For all those who said this has become superfluous, to you I say, ha, and also, ha. The August 2017 class for the UM HoF is unequivocal in its exemplary-ism of great heavy metal, some crossover thrash, some trad, some NWOBHM, some death, all kickass. Some long overdue recognitions of many of metal's finest talents, and I'm proud to say we did it again:

God Bless Heavy Metal,
We crash o'er the waves
Bite deep on the oars
Scouring the spray
On the storm's maul
Then lightning reveals
For what we all pray
By Odin in Asgard
It's land fall
Life from death
Combat rests
Heralds peace for the slain
Valhalla - you are calling
Valhalla - you are calling me home
Valhalla - new day dawning
Valhalla - this is where I belong - I belong
