On reflection, we might've been a bit hasty calling for the end of summer. After an especially wet and muddy Wacken Open Air 2025, and with more festivals like Bloodstock, ArcTanGent and Reading/Leeds still to come, we're thinking we don't mind too much if the sun sticks around just a little while longer.
But anyway, onwards with the results of last week's vote! German power metallers Primal Fear took an admirable third place position, but were themselves beaten by heavy metal legends Spinal Tap and their all-new rendition of Stonehenge, featuring Elton John. But the overall winners - by some way - were rising melodeath heroes Orbit Culture, whose Hydra proved an unkillable beast. Top notch.
