Is it just us, or is Christmas coming early this year? And we don't mean in the "ooh, look at the goodies we've got" (though we'll get to those), but it feels like we'd not even had Halloween when Christmas lights started going up around us. Bah, humbug.
Still, best not to linger amidst the onset of winter. Here are the results of last week's vote! The noisy hardcore of Ronker clawed its way to third place, while NWOBHM revivalists Tailgunner took a very respectable second. But once again taking the crown - and by some margin - were German industrial-goths Lord Of The Lost, adding another victory to their tally.
