Three songs from We Wish You A Metal Christmas and a Headbanging New Year are streaming exclusively at http://www.myspace.com/metalchristmas.
We Wish You A Metal Christmas… will also be streaming on every Clear Channel rock radio website. The entire Christmas collection will be available throughout the entire holiday season, starting November 25.
“This CD is the furthest thing from a "Silent Night". It captures all the Christmas spirit.... turned up on 11!” - Vinny Appice
“Don’t you wish you could see this band live?!” - Lemmy Kilmister
“With the exception of the car ride back and forth to my family and in-laws, Christmas is the only time I don't usually get a chance to listen to my fellow MetalHeads! Well not THIS year....Finally I'll be having a Very Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year with the rest of the metalhead community out there! It's been a real honor doing this CD, I hope you all enjoy it!” – Craig Goldy
We Wish You a Metal XMAS and a Headbanging New Year features performances from such icons as Alice Cooper, Vinny Appice, Lemmy Kilmister, Ronnie James Dio, Dave Grohl, Chuck Billy, Tommy Shaw and more, as they put a heavy metal twist on popular holiday songs.

The album is the culmination of the creative efforts of Wendy Dio, Bob Kulick, and Brett Chassen who orchestrated the project, and assembled the all-star cast of heavy metal masters. “This is a metal CD you will want to listen to all year round.
