So if there’s one huge myth about the Goth and industrial scene at large that I’m about to dispel it’s that everyone within the scene hates Christmas music. I am very much involved in the scene and I can say for certain that I absolutely adore Christmas music. Not all of it, of course, but give me some Trans-Siberian Orchestra and I’ll be Holly Jolly all night long. ‘Last Christmas’ by Wham!? Yeah, I’ll listen to that while drinking my eggnog. And don’t even get me started on Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. Anyway, the list goes on and on and on and on.
What is the point of all this? Well, I’ll tell you what. Solo industrial musician grabyourface and industrial webzine Elektro Vox joined together for a very merry collaboration called ‘GRABYOURCHRISTMASTREE’. The description reads that it’s an album for goths who hate Christmas music, that its very polite, and that it also contains adult content. Something in there tells me a ton of sarcasm was poured into this album. Either way you might find a track or two to add to your own holiday playlists, maybe even more. Check it out.
The likes of Moaan Exis, Bara Hari, MATT HART, Straftanz, Draven, Ratio Strain, Caustic, Biomechanimal, TeknoVore, and so many more join grabyourface on this compilation. All proceeds from the compilation will go to the Wisteria Cat Rescue and Chat Libras, two organizations helping our furry friends. Oh, also, there’s a secret bonus track when you buy the album.
