Christmas time is here again – the time of good will to all men, peace on Earth and of course, gut-wrenchingly heavy extreme metal! Over the course of the festive period Rottweiler Records will be unleashing six celebratory singles from six of the heaviest, most diverse bands around – including three brand new additions to the Rottweiler roster. So, here are the brutal and beautiful delights you have in store this Christmas…
On November 29th Mangled Carpenter delivered an absolutely crushing take on traditional carol ‘I Saw Three Ships’ – the song transformed into a pummelling display of huge riffs and deadly drumming. This dual release in conjunction with Broken Curfew Records is simply devastating!

Another dual release with Broken Curfew Records is due to land on December 6th, as extreme death/grind outfit Pulpit Vomit obliterate ‘Jingle, Jingle, Jingle’ with reckless abandon. It’s dangerous, damaging and a whole lot of fun!

In December 13th Rottweiler introduce us to the first of their new signings – Exoneration! This international force blend deathcore, metalcore and modern metal into an explosive cocktail that you’ll be able to experience in full when their debut album lands in 2025. Before that there’s their superb Christmas double hit of ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/Mary Did You Know’ to whet the appetite.

The ‘merry gentlemen’ aren’t getting much rest this Christmas as on December 20th another new Rottweiler signing, The Final Witness, present their interpretation of the carol which dates back to the 1650s. ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Freedom From Satan) is an enthralling piece of progressive death metal – ambitious and adventurous in its approach.

On Christmas Eve we have the third new signing to Rottweiler Records as Ignite The Gods serve up their sumptuous take on ‘Mary Did You Know’ – epic, aggressive, symphonic and downright magnificent.

Finally, on Christmas Day itself, long standing Mid West metal band I Am The Pendragon present an emotive, progressive, heavy and melodic treat, with ‘Holy Mystery – Revised Edition’.
