I have to agree with Kamuraki who said, when speaking about the song used in the Bells of Northrend (http://myndflame.gameriot.com/videos/The-Bells-of-Northrend), "Trans-Siberian Orchestra did the most AWESOME version of Carol of the Bells that will ever be done in the history of mankind. Maybe some alien race will do a better cover some day, but I doubt it."
"The Bells of Northrend" is Baka Savant's (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/11/21/wow-moviewatch-chronicle-of-the-annoying-quest-ep-30/) submission to A Very Northrend Christmas contest. It's a music video set to the sights of Northrend, obviously. The music playing is "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo" by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. (I've had the good fortune to see them in concert twice, and they do in fact rock.)
I think the Northrend imagery lines up incredibly well, which is probably a no-brainer given the winter weather. But the landscape of white-forests, vast stone architecture, and crystal landscapes works well with screaming guitars shredding their power chords. I mean, it is all very metal when you get down to it, and isn't that the point?
