Happy Fucking New Year!

As the year comes to a close, and the holiday decorations are taken down, one usually would like to take a well-deserved break to relax. For some though, it may be nice to end the year with a metal Christmas album.

Psychostick's 2007 EP, The Flesh Eating Rollerskate Holiday Joyride, is both fun and cynical. Just one look at song titles like "Holiday Hate", "Jolly Old Sadist", "Red Snow", and the classic "Happy Fucking New Year" tells you that this isn't your average Christmas-gone metal album. While of course just looking at the lyrics will produce some laughs, this is Psychostick we're talking. They're a perfect example of a band that combines comedy with catchy riffs and overall great musicianship.

Playing their typical blend of various metal styles, this EP delivers 8 tracks of holiday cynicism. "Holiday Hate" is a nice jab at commercialism, "Red Snow" is a downright depressing take on Rudolph, while "Happy Fucking New Year" is incredibly fun all-year-round. The latter has some absolutely killer funky bass licks, along with head-bang ready riffs.

Looking for some cynical catchy metal for the holidays? Check this EP out, it's a short but sweet treat. If you're too sick of the holidays to listen to this though, Psychostick's entire discography is full of hilarious varied metal. Hope you found this review helpful, feel free to comment!
