King Diamond’s “No Presents For Christmas” is one of the meanest-sounding holiday tracks of all time. With razor-sharp riffs and the King’s ridiculously evil falsetto vocals coupled alongside lyrics about Santa Claus, it’s a strange pairing but a metal classic.
GWAR’s Christmas anthem is just as disgusting as the title would suggest. It was written prior to late frontman Dave Brockie’s passing. Featuring some of his signature gross-out lyrics, it includes lines about rubbing up on strippers during the holiday.
Who could have guessed that nü-metal icons Kornhave a soft spot for the holidays? Their take on “Jingle Bells” is far from the rap metal they’re known to put out though and falls closer to death metal, strangely enough, with vocalist Jonathan Davis sounding more like Chris Barnes than himself.
August Burns Redhave really cornered the metalcore Christmas market with a full-length holiday album and 2017’s “Last Christmas” single. Their seasonal songs make for a perfect playlist on their own. But “Joy To The World” is definitely one of the strongest of the bunch. Fingers crossed it makes their setlist at the first annualChristmas Burns Red ...

Tech-metal crew Becoming The Archetypemay not be around anymore, but the Christcore band pumped out a sick cover of “O Holy Night” that is a must-have for metal holiday playlists. It’s tight, heavy and a whole lot better than listening to jangly Christmas originals.
I Declare Warreally showed their holiday cheer with their 2007 EP Bring The Season, which featured four ridiculously heavy tracks. The cover even has a corny look to it, much like the Christmas albums that have been sitting on thrift-store shelves for years without ever getting picked up.
If you need the absolute heaviest thing to listen to but still want to get festive, South African slam crew Vulvodyniaare here to help. They did a split Christmas release, Slashing Through The Snow, with several other artists and bring a crushing mix to the holiday for their contribution.
Deathcore act Rose Funeral released a sick, snappy Christmas song back when they were active called “A Twisted Funeral Christmas.” With ridiculous lyrics such as “Oh die, all ye faithful, limbless and triumphant” or “Come and behead him, born the king of angels/Oh come let us destroy him, Christ the Lord,” the song is a dark and edgy take on a Chri...
There’s absolutely nothing joyful about grindcore kings Agoraphobic Nosebleed’s Christmas-themed track talking about meth users. The song is a bleak blast of noise with disparaging lyrics and hefty riffs. It’s built for ringing in the holidays in the most disgustingly metal way possible.
