New Slipknot Christmas Album “A Merry Maggot Christmas” Coming Christmas Day
It’s the most wonderful time of the year… and Slipknot is here to make it even more wonderful! That’s right, the heavy metal band known for their intense performances and aggressive music is releasing a Christmas album just in time for the holiday season.
Titled “A Merry Maggot Christmas,” the album will feature the band’s signature aggressive sound but with a festive twist, as it will be full of Christmas-themed bangers. Lead singer Corey Taylor says the album is “a way for us to bring some joy and metal to the holiday season.”
But What Does Corey Taylor Think About Christmas?
Corey Taylor had a lot of spirit to share about the Christmas album. “We’ve always been fans of the holiday season,” said Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor. “There’s just something about the spirit of giving and coming together that resonates with us.”
The album’s first single, a metal version of “Sic (of Christmas),” is already causing a stir on social media, with fans praising the band’s unique attempt on creating their own classic Christmas song. “I never thought I’d hear a Christmas song with blast beats and chugs,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
Some Critics Are Unhappy With Slipknot’s Attempt At Christmas Music
But not everyone is happy about Slipknot’s foray into the world of holiday music. Critics say the band is trying too hard to be edgy and that their aggressive style doesn’t mesh well with the joyful spirit of Christmas. “It’s just a bunch of noise,” one critic wrote in a negative review of the album.
But Slipknot isn’t letting the haters get them down. They’re embracing the Christmas spirit and spreading their unique brand of holiday cheer. And who knows, maybe their Christmas album will become a new tradition for metalheads everywhere.

So this Christmas, put on your favorite Slipknot shirt, pour yourself a cup of eggnog (mixed with Clown’s No.9 Rye Whiskey), and rock out to “A Merry Maggot Christmas.” It’s sure to be the most metal holiday season yet.
So get ready to mosh around the Christmas tree this year when the new Slipknot Christmas album releases. The album is set to be released on December 25, and will be available on all major music platforms.

More Metal Christmas Albums
System of a Down released a Christmas album in 2020 titled “Jingle Bombs“. The album went on to go 5x platinum, so it is no surprise that Slipknot and other bands would follow their lead and release a Christmas album.
Here’s the thing though; System of a Down reunited for a Christmas album in full irony. The album was very satirical in nature and full of political messages and lyrics.
However, the masses have ignored the band’s message.
