What makes the Hard'n'Heavy fan during the Advent / Christmas season? - Ears and through? - Real hardness show in enduring the countless and mostly intolerable Weihnachtsmelodien that trickle from radio, Weihnachtsmarkt- and department store PA? - Flirting with wool Petry's Christmas CD, because there at least electric guitars can be heard? And then at home einschmeißen the Good Death and Devil songs, but leave the unfortunately nothing advent of the Christmas spirit? - 4-6 weeks a year is exposed to the metalheads existential stress! - But there is help !!!!! - Because a lot is not necessary in order to survive and be happy: 1. The Christmas Trilogy by Trans-Siberian Orchestra - bombast Metal at its best, 3 CDs long! 2. Metal God Halford with his "Winter Songs" - Straight and "priestig". If to be fair without kitsch or triefig the topic! 3. "Winter Carols" by Blackmore's Night - Not exactly "Smoke On The Water", but still "campfire in the snow or fireplace" -tauglich. 4. Tarja Turunen with "My Winter Storm" - Nice and turgid 'n gloomy bushes. And for Open-Minder: Sting "If On A Winter's Night" Ultimately, even for Ostrocker and sympathizers: Puhdys with "days of December / -nights" - From bombastic rock to acoustic ballad on it all. - So people: Once properly invested, never again ears cancer at Christmas time! - Happy Holiday!
