Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider is recording a Christmas song with Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish).

Snider shared the news on the Behind The Vinyl podcast, stating: "I'm recording a holiday Christmas song with Tarja. Tarja and I are working on a Christmas song for this holiday season actually. I wrote this song for my wife many years ago that... You guys may or may not know that Celine Dion recorded a Christmas song I wrote ("God Bless Us Everyone"). I wrote it as a gift for my wife, I never wrote it for commercial purposes. And I can't... it's just out of my range to sing it. But long story short, I decided to do my own rendition of it, and I asked Tarja to sing it as a duet with me, 'cause it's got some really high parts in it. So Jeff Pilson from Dokken and Foreigner, he's producing it. And we're just finishing the tracks right now, so we're gonna start doing the vocals. That'll come out later this year."

Snider recently released For The Love Of Metal Live, a larger than life live album and DVD/Blu-Ray set, via Napalm Records.
