Hail Santa has remained one of heavy metal's best-kept Seattle secrets, an annual yuletide celebration of the devil's rock and roll, preferably of the black-thrash variety, performed in front of gory clips from holiday-themed horror films. This year, the celebrations are spread over two evenings and feature a pair of bar-raising headliners. Headlining Friday is Uada, with support from Drawn And Quartered, Xoth, and ÆNIGMATUM. On Saturday, it will be Skelator with support by Solicitor, Ghost Blood, and Toxic Reign. by Joseph Schafer
