Nightwish - Sweden??? I guess is for Annette...
Death Metal... I prefer Vomitory
Dark Tranquillity - Alternative?? well, freedom is the word.
Anyway I'm not swedish and 2007 was a little quiet for metal in sweden, It was better 2006 IMO.

Heh, you can't expect REAL death metal to win anything official. And Sonic Syndicate best newcomers? We're doomed.

Pain - metal category, Dark Tranquillity - alternartive metal...

maybe it was their mistake writing

haha great results sonic syndicate for best newcomers... looking forward to future

Some choice are good other arent good:nono:

Where is BLACK METAL?:nogood:

Best Foreign Hard-rock Category: Europe

EXFUCKINGCUSE ME?

a bit weird

Im confused of best alternative and foreign hard rock

I'm ashamed of my contrymen.

wtf with this awards o.o?????????

Dark Tranquillity is alternative metal?? WTF!!! Since when???
Hell yeah bitches! Sonic Syndicate awarded!

Overated only WASP are good, DT too but wrong category

So, Arch Enemy is Death and Dark Tranquillity is Alternative? I guess they REALLY wanted to award both somehow
Europe is a Foreign Hard-rock act? Aren't they from Sweden?
Yay for Hardcore Superstar making it! Their new album really deserves more recognition.

Okay I'm really confused for some awardings, some of them are in the wrong cathegory and some just.. Seriously WTF

Alternative Metal Category: Dark Tranquillity - Fiction
Alternative MeloDeath/Gothenburg, Maybe

They won it for best FOREIGN Hard Rock album

LOL Dark Tranquility is about as far as you get from Alternative Metal. Maybe all the Swedish Metalheads were drunk or something?

Even worse

What happened to this country, they are the land of Dark Tranquillity, Dissection, Therion, Dismember, Bathory and many other seminal band, I thought those people would know a lot about metal since they are the second country in the world with most metal bands.

Well, third... Bottom post here. Can't really blame them, selken, I mean it has always been an underground genre... you can't expect the average Californian musician these days to know about 80s thrash metal

"don't take this post too seriously though."

they NEED a Gothenburg/melodeath category! alternative metal just won't do..

by the way what the hell is alternative metal anyway?

Its good to see both Crashdiet and Hardcore Superstar win, but in all fairness they should've been put in the same category.

if not the second, one of the largest, it ranks two here in MS, in MA and Metal Kingdom, I know that these stats are not 100% accurate but three sites could not be so wrong...

Best Live Act Category: Europe

haha! woo!

Nightwish is Hard Rock? DT is alternative?
Therion not mentioned of course...
And Sonic Syndicate had their debute album released in 2006?

I hate awards and I hate my country

DT = Alternative ? No don't think so! But good that they won a price for that masterpiece! Also great that Sonic Syndicate won a award too.
