In my opinion, no festive party is complete without a smattering of hellish-looking Christmas jumpers to get people talking. And let's forget about the Rudolph-themed knits with his big pop-pom nose, or pullovers with Santa laughing merrily on his sleigh. What I'm talking about are those rock and metal-themed jumpers that'll cause consternation at the office party or at family get-togethers.

While picking out a bunch of Black Friday music deals, I found myself going down the rabbit hole when it came to the type of Christmas jumper that are most definitely an acquired taste - and I've included a wardrobe full of my favourites below - all of which are on discount for Black Friday at EMP.

And if you're after more distinctive Christmas jumpers, Amazon and Hot Topic have piles to sift through too. Good luck!
