July is over! Well, almost, at least. With the summer holidays now well and truly underway and plenty of festivals still to come in the US, UK and across Europe, it feels like we're hitting one of the most fun parts of the year. But while some of us might be jetting off on summer holidays, the gears of the music world are fast at work, with brilliant new tracks for us all to enjoy.
That in mind, here are the results of last week's vote! There was a hefty bunch to select from last week with 15 tracks in the running, but ultimately only three bands could take the podium. Masked black metal entities Gaerea took a healthy third place with Hope Shatters, while Epica's Simone Simons lived up to her status as a symphonic metal icon by taking second. But the overall champions were Finnish symphonic death metallers Assemble The Chariots, Departure beating the competition by a good distance.
