Halford – Halford III: Winter Songs (Metal God Entertainment)
I laughed at Twisted Sister‘s Twisted Christmas, but apparently, they laughed all the way to the bank.
I’ll give ’em credit for at least opening my mind up to the idea of a heavy metal Christmas effort, but the more I thought about it, the more I began to realize that Trans-Siberian Orchestra is probably a good as the metal Christmas genre is going to get. And the more I thought about what exactly TSO does each year, the more I think it’s a fucking awesome idea: You blow the entire season up to rival the endless barrage of commercialism, throw in some smoke, lasers, and breakneck fingertapping guitar solos.
In 60 days, you’ve made enough bank for the next 10 months and like stop-motion Burl Ives you’re back next year.
