DAWN OF REVENGE Twist Christmas Into Carnage With ‘All I Want For Christmas Is Your Pain’


Southwest Germany’s metalcore bruisers DAWN OF REVENGE return with a holiday offering dipped in distortion, menace, and tongue-in-cheek brutality. Their new single, “All I Want For Christmas Is Your Pain,” twists the season of cheer into something far darker, injecting slamming heaviness into a genre traditionally reserved for jingles and joy. It’s the band’s most chaotic seasonal outburst yet — equal parts ferocity, fun, and festive devastation.

The music video matches the track’s twisted spirit with a blend of high-energy performance shots and narrative chaos. While the band erupts, an unhinged, malevolent Santa stalks the snow-covered world outside, leaving a trail of carnage that escalates into full-blown murder by the finale. The result is part horror parody, part holiday mayhem — a cinematic wink that turns Christmas tropes on their head without ever losing the grit and aggression DAWN OF REVENGE are known for.

Sonically, the band go all-in. Razor-edged metalcore riffs collide with breakdowns, and theres is a touch of slam guttural vocals that tear through candy-cane sweetness, and the rhythm section hits like a blizzard made of cinder blocks. “All I Want For Christmas Is Your Pain” captures the thrill of extreme music while embracing a seasonal absurdity that fans of both heavy and humorous metal will latch onto instantly.

With this release, DAWN OF REVENGE prove that the holidays don’t always require warmth — sometimes chaos is enough. Their warped take on Christmas stands bold and unapologetic, delivering a fierce anthem designed to shatter the delicate calm of the season and cement the band as one of Germany’s most entertainingly savage modern metalcore acts.
