Ladies and djentlemen, it's that time of year again - the Metal Storm Awards 2015 are open for business.

The voters are about to swarm like gundarks, so be prepared to withstand the onslaught of chatter and indiscriminate, early bird vote-lobbing that will soon unfold.

We've got an impressive array of nominees, as usual, so don't be afraid to consider the other candidates before purposefully striding right past them and voting for your favorite band anyway.

Click here for the best that Metal had to offer us in 2015. As always, feel free to discuss below how much you love us and agree with our decisions (or not).

Team MS.
