Metal's in the charts again! It's been a dry spell this decade so far as US metal chart-toppers goes, at least until Ghost broke the spell this week and now it looks like Sleep Token might be following them as they nab a no. 1 at home in the UK and look to be set for the same in the US. It spells massive things for metal's mainstream prospects, and gives plenty to fight for when it comes to new releases.
Speaking of which, here are the results of last week's vote! There was a resurgence of metalcore heavyweights last week as Parkway Drive, Attack Attack! and Of Mice & Men all came through with new music, but it was other genres that stole the podium. Power metallers Battle Beast came in third with the triumphant Last Goodbye, while Orbit Culture proved they are still one of metal's most exciting new bands with The Tales Of War. It was newcomer punks Fantazmaz who took top spot however, stealing the crown with Distortion.
