Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, Children of ALL Ages… Christmas is a GO!

It almost didn’t happen. There was ALMOST no holiday track this year. Everything that could go wrong, DID go wrong, and yet here we are unveiling this years Christmas song! It’s a miracle… or at least it feels that way! The song is a traditional with a Cruxshadows flavor, and it’s here not a moment too soon; we all need a little Cruxshadows Christmas don’t we?

And so dear fans, friends, and supporters- on behalf of The Crüxshadows and all the people who are part of our organization, I am very proud, happy, relieved, and honored to present to you THE FIRST NOEL. I think it sounds GREAT… I really do! There were so many obstacles to overcome in putting this track together and at points I was ready to throw in the towel… but I didn’t. I’m tenacious, stubborn even, and that helps… but I also have a few people around me who believe in me when the chips are down, and their confidence can be the difference between success and failure.

The voices you will hear in the beginning of the song are those of the band members and many of our crew and support staff wishing you happy holidays.
I think it’s a pretty cool little touch… These people all help make CXS go in their own unique way, and I love that they could be included in THE FIRST NOEL. Anyway, I sincerely hope you LOVE this years track as much as I do. It wasn’t easy, but it’s here… And it feels EPIC!

So Christmas isn’t cancelled after all.

Keep in mind that none of our DECEMBER donation-ware songs are available in any streaming services this year, so you’ll need to download it and integrate it into your holiday mix manually.

Please download it from our website and feel free to pay whatever you think it’s worth. DON’T WORRY, if you are short on funds, then it’s yours for FREE… just be sure to spread the word if you like it. If you are feeling generous, we could really use your patronage. Music matters… And we appreciate your support. It helps keep Cruxshadows going.

Here’s the link to THE FIRST NOEL and all the rest of our Christmas songs from years past:

Please enjoy…

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Be well my friends…

Let us know what you think. Comments help more people see this post.
Thank you all…

Live Love Be Believe-

NEW Christmas Songs/Holiday Donation-ware Tracks – The Crüxshadows I wasn’t sure I was going to make it. I have honestly spent the last month or two struggling to get this year’s Christmas track completed. I worked on, and then scrapped several song ideas that just weren’t clicking for me. And then I decided to do something a little more traditional; I haven....

You thought it wasn’t going to happen… No Christmas song this year. You waited… December’s in full swing. And yet to your deep disappointment, you hear nothing but crickets…Has the tradition run its course? It is a sad state… no holiday cheer from Rogue n’ Company. It’s like that old claymation special from the 60’s: The Year Without a Santa Claus.

BUT LO, all is not lost, for I see off in the distance a figure rising from yonder horizon. The unmistakable spiky haired silhouette of the duotone wonder himself, barreling in this direction at a rapid clip, driving a sleigh pulled by eight tiny raccoons. And he’s shouting at the top of his lungs… Could it be? YES! He says: SOON a new Cruxshadows Christmas song will arrive, just in time to fill the season with the stuff that seasons require to be… you know, seasonal… and well seasoned and such!

Rejoice! Rejoice! You Heard it here folks…
