Special Edition of We Wish You A Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year

2008’s We Wish You A Metal Xmas and Headbanging New Year has already been issued for re-release by Eagle Rock Entertainment.  Apparently no one could get enough of heavy metal christmas song covers.  So to say thank you for buying the CD again, Eagle Rock has decided to add four tracks they already released last year.  A who’s-who of the oldschool heavy metal elite team up for many of the songs (Lemmy, Dave Grohl, Girlschool, Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, Vinny Appice, Scott Ian, Chuck Billy).

Nathaniel Ott Homer: I am a graduate of Vassar College ('10) with a degree in art history. I love making music even though I have no idea how to play an instrument. I like things big, bold, weird and drab. I like things psychotic and wacky, yet sweet and serene and subtle and sincere.
