To celebrate the season of giving, and due to our inability to put a properly researched episode together this month we have a lighter then usual discussion about some usually maligned bands we feel deserve a second or first look from those that wrote them off.
Plus a brief discussion of some Metal Christmas Originals to liven up your cover laden holiday playlists.
