August Burns Red - Carol Of The Bells {Pianist Reacts} (Merry Christmas!)

[@LinkenCV]

"Carol of the Bells" contains elements of magic and spookiness. In fact, Leontovych's songs absorbed the heaviness of life in 19th-early 20th century for Ukrainians. Here's another examples of his work: "Dudaryk," "Hra v Zaichyka" (Playing Rabbit), "Smert" (Death). And this metal version is too cheerful.

[@stephanie.r382]

I loved that !! A very Happy Christmas to you both and wishing you an amazing New Year ❤

[@majormogli3772]

Merry Christmas from Germany! Keep on going with your Reactions... I love it! 😁👍

[@yankeedude252]

ABR is awesome, and Christmas Burns Red is incredible every year. I've driven up to Lancaster all the way from Tennessee the past four years, with those shows making up 6 of the 10 times I've seen ABR live (CBR is usually two different nights where ABR plays both nights). Great choice, and one of the better bands to take a deep dive into.

[@DoylePTB]

I'll join the rest of the commenters in thanking you for all of the great entertainment this year. You've made my dog walks far more tolerable!

[@theugliestmonster]

This is the only Christmas album worth listening to by a wide margin

[@Moonchilddbk]

[@krisanderson1492]

[@Owenator26]

The only thing I really look forward too is the time off work after Christmas Day to just chill and hang with friends and have some downtime before getting back to work that's what I really like about the holidays but the lead up to Christmas with the Xmas Eve then Xmas day afterwards BAH HUMBUG lol

[@michaelivanov6826]

it's almost a miracle to be one of the first 15 viewers :D

[@trowabarton222]

Man, if you have time you guys have to watch the Entheos - Carol of the Bells video. They crush it. Merry Christmas guys! Hope you and your families have a great one! edit: No shit! I have that same Thall shirt! Haha, I love it.

[@jumpman8282]

What is Christmas if not trying to push the worst sounds of commercialism and/or religion onto each other, thinking that it will make our species less hateful, all the while claiming it's the thought that matters? Fallacious Navidad, everybody!!

[@Greatmeasures]

Nice! ~j

[@Olivia_Neumann]

In my family, christmas is just an excuse to eat a whole lotta real unhealthy food only eaten this time of year in this particular part of the world, get time off work, and reunite with cousins. That’s our christmas spirit, we don’t make much of a fuss about giving presents. The world is capitalist enough the other 11 months of the year. However, the Thall shirt seems an appropriate method to attempt de-Scrooging Judson, good job.

[@Greatmeasures]

Don’t encourage him Olivia! We’re grateful for you..

[@tommyjcarpenter]

Love this album and listen to it every Xmas eve. But I think the little drummer boy is the best one on this album

[@michaelivanov6826]

thalltastick :D

[@MrGmonkeywillruleyou]

Check out the Vandals Christmas show

[@stipankovco7797]

Goddamn hes talking just like my ex from germany like i dont know about wars i dont care, merey chrismas tho

[@j3a2n]

I'm from Germany. I hate war. But my opinion is: it is 1000 times cheaper than a war with one of the 9 neighboring NATO countries. Cost of weapons for Ukraine per inhabitant: USA 160€, Holland 338€, Denmark 1140€. So many countries pay significantly more. Giving Ukraine to Russia would be a catastrophic signal.
