12 Metal Days of Christmas (day 5)

The countdown continues with it being 5 days till Christmas!   ENJOY this cheesy as all hell version of "Silent Night" by Manowar.   I'm a Manowar fan (and an admittedly cheesy person myself), and I am proud to say I love this song, which manages to be both silly and amazing.  Don't shut the song off too quick though- you have to make it to at least 1:50 in.

Day 5: Manowar - "Silent Night"

Heavy Metal Xmas Songs from Christopher LEE!

I have some awesome and interesting news on the man best known as Count Dracula.  Horror movie legend Sir Christopher Lee is releasing a a collection of Christmas songs- that are heavy metal.   Hell yes, Dracula!!

The 90-year-old actor has dabbled in heavy metal over the last few years, recording several of his own albums and working with bands including Rhapsody of Fire and Manowar, as well as Judas Priest star Richie Faulkner.
Lee, who is both a vampire and a classically-trained singer, is now offering up a collection of holiday songs, including heavy metal covers of Little Drummer Boy and Silent Night.  Seeing as metal and horror are two of my favorite things, I would like to think of this as a personal Christmas gift to mwah from Mr. Lee.
The festive tracks, titled A Heavy Metal Christmas, are available through iTunes.

Loudest band on earth....

In 1985, Iron Maiden got the Guinness World Record for Loudest band on the planet.  Take that, Manowar!

Just because you love loincloth

Over bands play.  Manowar kills.
