Bad Santa Project (Sevastopol, the Crimea) is a metal band without a permanent line-up, so the band gathers once a year with different musicians to behave like some musical hooligans focusing on the New Year topics. This time the band presents an ecologically friendly thriller "X-mas Tree", featuring all acting and former members of Heather Wasteland (3-bass Heretical Folk Art Horde) and the singer of Ethnor (progressive death metal). Enjoy!

The Ones Who appeal to the human race to respect Mother Nature and give up cutting any living new year trees, are as follows:

Vladimir Ryazanov - vocal (Ethnor)
Anatoliy Polovnikov - drums (Heather Wasteland, ex-Paranormal Activity)
Alexander Vetrogon - 6-string bass, video, axe (Paranormal Jazz, ex-Heather Wasteland)
Sergey Pavlov - 4-string bass, axe (Heather Wasteland)
Andrey Anikushin - 4-string bass (New Guns For Free, ex-Heather Wasteland)
Sergey Seratonin - mixing and mastering (Seratonin Studio)

Christmas has come early with Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul's jubilant new video for their just-released holiday song "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)." In the festive clip, frontman Steven Van Zandt, decked out in head-to-toe stripes, elf ears and a pointy hat, leads his 15-piece band, all dressed in their merry best, through a spirited update on The Ramones classic. The band, looking like they're having an absolute blast, performs the song with toy instruments on a sun-soaked beach and in their hometown New York City while footage from vintage movies and cartoons from the early 20th century like "A Trip To The Moon," "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" and "A Christmas Carol" is interspersed throughout, adding to the videos exuberant nature. The video is premiering at Billboard over HERE.


In celebration of the holidays, ERA 9 have dropped another unpredictable, addictive video for a new track entitled "Santa's Naughty List (XMAS Remix)". The track starts out as fun, club-ready trap-hop with a sinister twist, and suddenly veers into an in-your-face low and heavy metal jam.

ERA 9 released the video yesterday as an exclusive premiere partnership with the multi-platform video and music network Music Choice. The video is now available for fans to view on Music Choice On Demand (Directional:  Music Choice>Holiday Hits). The video can also be found on the Music Choice app by signing in with your TV Provider ID & Password, and searching "ERA 9". Music Choice's commercial-free holiday music will be available nationally throughout the US on various cable providers, via the Music Choice app and online at www.musicchoice.com.

Guitarist Jona DhePaganon says, "When it comes to the holidays, most artists make a jolly ol' Christmas song; about good cheer, love and snow and all that. Seeing as ERA 9 doesn't follow conventional formats, we undoubtedly went a different direction for our traprock XMAS remix of The Nutcracker, Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. It depicts Santa (Anthony Lalla) and Mrs. Claus (Laurie Normandin) as they interrogate a few bad boys and girls who seem to always end up on the nice list. This year is different though... the Claus family is tired of their sh*t and will not be having any more of it! Watch as they personally deliver some gifts and express their disgust at the naughty ones."

DhePaganon adds, "We filmed this with only an iPhone and a budget so low that even the props were returned when we were done (keep this between us though - we would hate to end up on the naughty list too). Merry Christmas and Happy New year from your favorite Canadians, ERA 9!"

"I Don't Wanna Mention Any Names" and "Sooner Or Later", were the set of singles to hit my radar little did I know, they would not be the last of her work, her being Lynne Taylor Donovan. Indeed these set of singles coming out at various times were quite nice to say the least. But since some time has come and gone for them and the holidays are upon us, for the time being why not throw in some good old holiday tunes, which is where Lynne Taylor Donovan comes into play again. Her holiday Christmas track being written not by her but by Tony Koenen, the track titled "Dear Santa". A rather nice tie in to the holiday spirit of things happening in and around the place.

In any case though "Dear Santa", goes off into being a lot like other holiday Christmas tracks, some being covered versions of course, while others were original working's from numerous artists and or bands, it varied here and there. "Dear Santa", on the other hand was written by Tony Koenen as said, so it this matter this is a brand new holiday Christmas tune for all to hear and perhaps enjoy as well.
Now then, "Dear Santa", can be heard in its audio form or seen in a somewhat form of a video release, the video being quite brief, as the song is in either case audio or video, but the video particularly showcases telling you in lettering and all, that "It's Christmas time once more, and here is a little message from the children". So what is the apparent message that is so important from the children in question, well it goes  into details about telling good old Santa Claus about wanting a gift of love and peace, among other things. But love and peace being quite important if not the most. So it is a type of song, that embraces the spirit of the holiday that is Christmas, as well as other holidays before and after too.

It going on to explain how the children just want the goodness of what is out there, that love from their loved ones such as family, friends, everyone, taking in said time of peace, just wanting all to be merry and nice to one another, as it always should be. That is how this song plays itself out really. Which it should because it is that time of year, where love and peace is needed most, especially in the state of being, that the world and people are in currently. Times are tough but we all just need a little bit of care, loving, and peace to get us through.

Lynne Taylor Donovan's "Dear Santa", track is just a tip of what the holidays are about. This being a letter to Santa, in the form of a song, is quite catching when realizing it. Otherwise, the song as a wholesome truth's is just lots of fun, upbeat, and blends into the likeness that is the holiday spirit and cheer.

Hailing from Berlin, Germany, thrash metal unit Exxperior have published a video for the track "A Christmas Carol", a metal musical taken off the band's Christmas EP, "From Weird to Magical", released on December 2016.

"Wow and Flutter" was the upcoming album from Amilia K Spicer, whose single from said album titled "Fill Me Up", was the buzz of the album back this past spring time that was 2017. Now that, that single and it's addressing album have seen the spotlight for some time now, it is time for a change of pace. Which revolves around the holiday season that has been upon the masses as of fall recently. This brings us to an oldie but a goodie from Amilia K Spicer with her Christmas track with video release titled "Love's For Living".

The video featuring an array of holiday themed goodness of Christmas time adore. As it showcases not just Amilia strutting her stuff in her winter attire with numerous clips posted here and there of the holiday times, in cartoon fashion, animal videos, to other gimmicks and holiday highlights, Amilia does quite a good job in terms of this video's concept and the song as a whole. Besides her being decked out in her wintery attire with holiday decor about, the track itself is very slow paced but has a good beat.

It does not really depict Christmas lyrics within it, as it is more of a loving track appeal. But the concept to the video is holiday themed, so that mixed in with the loving aspect blends well together. The song as said prior, has a beat that is very upbeat, quite catching to the ear, and video's visuals is again fun and wholesome. If you had to toss this track or video about during the holiday season, it would be a fine fit.

As far as Amilia's vocalization and instrumental works upon this holiday track, her vocal work is done nicely, her soothing tone keeps the instrumentals afloat and in check. While the instrumentals keep a sure but steady pace of beat, using mostly guitar work with minor use of any other instruments noted. This addition of having less is much more to the ear, as it makes the song more welcoming and fun. Still for a song dealing about a topic that is always relatable in whatever context at hand, it's merely one of those tracks that can be heard whenever during the holiday time of year really.

If the loving theme or concept of said video does not do it for you, then perhaps listening in to such a catching tune, may not be the trick to your seasonal fix. But that does not mean it isn't still there for the listening experience. Again, this particular track is differed from her newer works for sure, but that makes this track and video much more stable yet suitable that it can easily if not possible become a classic holiday tune of the time and place of Amilia's career in music.

In other words, Amilia K Spicer has got one knocking hit of a tune here, that will sure to delight and entertain those during the holiday times of the yearly year. Whether that be with family or friends, close at hand, toss on this track, and you will be greeted with fun and glee galore.

Band's Current Single "Dead" Climbs to #14 at Mainstream Rock and Breaks the Top 20 at Active Rock

The All American band, Buckcherry will be giving the gift of rock this holiday season with "Christmas is Here." The band's original holiday track is a seasonal compliment to their current single "Dead" from the album All Night Long, which debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard's 200 chart. This week, "Dead" climbed to #14 on the Mainstream Rock chart and broke the Top 20 on the Active rock chart.

Front man Josh Todd says, "We have been wanting to write an original Christmas song for some time and never had the time until now. 'Christmas is Here' got started with a simple melody like all the great traditional Christmas songs. I then took it to Keith and told him how I wanted the music to go, and it came together very quickly with all 5 of us jamming up at the Bastard Ranch where All Night Long was made. Like everything Buckcherry, we hope it puts a smile on your face. Merry Christmas!"

On TV, Buckcherry joins the DIRECTV Concert Series. The show features Buckcherry at the Moondance Jam Festival performing hit songs including "All Night Long" and "Lit Up." Premieres Saturday, December 11, at 9pm ET/PT exclusively on The 101 Network - DIRECTV Channel 101.
