🎄💥 Just when you thought the holiday season couldn’t get any louder, messier or more unhinged… PSYCHOPUNCH are back with a standalone Christmas single and video - their own raw, reckless and gloriously twisted take on Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).

Recorded and released in true Psychopunch style - last minute, unpolished and fueled by pure panic - this festive disaster is everything a punk’n’roll Christmas anthem should not be… and exactly what fans expect.
Fast, dirty, dripping with sarcasm and barely contained chaos, the band rip the song apart and rebuild it with distortion, attitude and zero seasonal comfort. 🔥🖤

The band comment:
“It’s raw, it’s rushed, unpolished and it probably sounds like we recorded it in a damp bomb shelter (actually we did)… but hey - it’s got spirit! The spirit of panic and poor time management!”

Paired with an equally irreverent official video, Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) captures PSYCHOPUNCH at their most spontaneous and unapologetic - a no-rules holiday release made purely for fun, noise and survival instinct. 🎥⚡

A loud, sarcastic and gloriously inappropriate holiday greeting from one of Scandinavia’s most uncompromising punk’n’roll institutions.

So crank it up, spill your eggnog, and if you hear jingle bells…
…it’s either Santa - or the neighbors calling the cops. 🚨🎅

🖤 MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU FILTHY ANIMALS. 🖤

⚡ German progressive power metal force ASSIGNMENT erupt into a new era with their upcoming studio album With The End Comes Silence, out February 6th, 2026 via Massacre Records.
Available as Digipak CD and limited double vinyl LP. 🔥💿

To open this dark cinematic chapter, the band unleash the first single Fallen - the album’s powerful and urgent opening track, accompanied by a gripping lyric video. 🎥⚡

🗣 Guitarist Goran Panić shares:
“In our view the song had all credentials for being the opener of the album, as it perfectly sets the pace and the general of what follows. The song handles one of our main concerns, one we regularly like to make clear. Something is wrong in the world today.”

Fallen dives headfirst into themes of societal decay, disillusionment, and the unsettling shift of the world into darker territory. Musically it blends expressive vocals, sharp dynamic changes, atmospheric arrangements, and emotional tension - the perfect overture to the album’s narrative arc. 🌑🔥
