We are pleased to bring you an early holiday present in the form of a wonderfully hard-rocking new Christmas song from Boston — ‘God Rest Ye Metal Gentlemen 2013.’

Released hot on the heels of the group’s first new album in over a decade, ‘Life, Love & Hope,’ this dynamic, somewhat surprisingly metallic version of the holiday classic ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ was produced by guitarist and studio wizard Tom Scholz and performed by him along with Kimberley Dahme, Gary Pihl, and Tom Hambridge. “This was my chance to Boston-ize one of my favorite Christmas carols,” says Scholz, before teasing, “I had so much fun with this one, I think I’ll have to try a few more.”

Starting Dec. 11th, you can buy ‘God Rest Ye Metal Gentlemen 2013′ directly from iTunes.

Our exclusive preview will remain live only until 7 AM EST Saturday, Dec. 14, so be sure to share with your friends and pick up your own digital copy of this new yuletide anthem as soon as possible!
