Just when it was looking like the remainder of the summer festival calendar was going to be a total washout, the sun has returned! A little, anyway, but it'll do as we prepare for the last few summer events of the year and fix our eyes on the many (many!) upcoming releases that will be with us from September onwards, singles aplenty keeping us awash in brilliant new music.
Speaking of, the results of last week's vote! It was a diverse selection of styles on offer last week, but it looks like the tried and true favourites of thrash, groove and trad metal won the day. New York heroes Prong took a very admirable third place below the Metal Queen Doro, but it was Brazilian thrashers Nervosa who took the crown, beating out all competition with the fast and furious Seed Of Death.
