This week's show is our ninth (!) holiday hellshow! We began the show with a mix of songs to ring in the holiday spirit and decking your halls. We paid a visit to Grýla and the Yule Cat in the second block. We played some icy ambient and experimental tracks, in honor of Winter Solstice, in the third block. We embraced the dark and twisted side of the holidays in the fourth block. We played a set of Krampus carols in the fifth block. Then we wrapped up the show and put a pretty little bow in it in the sixth and final block.

We hope you have a good holiday season, whether you celebrated Winter Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa—or a nice Thursday if you don't do any of those.
