Metal Christmas Songs Thread

I personally like metal versions of Christmas songs and I am looking for versions. If you know any metal or hardrock Christmas song versions you may post them here.

Let me begin with three examples:

 

Here is the song Mary's Boy Child by the X-Mas Project which was a project in the 80s with members from Rage, Mekong Delta, Living Death, Axel Rudi Pell's Steeler, Tankard, and Holy Moses:

 

Mary's Boy Child - X-Mas Project (singer Peavy Wagener from Rage)

 

This is Jingle Bells from the same project but with Toto from Living Death singing:

 

 

This is Ronnie James Dio with God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

 

 

Oh well here�s a classic that uses a couple of Christmas themes:

I've always found this one pretty funny. It stands well as its own song too!

I'll revisit this thread when it gets closer to Christmas.  For now, I want the snow to melt. 

Here�s one from Danish metal act Red Warszawa. It�s called "Julemandens Selvmordsbrev" ("Santa�s Suicide note") . The pressure has become too much for Santa and he hangs himself. During the song we�re also told that he used to have sex with the leprechauns. Bizarre and totally "out there" lyrics as usual from these Danish madmen.

Did anyone hear that Corey Taylor one last year ?
It was pretty obnoxious.
