Like a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, muscle-bound Santa, riding a flaming steel sleigh across the night sky with studded leather reins in one hand and his lightning-flecked Mj\u00f6lnir in the other, heavy metal icon THOR will be delivering the ultimate stocking stuffer to metalheads everywhere this season – his very first holiday album!\u00a0Christmas In Valhalla\u00a0features 9 original Christmas songs that are sure to become headbanging holiday classics in the years to come from the driving metal mania of \u201cSlay Rider\u201d to the fun-loving \u201cGonna Have a Rockin’ Christmas.\u201d The album features performances by the same band who appear on THOR’s excellent recent album\u00a0Beyond The Pain Barrier\u00a0and comes with a killer cover illustration by Marvel UK comic illustrator, Simon Williams. The CD and digital album will be available on October 26 from Deadline Music, a division of Cleopatra Records, Inc.<\/p>\n

The mighty THOR himself declares, \u201cI’ve been wanting to make a Christmas album since the\u00a0Keep The Dogs Away\u00a0era in 1978. Now, 40 years later, Cleopatra Records has given me the opportunity to record this holiday gem. This album was so much fun to make. I hope everyone who hears it feels that extra Christmas spirit!\u201d<\/p>\n
