East Coast metal supergroup Caricature are celebrating Christmas in style, having dropped a frenetic and ethereal cover of Type O Negative's "Red Water (Christmas Mourning)", taken from the Type O's iconic 1996 album October Rust.

Check out the official visualizer for the track below:

Comprised of studio and touring members of various metal acts like Six Feet Under, Periphery, Cannabis Corpse, Jeff Loomis, and SEVEN)SUNS, among others like Vitamin String Quartet, Devin Townsend Band, etc., Caricature's long-awaited return brings serious firepower.

Main man Joseph Spiller says of the song:

"Peter Steele is impossible to duplicate or even come close to. He had such a distinct feel for timing and tone that was all his own that we didn't even try to replicate it," writes Caricature mastermind Joseph Spiller.

"Type O Negative always put their own spin on any song they covered, and it only felt right to do the same with this. I listened to this song on repeat as a kid. Having a Christmas song that wasn't happy was oddly comforting while being in a similar situation as the lyrics (minus the booze). I truly hope we did Peter, Kenny, Josh, and Johnny right with this.

"Their music has been everything for me for so long and I was even lucky enough to spend a small amount of time with Peter as a kid and doing music stuff years ago. He was an incredibly kind man and not at all scary like young me expected. 'You're a weird kid, huh? It's okay, I was a weird kid, too' was a small joke/friendly rib he sent to me after I gave him a flower. Being young, living in isolated rural Maine… that meant the world and made me feel a bit of hope. Years later, he remembered me and called me a weirdo again."

"Red Water (Christmas Mourning) comes as a follow-up to the band's surprise return single "Smile Harder", which features drum wizard Anup Sastry and Earl Maneein's SEVEN)SUNS, the latter of whom recorded with The Dillinger Escape Plan and co-wrote WWE wrestler Shinsuke Nakamura's theme song. Shredder Ray Suhy (Six Feet Under, ex-Cannabis Corpse) joins Spiller on guitar.
