In addition to more than 30 years at the forefront of the heavy metal genre, the band Twisted Sister has also gained fame in recent years for its rocked-out versions of classic Christmas songs featured on the 2006 album A Twisted Christmas. In bringing the album to the concert stage, Twisted Sister—which is headed by frontman Dee Snider and well-known for songs like “We’re not Gonna Take It”—looked to 3D Design Chair Kevin O’Callaghan to design the set and stage. The concert spectacle, also titled A Twisted Christmas, features lights, costumes and the Twisted Sister versions of songs like “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” all staged in O’Callaghan’s vision of a heavy metal Santa’s Workshop. O’Callaghan’s contributions to the concert were recently featured on the examiner.com and BroadwayWorld.com.

A Twisted Christmas will be at the Las Vegas Hilton from December 15 – 17. View the promo video for a sample of last year’s show at NYC’s Nokia Theater:
