Crazy Lixx Release Video For Amazing New Song

Crazy Lixx just released a video for the song "Call to Action" from their new self-titled album. This is by far one of the best tracks I've heard all year: listen to the layers of the song! There's modern Glam mixed with classic Motley Crue -- really great stuff here. Crazy Lixx was released in early November. I didn't pick it up then, but you can believe I'm ordering it off Amazon now.

The Most Metal of All Christmas Songs?

"Johnny Died on Christmas" may be the most metal Christmas tune of all time. Featured on the 1991 album Nitro II: H.W.D.W.S. (Hot, Wet, Drippin’ With Sweat), the song’s capstone moment is a badass guitar solo by virtuoso Michael Angelo Batio. Do you agree or do you have a pick for a better metal Christmas song?
