Thanks to Metal Mykee for this one….

For those of you who won’t spend today at the movies prior to enjoying dinner at a Chinese restaurant… have a great holiday! Here’s Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Rudy Sarzo, and Simon Wright doing “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.” If only Christmas carols were this metal…

-Axl & Vince

As you’ve no doubt noticed, we’re mostly done for the year here at MS. Suarez is going to see Coalesce on the 30th at Club Europa in Brooklyn, but other than that metal pickins around here are slim. Axl’s holed up in the Axl Annex with Sacha the Death Metal Puppy and I’m heading down to sunny Costa Rica in a few days. Peachy!

MS reader “tnicklas” send in this mildly entertaining Black Metal Christmas video by the band Erlosung. Enjoy, and stay warm.

Yeah, tomorrow is Halloween. And sure, you’re all excited to dress up as that dude from Watchmen or a slutty nurse/secretary/schoolgirl/turd and probably not thinking about Christmas just yet. Since it’s less than two months away, I can’t think of a more miserable way to honor/desecrate Jesus’ birthday than with some good ol’ fashioned holiday music performed by Judas Priest’s Rob Halford. That’s right: ROB HALFORD HAS A FUCKING CHRISTMAS ALBUM OUT. Here’s the single “Christmas Comes For Everyone”:

God, this is awful. If you’re a masochist, then go ahead and download the single for free at Halford’s website.

I’m buying this album for all of my MetalSucks colleagues for Hannukah, because I hate them.

[Gary Suarez is baking you a fruitcake. He usually manages the consistently off-topic No Yoko No. Say, why don't you follow him on Twitter?]

Check out the 2008 Metal Injection holiday special, “Season’s Bleedings,” below. It’s the timeless tale of two horny, weed lovin’ metal heads who want nothing more than to summon a succubus from the depths of hell so they can get laid. And who can’t relate to that, on a basic human level?

Download the hi-res iPod friendly version on iTunes so that you can jerk-off to that super hot chubby demon wherever you go.
