MEGADETH got into the seasonal spirit during an appearance on US TV host Jimmy Kimmel’s show earlier this week.

Dave Mustaine and co. were there to promote current album Super Collider – but they took time out to shoot a comedy advert for an imaginary Christmas album titled Thrashing Through The Snow.

Singer Jenny Lewis and a group of children got in on the act as MEGADETH dirtied up Frosty The Snowman, The Little Drummer Boy, Do You Hear What I Hear and Baby It’s Cold Outside.

And their Christmas message to fans was: “These are the carols we grew up loving, and you’ll love them too – or Santa will kick you in the throat.”

The band also found time to perform their Super Collider track Kingmaker – without woolly jumpers.
