty awesome. Chugga guitar riffs when there’d usually be a gaggle of singers singing and then Dio just belting it out. Fantastic stuff.
