 Roxx Records Artists: A Christmas That Roxx Vol IV (Roxx Records) Release date: 14 November 2025 A Christmas That Roxx Volume IV our latest Holiday exclusive compilation. We want to take a minute to thank everyone for their continued support, and to also wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year (We all could use it) We wish you well! This year’s compilation is a little extra special as we had many artists contribute and record new music, and even had some allow us to use some classic Christmas tracks from years gone by! Leading off this year’s sampler is a very special track never released officially, but it was originally aired as part of a Christmas special on the BBC back in 1989 and featured the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The track is entitled “Midnight Sleigh Ride” and features Luis Cardenas as he enters the Guiness Book of World Records for the Worlds Largest Drum Kit in 1986. What a way to kick off this year’s CD, you can also see the performance over on our YouTube channel. Up next we keep with the Luis Cardenas theme for the next 3 previously unreleased tracks from Crimson Hope, which would later morph into Latter Reign which features Luis Cardenas and Brad Smith. From there we head over to legendary Christian rock and rap pioneer XL. Up first we have a brand new track entitled “The Not So Funky Christmas” from The Syke/XL Experiment, which also features another Christian rock pioneer in Syke Mochek of the legendary Slamcat. Then we have a previously released but long out of print track from XL entitled “It’s Christmas Time”. Next three tracks we delve in to some killer bands setting the Christian Prog Rock world on fire with brand new tracks from Echoverse, Damascus and Undoubting Thomas. We’re about half way there, 9 tracks in and still got a lot of killer tunes coming! Next we feature some killer rockin’ tunes from Modest Attraction (featuring Christian Liljegren) with their classic Christmas tune “Modest Christmas”. Then we keep it going with a brand new track from Not Of This World featuring Dale Thompson (Bride) out front and then over to a very cool special holiday mix of the new Reign of Glory track “Holy’ Holy, Holy” with the special “Christmas Roxx Mixx”. Next we head over to a brand new killer track from the multi talented Seth Metoyer who released a killer new solo album this year entitled “Through The Vanishing Point” this new Christmas track would fit well along side that new solo album musically. The next 3 tracks are from some of our key artists on Roxx Records and NoLifeTilMetal Records, who all three graciously gave us new Christmas tunes this year. The multi talented instrumentalist Kevin Pike, the wonderful Puddleglum who made their debut a couple years back on Roxx Records with their Wilco/Tom Petty vibe. Then we take you to the heaviest of tracks on this years release from Severed Angel. Then to round out the disc we have everyone’s favorite Grinch, er I mean Graverobber, lol Wretched takes us home with the classic “Merry Xmas Everybody”.
