I've written quite a few Christmas songs, although I've only released two through my other music projects. When I started collaborating with Odin's Roar, I thought, why the hell not give the Vikings their own ridiculous Christmas adventure?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all, Santa comes from the North Pole and the Vikings came from Scandinavia, so they're practically neighbours. Well, close enough for my warped imagination anyway! PMSL!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's when I decided to throw Santa, Rudolf, a bunch of hopeless elves and a few Norse gods together and see what sort of Christmas disaster I could create. Naturally, I had to include some questionable navigation systems, both modern and not so modern. Who needs GPS when you've got Odin's ravens, a glowing reindeer nose and a map that turns out to be wrapping paper?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrow in Thor, Loki, a few hungry elves and a sleigh full of confusion, and you've got \"Ho Ho Vikings.\" A completely ridiculous Christmas adventure where nobody knows where the bloody hell they're going, but they're all determined to get there anyway!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Music and Vibe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wanted this one to be a proper high-energy Viking metal-rock Christmas comedy, not another sweet little festive tune. Heavy distorted guitars, pounding double-kick drums, powerful chanting, theatrical character vocals and a big, catchy chorus built around \"Ho, ho, haul!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea was to make it sound like an epic Viking army charging into battle, except instead of conquering kingdoms, they're delivering Christmas presents and arguing over directions. It's loud, ridiculous, festive and deliberately over the top. This is a \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid \u003c\/strong\u003eproduction with real studio musicians combined with digital compositions.
