METALLICA, SLIPKNOT, LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON Among KERRANG! AWARDS Nominees

July 1, 2009

The 2009 Kerrang! Awards will be held at a top secret London location on August 3 and this year's event will be hosted by SLIPKNOT vocalist Corey Taylor and ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian.

SLIPKNOT and METALLICA head up the nominations for the Kerrang! Awards 2009. Fresh from their triumphant Download festival headline appearance, the Iowa-based nine-piece has notched up six nominations (including two nominations for "Best Single") while metal legends METALLICA are nominated in five categories.

"I am thrilled," SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor said in a statement. "It is just another reason (why) this has been the best time of our career."
