A Merry Rockfest Christmas

"Rockfest Records has been a monumental force in the Christian rock and metal community for the last few years. They have been signing and supporting great bands and artists and have released killer music with them. A while back, they released a compilation of the artists they had at the time. Now, they have released a new compilation, this time of Christmas themed songs that bands on the label have covered. This is A Merry Rockfest Christmas.
This compilation features a range of rock styles, as are present on the label. Artists range from the gritty, nu-metal Relent, the forerunners of Christian rock Seventh Day Slumber, and metalheads Amongst The Giants. There is a variety, though all are fairly similar in musical intensity. The traditional melodies of these songs are close to the originals while each artist puts its own flair on. Hard rock is the focus with degrees of heaviness throughout.
Christmas themed songs range from classic songs to modern Christmas songs that just that: Christmas-themed. Songs like Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You and Kelly Clarkson's Underneath The Tree are positive, up-beat songs but not deep in spiritual depth as with most modern pop songs. But classics like "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and "Mary, Did You Know" are present too. The majority are modern songs, though."
