Every year at the end of the year, the family gathers together to celebrate Christmas, listening to the immortal music of Christmas. Rockfans are no exception to that rule, but there may be familiar songs rocked very interestingly.
Happy Christmas (War Is Over) – Tarja Turunen
The first is a familiar composition by John Lennon in 1969 and has become a familiar song every Christmas. There are many cover versions of this song, but to open it, let's listen crazy skull hoodies to the version of Tarja - former singer of the Nightwish group.
Holy Night – Rob Halford
The Judas Priest singer reinvented this Christmas carol in a new way. The impressive vocals of the friend and the guitar create excitement for the listeners
hite Christmas – Guns N' Rose
Axl Rose's voice and Slash's guitar are two things that are easily recognized in this cover. The recording is not complete, but it has already started heating up our playlist today
Heavy Metal Christmas – Twisted Sister
The song has quite funny melody as well as lyric of the "old men" Twisted Sister. The song was refreshed by the band from the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. And on the album A Twisted Christmas released in 2006.
Auld Lang Syne – Girlschool
Refreshed by veteran British all-girls band: Girlschool, it's sure to excite you right from the start of the intro. The new remix of the song is very methodical with very "sweet" solo verses.
Run Rudolph Run – Lemmy Kilmister
A cover of Chuck Berry with "early" rock n roll influences. Lemmy's plastic voice is quite suitable for the rebellion of the song. The music is also performed by two famous artists, Dave Grohl and Billy Gibbons (from ZZ Top).
Jingle Bells – Skidrow
Although there is no longer the viking clothings presence of Sebastian Bach, Skidrow is a name that rock fans still remember. They covered the 2007 Jingle Bells for the Monster Ballads Christmas compilation album. The punk style and Skidrow's signature heavy metal make the song somewhat new.
Last Christmas – Leo Moracchioli
Rising stars on YouTube are making professional investments in the videos they make. Typically, Leo Moracchioli with Frog Leap Studios has a channel with more than 300,000 followers. He also just covered Wham's song Last Christmas, which was very impressive when he played all the instruments alone.
We Wish You A Merry Xmas – Jeff Scott Soto
In the album "We Wish You A Metal Xmas And A Headbanging New Year" released in 2008, this will definitely be the song that rock fans choose to listen to every Christmas.
Unlimited Christmas
An exception as well as a priority for Vietnamese Rock when it comes to the mini-album of the band UnlimitedeD. The album was released by the band in 2013 with serious investment when combined with the symphony choir of the Ho Chi Minh City Conservatory of Music. All songs are remixed in the band's power metal style. There is always a list of familiar songs: Christmas Canon (feat Ngoc Tuyen, Joy To The, Little Drummer Boy, Star From Bethlehem and We Wish You A Merry Christmas.
Herrod gave Thora a small viper
Once upon a time, in what is now southern Sweden called Gautland, the earl of this region, Herrod, had a beautiful daughter named Thora. Herrod gave Thora a small viper. She raised the snake on a bed of gold.
Several years passed, the snake grew as fast as blowing. Soon it was so big it could swallow an entire cow. The monster's temperament also became fierce, no one dared to approach it anymore. Herrod then promised to give his daughter in marriage to whoever kills the snake, and the bed full of gold will also become a dowry.
At that time King Sigurd of Denmark had a son named Ragnar. He was famous for being tall and a mighty warrior. Hearing the news of Count Herrod, Ragnar decided to set out to perform the feat. Before leaving, he put on a coat full of feathers dipped in boiling oil, so that he remained unharmed from the snake's venom. Ragnar easily kills the snake and is married to the beautiful Thora. They have two children together, Erik and Agnar.

Not long after, Thora died. Ragnar sadly left the kingdom, roamed and engaged in a series of wars to heal his wounds. In the Norwegian sea, one day, Ragnar met the beautiful Kraka. Kraka was originally the daughter of the dragon-slayer hero Sigurd Fafnirsbane. Overwhelmed by Kraka's beauty, Ragnar still wants to test her intellect. He sent his entourage to invite her, but asked her not to wear clothes, not to be naked, not to eat, not to starve, not to come alone nor to accompany anyone. Kraka took off her clothes, surrounded herself with a net, and wrapped her beautiful long hair around her body like a garment. She took a bite of a leek and brought a dog with her.
Satisfied with both Kraka's beauty and intellect, Ragnar took her as his wife. They had four sons together: Ivar Boneless, Bjorn Ironface, Whitesark and Ragnvald. The three young children are healthy and strong, only the eldest - Ivar Boneless, because of his birth defects, he has only cartilage but no bones, so he cannot walk. In return, Ivar has more wisdom than people, everyone has to rely on his wisdom to solve problems.
Ragnar has a close friend, the Swedish king Einstein. Einstein intended to marry his daughter to Ragnar and advised him to depose Kraka, who was of low birth. Ragnar hesitated and asked his subordinates not to reveal the story, but the three little birds overheard it and flew over to tell Queen Kraka. Kraka rebukes Ragnar's treachery and then reveals her noble identity (daughter of the hero Sigurd). At this time she was pregnant with Ragnar's fifth child. She said that the baby would be born with snake eyes, as if to prove her identity, Everything happened as Kraka foretold, and the child was named Sigurd with a Snake in the Eye.
Again, Ragnar's divorce made King Einstein humiliated. The two become enemies. Ragnar's first two children with his first wife, Erik and Agnar, were both killed by King Einstein. Along with the cunning of Boneless Ivar, Ragnar's remaining sons took revenge and killed King Einstein. Their reputation is known all over the world. They even intended to bring troops as far as Rome, but immediately abandoned that idea when an old man who had once walked here from Rome showed them the iron boots he wore under his feet and another pair on his back. Both pairs are worn out. The road to Rome is too far.
The king of England
Witnessing the glorious feats of his sons, Ragnar was also "disgusting". He ordered the ship to be built and the army gathered to attack England. However, because the ship was too large, it ran aground on the English coast, preventing him from withdrawing in time. The king of England, Ella, sent his army to fight and capture Ragnar alive. He was thrown into a pit full of venomous snakes. Before he died, Ragnar sang a song, including the line: "The pigs in the barn would purr if they knew the pain the wild boar had to endure".
Ragnar's sons, who had just returned from an expedition to Denmark. Ella sent messengers to announce Ragnar's death, not forgetting to tell the messenger to memorize each person's reaction when he heard the news. When the messenger announced the bad news, Bjorn was sharpening a spear handle, he shook the handle. until it broke in two. Whitesark was playing chess when he crushed his pieces to the point of blood, Sigurd was cutting his fingernails and he cut to the bone without even knowing it. Only the eldest son - Boneless Ivar was calm enough to question the messenger meticulously and gently.

Hearing the messenger's narration, Ella said: "Ivar is the only one we have to watch out for." In Denmark, Ragnar's sons wanted to take revenge for their father, but Ivar advised them to accept Ella's compensation and keep the peace. The younger brothers disagreed and took the troops themselves. They are defeated by Ella in turn. Finally, Ivar went to Ella and asked for a small compensation for his father: the amount of land a cowhide could cover. Ella considers it an extremely humble request and accepts. But the wise Ivar cut the cowhide into long strips, and by doing so he encircled a great plain.
In the newly captured land, Ivar built a large stronghold called Lundunaborg (or London is known to the British). He swore not to wage war against Ella, but secretly drew the land's mightiest subordinates away from Ella. When everything was ripe, Ivar informed his brothers back home that it was time to rally the army. Ella was quickly defeated as powerful lords had betrayed him. Ella was captured alive and brutally executed, with her back carved into the shape of a bloody eagle.
After the victory, Ivar continued to rule England, the brothers were divided to return to their homeland, one ruled Sweden, one ruled Denmark... Thus ended the heroic anecdote. of Ragnar and his sons.
Archaeologists are currently investigating the gruesome discovery of a sacrificed Iron Age army in a now dried-up wetland in East Jutland. New finds show that some of the men were laid to rest as skeletons and others intact. This post-war ritual points in the direction of Celtic sacrificial traditions

Danish bogs and wetlands hide unique treasures thanks to their unique conservation conditions. At Alken Enge in Illerup Ådal near Skanderborg in East Jutland, a sensational but also brutal discovery was made: a sacrificed army consisting of approx. 240 young men aged 13-45. A find without parallel in Europe.
The first excavations took place in the late 1950s. But now archaeologists from Skanderborg Museum and Aarhus University have resumed the investigations to fully uncover and understand this unusual find. Already after the first digging season, new knowledge emerges, and at the archaeological annual meeting in Kolding in mid-November, the first startling results were presented.
Archaeologist Ejvind Hertz from Skanderborg Museum has acted as excavation manager both on two preliminary investigations and the excavation this summer.
The discovery and uncovering of an entire Iron Age army is something almost unbelievable. It is the first of its kind, and the many bone finds give us huge basic material that will bring a lot of new knowledge with it. Both about the sacrificed soldiers, the army and its structure and about Iron Age man in general, says Ejvind Hertz.
Alken Enge around the time of Christ's birth
The archaeologists assume that a great battle took place on an as yet undiscovered battlefield somewhere in the vicinity of Alken Enge around the time of Christ's birth. Two armies clashed, and the local army led by one or more East Jutland chieftains emerged victorious from the battle. The outside warriors ended up being sacrificed at Alken Enge. But surprising bone finds this summer showed that not all warriors received the same treatment.

The bones found during the excavations in the 1950s and our preliminary investigations in 2008 and 2009 had the same dark brown colour. The color and position of the bones suggest that they had been skeletonized and then sacrificed. But during our excavation here in 2012, we came across some skeletal remains with a completely different color. They were lighter, which may mean that they originate from an individual that was sacrificed in a whole state, explains Ejvind Hertz.
The archaeologists have thus demonstrated both skeletonization and whole individuals at the sacrifice of the army at Alken Enge. It has brought to mind Roman sources describing the treatment of a defeated army. In many cases, the army commanders were initially spared and taken alive. At Alken Enge they still had to give up their lives and become part of the great sacrifice, but the army commanders were allowed to be killed whole rather than being skeletonized like the other warriors.
