Kerrang! Presents: The Ultimate Xmas Slay-List!

Need some Christmas tunes that don't suck? Step this way…

December 23, 2018

Dear Mariah, shut up. Hey, Bublé: bog off. Oi, Slade… You're alright, actually. But most Christmas music can jog on. Not all of it, though. We've put together a festive playlist to blast away the tedious shite they're playing in the supermarket and get you in the mood for a serious binge on presents and sprouts, featuring those festive bastards in Weezer, Bad Religion, Korn, Type O Negative, and the always holly-jolly Corey Taylor.

Get on it, and Merry Christmas, everyone!
