If your idea of a good Christmas song is some jingly-jangly Bing Crosby fluff, you should stay home and drink some eggnog out of your princess tea set, because you can’t handle Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a holiday-focused metal act that was forged in the fiery depths of St. Nick’s dungeon. The act’s soaring guitar solos will scorch a snowflake on your very soul as you indulge in classic holiday tunes, along with TSO’s original rock operas that should leave your rocked-out brain the only thing stirring on Christmas Eve. If the sonic intensity of this snow-drowned mastery doesn’t convert you to worship at TSO’s altar, the lasers and pyrotechnics will. Great for kids, too!
