"Ragnarok Juletide" is the English language debut of Finland's multi-platinum selling "Raskasta Joulua" collection of Finnish melodic heavy rock stars playing Christmas classics with a metal edge.
Fans of Trans-Siberian Orchestra will find even more to love hear, with the creative arrangements, mash-up medleys and soaring (and searing) vocals.
Highlights include the joyful "We Celebrate at Christmastime" that pokes fun at the commercialisation of the season, the broodingly beautiful "Here on the Hay" (from the French carol "Entre le boeuf et l'ante gris") and the heart rending prayer of a child and his mother for an absent father in "Home for Christmas"
Features vocalists from Nightwish, Sonata Arctic, Amaranthe, Northern Kings, Teräsbentoni, and winners of Finlands Idols and The Voice. Its a different kind of holiday vibe, but one that can be shared across generations for a rocking Christmas. Highly recommended!
