The nominations for the fourth annual Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards are out - filled to the brim with those hugely popular metal bands that half of you will have never have heard of (we're completely on top of our metal here at CMU, we'd not only heard of all of them, but we knew how to spell most of them too).
The full list of nominations is at the bottom of today's Daily, but well done to Roadrunner Records who have 14 nominations in total, and also to hard rocking Warner Music who have artists up for 11 awards. Who'd have thought it - from the people that brought you James Blunt? The awards take place on 12 Jun at KoKo in Camden.
The press release says something about there being a Viking longboat involved in these awards somehow. Whether that means there'll be any raping and pillaging going on at the awards themselves, I can't quite make out.
