LORDI, SLAYER, TRIVIUM Honored At METAL HAMMER GOLDEN GODS Awards: Photos Available

June 13, 2006

World Entertainment News Network is reporting that surprise Eurovision champions LORDI have snatched another accolade for their masked music, winning the "Spirit of Hammer" award at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods prize-giving in London last night (June 12).

The flamboyant monster rockers were an unexpected success at the annual televised music contest last month with their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah", but seemed less out of place at the Koko club venue in the British capital.

Heavy rock act TRIVIUM stole the show, picking up three gongs for "Best Live Band", "Best Drummer" (Travis Smith) and a "Golden God" award for the group's Matt Heafy.

Controversial SLAYER album "Reign In Blood" — which last week hit headlines when it was scrawled by fans over a New York seminary to mark devilish date 6/6/06 — picked up "Best Album of the Past 20 Years".
