Metal Christmas Songs are the holiday soundtrack you didn’t know you needed. Metalheads have this stereotype of being hard, dark, and cynical. Though that may be the case, they can still enjoy the festive tunes of the Christmas Holidays. Just because you’re a metalhead doesn’t mean you can’t like Christmas music.

Here’s a list of metal Christmas covers to bring a moshpit to the holidays.

Metal Christmas Cover Songs

To start, we have a rather dark metal with fantastic vocals. Edicius’ Dream provides a phenomenal metal cover of Carol Of The Bells.

Adrienne Cowan, Jack Kosto, and Mike Kerr give a hauntingly beautiful cover of “O Holy Night.” The metal instrumentals combine with Adrienne’s gorgeous voice for a haunting metal cover.

Jonathan Young and RichaadEB provide a rather hard metal cover of “Carol of the Bells” with amazing instrumentals. Jonathan Young also has a cover of “Frosty the Snowman.”

Orion’s Reign and Minniva create an upbeat metal cover of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” This song will make you want to create a mosh pit during a family dinner. They also have an eerily beautiful “Joy to the World” cover.

This is Korn’s cover of “Jingle Bells”. It is everything that a metal song should be: dark, deep, and just a little bit scary.

Leo Moracchioli takes “Last Christmas,” originally by Wham, and gives us something amazingly hard and dark. He has several other Christmas covers, including “All I Want For Christmas is You,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”

Another dark Christmas comic from belzebubs.com

Switching Styles is based in central Alberta, on the enduring homelands of many Indigenous Peoples, including the Beaver, Big Stone Cree, Cree, Dënéndeh, Ĩyãħé Nakón mąkóce (Stoney), Kelly Lake Métis Settlement Society, Ktunaxa ɁamakɁis, Lheidli T’enneh, Michif Piyii (Métis), Mountain Métis, Niitsítpiis-stahkoii (Blackfoot / Niitsítapi), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, Tsuut’ina, ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ ᐊᐢᑭᕀ Nêhiyaw-Askiy (Plains Cree), Woodland Cree, and many others. As a Canadian music platform, we recognize that the arts exist within broader systems shaped by colonial history. Colonial policies and practices deliberately sought to suppress Indigenous cultures, traditions, and songs. We acknowledge this history and its ongoing impacts of colonialism. We are grateful for the opportunity to share music and culture on these lands, and we commit to ongoing learning, accountability, respect, and meaningful action.
 

We commit to supporting Indigenous voices and ensuring that Indigenous music, stories, and cultures are protected, amplified, and never erased.
