OK, so i want to make a CD, itll have to be for next year now i guess, but itll have dark/hardcore themes to the christmas concept.

Im not so much after parodies/comedy renditions that are just funny, im after propper hardcore songs.

So far im thinking:

Wednesday 13 - Buried By Christmas
KoRn - Jingle Balls
KoRn - Kidnap The Sandy Claws
Rise Against - Making Christmas

And ive run out of songs that come to mind. I thought other people out there might have some knowledge of other similar songs that will suit the idea im after.

So post up any ideas you might have ladies, gents and naughty little xmas elves!

Um, okay...how about on a religious topic on the pain and sorrow the centurion felt who killed baby boys in Bethlehem for King Herod...maybe have him kill his own son or something. I don't know. Just trying to help...

Um, I think there is a "I saw daddy kissing santa claus" song... but that's not really hardcore is it? Maybe something by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra? I like them...
Actually... Ignore that. I have no idea what "hardcore" is so I'm not going to be of much help...

Not really sure if it's so much a hardcore song, but it is a mocking the holidays sort of song.

'December is for Cynics' by The Matches.

@ maidenroseheart: uhh... what now?

@ akinmytua: I think ive heard of it and its more a parody than a propper metal/hardcore xmas song. Thanks for the suggestion though.

@ Kurai Amaya: Thats a good suggestion! Not quite as hardcore as im hoping to get hold of, but a good place to start. im thinking more heavy metal/hard rock and dark electronic type styles.

I'm not sure there ARE a lot of "hardcore" Christmas themes. O_o Nor dark ones. Isn't Christmas supposed to be "happy"? Lol

Good luck though. <3 I'm interested in seeing what you find. nwn

Yeah, hence why i want to try and find anything like that that i can! I dont want the normal happy tunes of xmas blaring out of my car in the carpark, i want some REAL music playing!

my bad, i thought you were wanting to write a song and i was trying to think up some topic that seemed darker (based on your outfit i guess) didn't mean to offend...

Well you could try the soundtrack from The Nightmare Before Christmas, but those song are more just verging on dark than they are hardcore.

Well, how 'bout "Gothic Christmas" by Within Temptation? It's not as hardcore as KoRn or Wednesday 13 (Yay for W13 by the way! <3), but...

I would agree with SkyKittyCat on the Nightmare before Christams soundtrack, I think if you look into Nightmare revisited you'll get a bit more hardcore. Artists redid all the songs. Two good songs for this might be:

Kidnap the Sandy Claws - redone by KoRn

AND/OR

Making Christmas - redone by Rise Against

Hopefully that was helpful! Good luck compiling your CD

I don't think it fits in the genre of music you're looking for and it's for Chanukkah instead of Christmas, but The Gods of Fire have an album called Hanukkah Gone Metal. May be something to look into for the future. Found it while poking around the iTunes store one evening. XD

Trans-Siberian Orchestra aren't 'hard-core' in the classic sense... but they are sheer liquid awesome, in my opinion.
