Ring in the winter solstice holiday season with Ian on this very special episode of Powerchord! Enjoy some holiday favourites (and unholy abominations) with us as we pay tribute to the celebration of Yule through the ages, with sounds to set the frigid darkness alight to! Beginning with the classic Nocturnus hymn "Destroying The Manger", we've got your non-sucky heavy metal holiday music playlist covered. Carols and holiday favourites from Twisted Sister, The Darkness, King Diamond and the Ramones will make an appearance, but we'll also pay tribute to the old gods with shamanic riffage from Jex Thoth, Windhand and Solstice, howling black metal from Immortal and Vital Spirit, and some triumphant classic heavy metal from the likes of Cirith Ungol, Haunt and Cauldron. Lucifer himself may just stop by as we dig a track from England's loudest rock band, the legendary Spinal Tap, out of The Graveyard. Celebreate the rebirth of a new sun-cycle with us as we burn the darkness and salute the spirit of our pagan ancestors!
