You may already know ex-Slayer, current Testament drummer Dave Lombardo as one of the baddest motherfuckers to ever sit behind a kit, but did you know he’s also a songwriter capable of writing sexy holiday tunes with his wife Paula Lombardo? Well, now you do.
See Also:Released earlier today on the drummer’s YouTube page, the couple shared their collaborative work titled “The Gift.” Spanning a brisk three minutes and 15 seconds, the song is a soft, dark, and moody track that oozes “hey baby, it’s cold out there so let’s warm things up.” If that makes any sense.
See Also:Featuring a breathy vocal performance by Paula and presumably the rest of the music done by Dave, it may not replace “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” but it could be a great little wind down song in front of the fire with your beau. It’s also a great reminder that many of the men and women behind some of the heaviest music around can make hauntingly beautiful arrangements that continue to make you feel something.
