Twisted Sister Return With A New Studio Album

(Twisted Sister Official Website) -- Twisted Sister return with a new studio album .... With a difference. In between a gruelling touring schedule, where they have headlined at most of the world's biggest festivals, they have managed to find enough time to record an album, in time for Christmas ... so what else would you expect? Of course, an album of Christmas songs, done in the inimitable Twisted Sister style. Much loved songs like "Oh Come All You Faithful" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" have been given the Twisted makeover, and they have been joined for a couple of songs by old friends ... Lita Ford duets on "I'll Be Home For Christmas" and Doro Pesch lends her vocal talents to a great version of "White Christmas". But probably the highlight of the album has to be the re lyriced 12 Days of Christmas, entitled "Heavy Metal Christmas" ... 'on the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me ... a tattoo of ozzy'

Twisted Sister reformed in 2001, after working together on a number of projects such as recording a song for the Strangeland soundtrack (the film written, directed and starring Dee Snider) and the unusual step of recording an ACDC cover for a Twisted Sister tribute album! In 2001, they performed at a benefit gig for the NYPD and FDNY Widows and orphans fund (after September 11th) and a number of shows for the US military. It wasn't until 2003, when Mark Mendoza rejoined the band, reuniting the classic lineup, and a storming headline performance at the Sweden Rock Festival, that the world realised what a live force Twisted Sister still were!

The band went on to re record their 'Stay Hungry' album, stating that they were unhappy with the original production, and released it in 2004 as "Still Hungry'. But these were not the only recording duties that the band members undertook. In addition to the new Twisted Christmas album, Jay Jay French and Dee Snider worked with Eurovision winners Lordi to produce and play on a few tracks on their 'Arockalypse'

A Twisted Christmas is released by Demolition Records on November 22nd.
