9th Annual Metal Storm Awards Open For Voting

ZomgzomgZOMGwtfbbq!?!?11!

It's February 1st, which means it's the moment you've all been waiting for? The 9th Annual Metal Storm Awards are upon us. We've done a lot of work in setting this whole thing up and now it's your turn to bust your voting nut 30 seconds in to the month then spend the next 28 days whining because we didn't include your favorite album or put it under the wrong genre.

Seriously though, take your time and check out our nominees. We've got LOTS of first timers that made the cut and are worth taking a listen to before casting your vote. And for any questions regarding what category a band belongs in please ask HERE.

Enjoy.

I always thought that Enslaved plays black metal at the first place But... ...can we expect any wisdom and reliability from webpage, who 2 years ago pastet Septic Flesh into symphonic metal category? I disagree with you. Septicflesh clearly belonged in the symphonic metal category for that album as does Enslaved in prog this year. It is not about whether you think the band plays a specific genre, it's about the album itself. Bands tend to mix-up genres a lot too, so sometimes it can go either way. Because of this mixes between different genres sometimes I have many doubts, where should I put the artist or album. That's it. Btw. I don't think, that it' s good idea to paste some band to completely different category only because on one album they are playing something different. Loading...

The band is nominated for just that album not for the other stuff they have released. If that were the case Tiamat should go in death metal, same for Sentenced. With nominations we just judge the album that was released that year. ---- Member of the true crusade against European Flower Metal Yesterday is dead and gone, tomorrow is out of sight Dawn Crosby (r.i.p.) 05.04.1963 - 15.12.1996 Loading...

It was a seriously good album!
