In both a sonic and thematic surprise, Pax Aeternum is thrilled to release "Rain on Xmas," the first-ever holiday song from STEPHEN BRODSKY (Cave In, Mutoid Man, Quicksand, Old Man Gloom). Roughly five minutes in length, "Rain on Xmas" features John-Robert Conners (also of Cave In) on drums and Matt Brodsky on sleigh bells with Stephen performing everything else. Nearly every minute introduces a new element, culminating in the big, triumphant sound of heartwarming rock fury by the end. The result is a musical journey that manages to capture the general charm of holiday music, but in a nuanced and stylized form far more familiar to people who enjoy listening to great musicians and songwriters year-round. "Rain on Xmas" release date: 12/12/23 across all digital platforms. For media, licensing, and other inquiries, please contact black@darkops.site Photo credit: Yvonne Jukes
