Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.12

“Christmas Apocalypse” from Larry X-Ray seems to be experimenting with the fundamentals of music and singing. It’s verisimilitude for breaking down.

“Christmapocalypse” from cake face is electronic metal with a great title, but seems to only concern itself with the existential crisis of a boringly mundane holiday time.

Take a seat. “Christmastime in the Apocalypse” from Che Prasad is a mammoth undertaking. Seems to begin with a pandemic, but then zombies… eventually Hell’s demons take the stage. This pub rock is quite a journey. Impressive.

Keep Tucson Sketchy has an after-the-bomb holiday album offer with “Christmas Songs for the Apocalypse.” A moment or two of fun.

Foster Gray & The JJs amateur rock the concept with their meandering “Christmas Apocalypse.” Someone’s coming for your gifts. Seem to be amusing themselves.

Apparently professional voice -over mocksmen RiffTrax (li’l sis is a big fan) has a glee club called RiffTones. Their “Apocalypse Christmas” faces down marching zombies, The Robot War, and spider soldiers. But it’s still the holidays in this punchy dirge. That’s right, this time it’s funny.

Colleen McNutt takes a moment to fun-up ‘Coming to Town’ with a “Doomsday Christmas Carol.” It’s what the internet’s for.

“It’s Christmas Doomsday” is one of those fooling around in the music room rambles by Michael Ambrozic & Friends. No worlds were ended in the singing of this electronica.

Jeweled Snakes synth punk their message of… uhm, being fed up? in the danceable “Doomsday Holiday.” Pack for bad weather.

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.9

After all the good stuff is ruined, Jonathan Mann tells the little ones how much he’d like to “Let It Snow (In the Year 2063).” Gallumphing blues make global warming charmingly scary.

Despite accomplishments like moon landings, SoftLightes points out our loss of love. Consequently There’s a fire that’s burnin’ and demandin’ and this may be “The Last Christmas on Earth.” Dancing is prescribed in this rocker.

The excess is no excuse! “More!” by Devin Townsend invokes greed from the kids, the self, and Jesus, too. Salesmen are-a-coming and they want more! Christmas is-a-coming and kids want more! Armageddon is-a-coming and we want more we say! It’s our way, with metal.

Michael M thinks children are the future… and that sucks. “Humans are Not Worth Saving (Merry Christmas)” is poppin’ indie with a ‘tude.

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.8

Man of Arms worries about zealots, breadlines, and missile launches in their spunky indie “It’s Christmas Time and Everything’s Wrong.” Lively for a bummer.

Hot Buttered Elves give us a hot minute of exposition with their “Mayan Santa.” Angry, they claim, the fat man will unleash volcanic endtimes in 2012. Remember that?

Hip to that Bastard Monster barricades the manor to prevent Sant bringing the “Christmas of Doom.” Measured metal makes a meal of this mess. What’s with that spoon?

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.7

End of the world? What about the end of Christmas?! (Sure, we’ve covered the absence of the holidays, but there’s alway room for nullo.)

The Dimmer Twins (Mick & Keef) worry about the bugs and glitches in “Cyber Santa.” One system crash and it all goes away. American rock.

Christmas has been warped beyond recognition, so Kristie K raps that’s just “Doomsday” now. Slow, but emotional.

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.6

It could be the end of the world, sings Akal Odea (feat. DW) for “This Christmas Will be Different.” It’s been a helluva year, he continues, with an R+B downbeat that harshest the buzziest of buzzes.

Palma Violets approaches “Last Christmas on Planet Earth” with enjoyable rocking pop. Rudolph was shot down, but hey–whaddya going to do?

Everybody’s running and screaming crazy! when nuclear war threatens at just the wrong time in Hot Buttered Elves’ “Dead for Christmas.” Listen for the cheering at the end of this garage crowd pleaser.

Tyler Huston gets metal with the rock if it’s gonna be the “Last Christmas on Earth.” I mean, party–right? Or–declare love. Yeah, that’s good, too.

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.5

The screeching metal of “Eco​-​Crisis (All I Want for Christmas is the End of the World)” is Big Brother asking you to take a good look at yourself and quit killing the planet. ‘Kay?

“Party at the End of the World” by The Boys suggests dancing. Odd indie wanderer.

“I Hate New Years Eve” includes watching those people on TV who lose their minds like it’s the end of time. Fine folk pop from The Sunflower Spectacle. Tell us what you really think.

“Maybe It’s Not the End of the World” hopes Kerrin Connolly. But her folky indie has to discount the disasters, catastrophes, and radioactive fallout to get to that silver (and gold) lining. So long as you’re singing, i have hope.

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.4

“Our Most Glorious Leader, M​í​che​á​l Ó Muircheartaigh, and His Band – Pyongyang by Christmas (AKA People Who Give Socks As Presents Are West Brits And Will Not Be Spared When The End Times Come And Our Parish GAA Field Becomes Sentient)” by GITrashposting says it all. And then again. Again. Again. Oh. My. God.

Figuratively, “Christmas for the End of the World” by And Then There Was One wallows in the disappointing times we live in. Sing-along pop that points out society’s foibles.

Clear and plaintive, the hair rock of Apocalypse Radio spells out “Christmas at the End of the World.” Get in line now.

Damn That Holiday: Armageddon.3

Bummertrash gets us back to the garage with their shoulder chipping “Joy to (The End of) the World.” Something’s got their goat. BLUE ALERT

Billy Reece is in Pandemic panic with his jazz band “Christmas at the End of the World.” Go grab some ammo… and dance!

Bemoaning the gloom-and-doomsayers, Tampa Stan wants to know, when the end comes “Which Hill Do We Meet On (& Who’ll Bring the Beer)?” From a Christmas album, but not exactly in the spirit–though a suggested remedy for hemorrhoids (asteroid colliding with Earth) is quite generous.

In Providence is looking for his nuclear winter girl while the bombs are whistling their tune in the haunting “End Times.” But, it’s Christmas! La la, lala lala….
