I do like heavy metal, but as to the bands nominated here I am only really familiar with BMTH, Enter Shikari and Rammstein. Of course I know Slipknot and Babymetal are famous but I couldn't recall any of their songs.

Sadly Celldweller aren't nominated, the metal band whose song I sent to BJSC this month.

Best Live Band:
Brutus

I sent the live version of 'War' to the last Nuggets, so I'd approve of them winning!

Tough choice between Metal Galaxy and Fear Inoculum for best of those albums but I did enjoy the former slightly more.
