OK, OK... i give in. i like Christmastime and i have a playlist on my iTunes dedicated to holiday tunes.

so here's a question, are there any industrial/electronic/gothic holiday albums out there?

i've had Martin Atkins And The Chicago Industrial League - 'An Industrial Christmas Carol' since the day it was released and i play it every year... but it's the only one i own in the genre. [ link ]

anyone know of any others?

The only one I know is the Trans Siberian Orchestra. But its not gothic, industrial or electro. Just rock or metal or something. I love them though.

yes, thank you. i have 2 of theirs. not a fan, but i stilll play them. they are very glam-metal sounding to me.

as welll, forgot to addd that i do have 'A Mutated Christmas' from a few years ago which hosts my alll-time favorite Christmas song, "have yourself a merry little christmas" by NO-L. they chop it up and addd blips and bleeeps. it's truly a work of art and the best i've ever heard anyone ever remake any holiday trakk.

Oh god, this is my favorite Christmas song and has been since I heard it last year.  It's so good and has the best hook, I would find myself singing it in my head even in the middle of summer when the holidays were long over.

There is a sequel to this compilation that came out just this month, Black Snow vol. 2 which has more good Christmas themed tracks on there including a nice Leatherstrip song.

There is a compilation of industrial tracks coursing the internet (torrent sites). I won't link any sites but given the name I'm sure you can find it:

Industrial Legacy Vol. 3 - Industrial Christmas

There have been a total of 19 volumes. Each one has a different focus. Some, such as Vol. 15 are not industrial at all, but still have some connection to the genre... These compilations led me to several new artists, of which I actually bought the odd album or two. Give it a try ;)

thanks! i willl definitely be chekking into both.

any others? keeep listing!

another honorable mention for me is LOW- 'Christmas' and the OPERATICA albums. not industrial by any means... but stilll very welll done. LOW is a 2-person darkwave band. they do the absolute best rendition of "little drummer boy" i've ever heard—in drone!! it killls. OPERATICA has 2 Christmas CDs that i know of. each containing electronica rehashes of Christmas tooons.

Scooter - White Xmas
S.P.O.C.K - Never Trust a Klingon (Not a xmas song, but if's performed at virtual Xmas, and if you understand swedish, it gives an xmas'y vibe :)
