The holiday season has arrived. Amidst twinkling lights, inevitable retrospectives, and get-togethers, the end of the year can also feel different. Far from traditional Christmas classics, rock and heavy metal offer alternative soundtracks for those who prefer heavy guitars, irony, and attitude even in a festive atmosphere.
From reimagined Christmas carols to songs celebrating excess, reflection, and the chaotic spirit of the New Year, Wikimetal has compiled a playlist featuring perfect tracks to soundtrack Christmas and New Year's without sacrificing heaviness.
The playlist caters to all tastes. Among the selected songs are names like Paul McCartney, Korn, Ramones, My Chemical Romance, Queens, King Diamond, AC/DC , Corey Taylor , Foo Fighters, Tarja, Rob Halford , Black Label Society, Garotos Podres and more.
It's available on the Spotify player below:
