Final fall, James Hetfield stated that he didn’t need Metallica to turn out to be one other “legacy band that simply performs their biggest hits.” I’d say releasing a theatrical Christmas cowl wouldn’t actually obtain stated objective.
That’s proper, Hetfield has unveiled a spoken phrase model of “A Go to From St. Nicholas,” aka “Twas The Evening Earlier than Christmas” for all you Christmas plebeians. This much-needed dose of Yuletide pleasure debuted on the band’s personal Most Metallica SiriusXM channel, with the legendary rockers asking listeners in all places to “seize your cocoa and settle in by the hearth” as Hetfield does his factor.
And boy oh boy does Hetfield, certainly, do his factor. Regardless of some people beforehand critiquing his singing voice, Hetfield’s gruff, bassy pipes are the proper supply car for this vacation basic. If something, they add simply the correct amount of “darkness” and common depth that completely pairs with the marginally edgy qualities of the unique tune/poem. Actually, I even like this rendition greater than that one time he lined “Enter Sandman” after inhaling helium.
