"We Wish You A Metal Christmas and a Headbanging New Year" Release October 2008

I know it's early but get ready for the heaviest Christmas album that has ever been released on planet earth

"We Wish You A Metal Christmas and a Headbanging New Year" features never before heard combinations of everybody who is anybody in metal, including Alice Cooper, Lemmy Kilmister, Ronnie James Dio, Dave Grohl, Billy Gibbons, Tony Iommi.

Check out the line-ups below; it makes you wish they had done a straight-up metal album rather than a Christmas one, but what the heck, these line-up's would sound good doing Abba covers ! Oh, yeah, thats been done already.....

It's all due to be released in the U.S. on October 14 via Amoury Records and Black Ion Music.
