A Very Krampus Christmas, The Annihilators (self-issued)

Last year we got a punk-rock Christmas album from these guys, and they're back in 2022 with another thrashy helping of holiday goodness. This is more of a long EP, seven songs, with three covers, a reggae version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," and fast punked-out versions of  "Deck the Halls" and "Silver Bells." Their own tunes include a mid-tempo grinder about "Krampus," a thrashy protest against "Fruitcake," an almost pop-punk opener in "It's Christmas!," and "If You Show Me Yours, I'll Show You Mine," which is about presents, right? A short but solid collection, following on from last year's collection. You'll find it on Bandcamp.
