The clocks might have jumped forward to signal the start of British Summer Time here in the UK, but right now our eyes are keenly fixed on October. This week's announcement that the 2023 edition of Power Trip festival will feature headliners Guns N' Roses, Tool and Iron Maiden alongside AC/DC potentially playing their first show with Brian Johnson in almost a decade and a not-so-retired Ozzy Osbourne has us wishing the days away.
But of course, that'd just be silly: then we'd miss out on months of brilliant new music! Case in point, last week's vote saw some hefty competition amongst some of metal's brightest names. As we've come to expect, Babymetal took home the gold (that band's fanbase mobilise faster and harder than some countries' militaries), but it was a very welcome surprise to see Ukrainian prog metal merchants Ignea take a very healthy second place, beating out unearthed Linkin Park rarity Fighting Myself with the epic Dunes.
