Is it just us, or is it getting busy? It's well and truly sprinting into the most frantic times of the year now as festival season gets underway and new releases come thick and fast, but thankfully we're here to cut through the chatter and pick out some of the finest new sounds around.
That in mind, here are the results of last week's vote! As our weekly poll often proves, big names don't always necessitate big results and even in a week with a returning Loathe, Turnstile and Primus, the podium offered up some suprises. Finishing in third was the welcome return from Shadows Fall, while France's own metalcore maniacs Rise Of The Northstar took second place. But the crown went to newcomers Part Of The Theory, whose debut single Famished Mammon astounded with some incredible mixes of prog metal, symphonic elements and even Balkan folk.
