**Waste/Dawn** is a solo doom/prog project that was formed in 2022\. The metal act just released their brutal version of the classic holiday hit *All I Want for Christmas Is You* on December 1st. 

Waste/Dawn's version has a slightly shortened name, *All I Want for Christmas...* and that is only the beginning of the differences throughout the re-imagined track. Ominous guitar ambience introduces a haunting singing as lyrics are rewritten with a much darker intent than the original track. 

> '"All I Want for Christmas..." is a song about decay, disillusionment, and the desperate request to let the entire festive facade just end. It replaces the pop idol's longing for love with an agonizing demand for reality." - *Waste/Dawn*

The song builds in energy as distant guitar dissonance and booming bass lines suddenly make way for full band destruction. Drop-tuned guitar riffage, slamming drum beats, and background ambience create an overall twisted and brutal soundscape as the song's original pop melodies stand out in stark contrast. After fully-fledged metal intensity, chilling piano melodies lead back into explosive action as screaming is introduced for the first time in the track.

Clocking in at just over 5 minutes, Waste/Dawn's *All I Want for Christmas...* is a brutal and eerie reimagination of a Christmas classic that fans of metal will certainly enjoy. With great production and an animated video featuring the likeness of Mariah Carey wearing a deer skull, *All I Want for Christmass...* successfully creates a dark and extreme atmosphere that provides a new commentary with altered lyrics. 

You can stream *All I Want for Christmas*... and watch the official Lyric videe below.
