Description

Like a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, muscle-bound Santa, riding a flaming steel sleigh across the night sky with studded leather reins in one hand and his lightning-flecked Mjölnir in the other, heavy metal icon Thor have delivered the ultimate holiday album for metalheads everywhere. Christmas In Valhalla features 9 original Christmas songs that are sure to become headbanging holiday classics in the years to come from the driving metal mania of Slay Rider to the fun-loving Gonna Have A Rockin Christmas. The album features performances by the same band who appear on Thor’s excellent recent album Beyond The Pain Barrier and comes with a killer cover illustration by Marvel UK comic illustrator, Simon Williams. The mighty Thor himself declares, I’ve been wanting to make a Christmas album since the Keep The Dogs Away era in 1978. Now, 40 years later, i have been given the opportunity to record this holiday gem. This album was so much fun to make. I hope everyone who hears it feels that extra Christmas spirit.
