Author's Response:
I'm offended.
It's the Carol of the Bells and I added a rock/metal element to it.
I did not know of TSO when I made this.
I understand that it sounds a lot alike, even I notice that, and was amazed at how close they are.
But by your logic, TSO "did plagiarism".
And any band that does any cover of a song adding their own element to it, would have "stealed" it.
Sorry if I didn't cite my sources and footnote my music. I never claimed that Carol of the Bells was my own creation, only the way I conveyed the original song.
