Wow. I wasn't expecting that ...
A great rocker and you have tamed that vocaloid. Some sleigh ride that was.
Very nice full sound and well produced.
Cheers.
Mike.

This is definitely the coolest Christmas song posted here! The first part of the song especially would fit right into a Tarantino movie like Kill Bill  Our very best wishes to you! Rob and Anne-Marie

Janne,
This is an excellent, fun seasonal song. I really love the Shevannai vocals but you have also coaxed some lovely Vocaloid vocals and harmonies out of Ruby.
Also the overall rocky vibe is great and has a sparkling sheen to it
Then there's the guitar solo - HOT!!
Loved it!

Janne
What a sensational and outstanding contribution. This is really well done, and like others have mentioned, this has come from left field.
Excellent.

Greg Thanks Greg for your kind words I hadn't heard about Trans-Siberian Orchestra before but now I'm listening to them, interesting stuff. There is sort of a similar Finnish group Raskasta Joulua, they have made heavy metal version of Christmas songs, check for their English album Ragnarok Juletide, for example White Christmas on YouTube.
