Was everyone just asleep through the summer? September has officially arrived, and with it seemingly an unending procession of announcements; tours, albums, songs... take your pick! Of course, undoubtedly the biggest this week is the return of Linkin Park, the band not only returning to the stage in Los Angeles but announcing a new album and single.
But, we're getting ahead of ourselves. First, the results of last week's vote! Four bands emerged head and shoulders above the rest, but ultimately only three could take podium positions for the finish. Japanese newcomers Hanabie beat out Gojira to take an admirable third place, leaving dwarf metal heroes Windrose and Charlotte Wessels to duke it out for top. The symphonic siren ultimately emerged victorious however, her solo career continuing to thrive on latest single The Crying Room.
