To paraphrase much-perforated horror icon pinhead, "what delights we have to show you" this week... The Grammy's might have taken the headlines with Gojira nabbing a win for their epic performance at the Olympics last year and we might be selling off our belongings for a certain gig this summer, but we've got an absolute bounty of bizarre tunes for you to explore in our weekly best new metal songs round-up.
First, the results of last week's vote! We'd set our sights on global exploration last week with new songs from Japan, India, Ukraine and beyond. Japan's Hanabie narrowly beat out Ukrainian metal sensation Jinjer for the third spot on the podium, but were themselves left behind by fellow Japanese group Deviloof. The overall winner however - and longstanding kings of trad metal - were Saxon, whose latest single 1066 rallied the troops to victory (which is more than can be said for the Anglo Saxons themselves that year).
