Satisfy your rifflust and praise the pagan winter solstice rituals of old with a special winter holiday-themed episode of Powerchord!!! We kick it off with Tampa death metal legends Nocturnus, and their gloriously sacrilegious nativity-demolishing anthem "Destroying the Manger" from their 1990 album The Key! We'll face the onrushing cold of the winter months with a trio of frigid Quebecois black metal rituals from Spectral Wound, Csejthe and Délétère, as well as an epic track from Weakling's legendary USBM masterpiece Dead As Dreams. We'll also play crushing new death metal from 200 Stab Wounds, Mortiferum and Frozen Soul, and throw in a clinic on dreamy, psychedelic heaviness from Dream Unending's magnificent new album Tide Turns Eternal. Not only that, but we're gonna play a few holiday classics from the likes of Jesu, Tge Black Halos, King Diamond, AC/DC and England's Loudest Rock Band, Spinal Tap! Join us, raise a goblet of eggnog and rage at the darkness as we bring you the soundtrack for the the longest and coldest nights of the year!
