Matthew Skipworth I generally loathe overhyped/ pop versions of Christmas carols. I really love carols when they are done well (usually that means 'heavy'). :)
O Come Emmanuel is a great track. A lovely brutal Christmas track for my collection. I love it! Thanks BT.

China Tosinthiti One of my favorite rearrangement of Christmas songs! Great blend of technical death metal, brutal death metal, and symphonic metal.

CHILD: O come, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appears Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel MAGI: Traversing westward from afar We beheld the rising of the star Tell us where the child was born The One foretold Crown to be worn HEROD: Priests and teachers, come draw near Greatly disturbing, this prophecy here That out of Bethlehem, birth foretold But I am the king, it’s mine to uphold! To be dethroned is what I fear Call the Magi, bring them here With my command, you are beguiled Search ye carefully for this child MAGI: We have finally found the one The Son of God His will be done Treasures to the child we bring Glory to the newborn King NARRATOR: Silent night, holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace ANGEL 1: To the Magi I speak of impending conspirant Return to your land, avoiding the tyrant HEROD: Slaughter the children, two years and under Weeping and mourning, hearts torn asunder ANGEL 1: Joseph arise, take the child and Mary To Egypt you go and do not tarry HEROD: This kingdom is mine, spare not one breath If it’s the last thing I do, I’ll go to my death ANGEL 1: Joseph, get up! The reason you fled The ones who were killing have now become dead Of Herod I speak, the tyrant’s deceased With your family, it’s time to go East NARRATOR: Upon the learning of Herod’s descent Back to the land of Israel they went But when Herod’s son reigned in his stead The family went forth to Nazareth instead Thus fulfilling words what prophets foreseen That the Christ would be called a Nazarene ANGELS: O come, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appears Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel has come to thee O Israel Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices O night divine, O night when Christ was born O night divine O night, O night divine

about

Blood Thirsty Amarillo, Texas

Brutal Symphonic Death Metal.
Crushing 8-string guitars, blast beats, double kicks, and snarling bass set the foundation for Blood Thirsty. Guttural growls, high shrieks, and shredding guitar solos focus the listener in while the symphony orchestra and choirs fill the air with epic, haunting atmosphere. Each song has its own life with lyrics influenced by the Holy Scriptures. ... more
