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 laugh

Our very best wishes to you!

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!

COOL SONG!! Reminds me of the Trans-Siberian? orchestra. Lots of energy, and a fun, exciting, celebratory feel. Very good production and mix. GREAT stuff! Take care. Greg

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

Excellent.

Thanks Jez, nice to hear that you liked the vocal parts. I like the guitar solo too, I think I used some Jimi Hendrix preset in Amplitube for that.

Janne,

I read the comments first and did not know what to expect BUT WHAT A SONG!!!

The song rocks along as if I am sitting on the sleigh, hanging on for dear life grin

Shevannai and Ruby nail the vocals.
Well done!!

I hope you have a good Christmas

Thanks Greg for your kind words smile 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.
