Curated By Caine Blackthorn
Welcome to the Metalhead Christmas Gift Guide. The only holiday list where “Does this summon anything?” is a valid shopping question.
If you’re shopping for a metalhead, bless your soul. These are the people who think wrapping paper is optional, blast blast-beats at 7 a.m., and believe every room could benefit from “just one more skull.” They don’t want socks (unless they’re Slayer), they don’t want candles (unless they smell like hellfire), and they definitely don’t want anything “normal.”
Metalheads are built different. They want noise. They want chaos. They want gifts that make the in-laws nervous.
So I dug through the depths. Etsy, hell, maybe even the abyss, to find the loudest, weirdest, coolest metal gifts the holiday season has to offer. From ornaments to gear that technically counts as “home décor,” it’s all here.
Grab your coffee, your spiked eggnog, or your sacrificial cocoa and let’s shop.
