It's mid-October, but we've already had our first Christmas songs of the year. Good God. Still, despair not as even with the holidays apparently bearing down on us with all the hateful force of a collapsing building, there's still some brilliant new music to sink your teeth into before everyone packs up.
Which takes us to the results of last week's vote! There were strong turnouts for Black Label Society and Crystal Lake, but ultimately third place went to the return of Rob Zombie with Punks And Demons. But while he might once've been the king of Halloween, the vacant throne looks to have been snatched by Ice Nine Kills, who handily took second place with ease. But even they couldn't compare to the high-velocity heavy metal of Mexico's Jet Jaguar, who took the crown with Mach 10 - good on them!
