And just like that, we're into March. Hard as it is to believe that we're already three months into the year, we'll make do when it also means we've got a new Bruce Dickinson album to sink our teeth into, not to mention Judas Priest's Rob Halford cuddling kittens on the cover of the latest issue of Metal Hammer!
Of course, there's also the small matter of all the brilliant new music to discover, and as ever we've hunted high and low to find you some of the most exciting sounds around. But first, the results of last week's vote! Priest took an admirable third place in last week's ranking with the frenzied The Serpent And The King, falling behind Apocalyptica's return to classical renditions of Metallica with their version of The Four Horsemen. Both paled in comparison to newcomer Andry however, who took top spot comfortably with her excellent solo debut Skies.
