Clouds Taste Satanic
All I Want For Christmas Is Your Soul (10")
This is Clouds Taste Satanic putting out a Christmas covers EP. It starts with their rendition of Mariah Carey's 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' where Carey's vocal parts become guitar solos and jingle bells add a festive feel to the tune that contrasts with the metal elements of the band. Then comes their take on 'You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch,' which adapts very nicely to a doom metal style as the guitars, once again, play the vocal melodies as solos. Next up is a version of Spinal Tap's 'Christmas With The Devil,' complete with the intro from 'Carol Of The Bells' like the original Spinal Tap version. Finally, the band gives their take on the classic Christmas tune 'Little Drummer Boy,' which dates back to the 1940s and was first recorded by the Von Trapp Family Singers - yes, the ones who 'The Sound Of Music' is about. CTS perfectly transforms the song with long, droning bass and mesmerizing guitar solos. If you're looking to get into the Christmas spirit while still staying metal AF, this EP is for you.
