Metal Hammer awards

Future Publishing's Metal Hammer held its second Golden Gods Awards in London, with The Darkness, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer and Nikki Sixx among the winners.

Another round of awards on Monday night - this time for those who rock. Future Publishing's Metal Hammer held their second Golden Gods Awards in London, and among the winners were The Darkness (Best Video for 'Love is Only a Feeling'), Iron Maiden (Best UK Act), Metallica (Best International Act), Slayer (Best Live Act) and Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx (who took the Spirit of Hammer Award).

The Best Breakthrough gong went to Funeral For A Friend, who seemed very excited with the award. Lead vocalist Matt told reporters: "The award is the most metal thing you've ever seen. It's a skull head with a rather sexy looking cloak, a snake on the bottom and the metal sign in a bony hand. It's going to go on somebody's mantelpiece, but not our own! He's a very metal looking statue and he's very metal - that's all you need to know."

The awards show was filmed by ITV and will be aired later this week.
