Metal Awards!

Blitzkrieg

Master Exploder
My post in the election thread about the shitty MTV awards the other night reminded me of something I was thinking the other day. Because metal is overlooked by pretty much every other awards shows, and there is so much metal out there, someone should start a metal awards night. That would rock. There is enough subgenres and releases every year for it to work, and you could also have the obvious broad ones such as "best album" and "best single" and "best video" etc. I guess the only problem would be finding a group of "industry experts" or similar to actually make the winning decisions, and no one would really be happy with it. Oh well.
 
:lol:

So far my contenders for album of the year are Edguy - Hellfire Club and Cradle Of Filth - Nymphetamine, with Megadeth - The System Has Failed and Blaze - Blood And Belief close behind. I'm still yet to hear new Bloodbath, Shadows Fall, and a few others I am interested in. Also looking forward to new Kreator and Dungeon and a few others.
 
I cant see anybody beating Susperias new one for album of the year.

Kreators new one comes out January 31st 2005 Blitzy, I cant wait for it either though :headbang:

quoted for emphasis.

Although, Stripper Girl just ahead of Fat Girl :D
 
Yeah both are VERY close contenders, it could go either way really! The nominees for that category were:

Metal Shop - Big Boobs
Metal Shop - Hell's On Fire
Metal Shop - Fat Girl
Metal Shop - Stripper Girl
Metal Shop - Metal Shop

Tough competition there but Fat Girl just came through I think, enabling Metal Shop to take out the award!
