SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:25 MIN.
From their 1996 holiday album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra exuberantly re-imagines “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” with a heavy metal instrumental riff.
REVIEW:
Pulsating with a catchy metal melody (including the use of ominously-tolling bells), “Christmas/Sarajevo 12/24” deserves its annual radio play amidst the holiday season. Considering the track doesn’t wear out its welcome, one just wishes that this musical gem would last at least another minute. Hearing The Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s mini-masterpiece reinvigorating “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” as a rock anthem is well worth the download.
