And the Relentless Kerrang! Awards 2015 nominees are…
Kerrang! are pleased to announce the contenders of rock’n’roll royalty in the nominations for the Relentless Kerrang! Awards 2015. London’s iconic Troxy will play host on Thursday 11 June 2015 to the rock’n’roll mayhem, which will be hosted by none other than Andrew W.K. and Skindred’s Benji Webbe. To add to the excitement, tickets for the event have been made available to the public for the first time, allowing Kerrang! fans to be part of the most badass awards ceremony in town.
From homegrown talent to international rockstars, zombie-fuelled madness and fans in the room for the first time, this year’s Relentless Kerrang! Awards will surely be the most entertaining yet. You can buy your tickets for the awards here! Voting starts in this week’s Kerrang! magazine and on the website, awards.kerrang.com. Voting closes Thursday 4 June.

Not so much The Walking Dead as The Walking Shred, and what other awards ceremony can you say that about? I am currently advising everyone attending to bring a baseball bat, a golf club, or something else to protect their brains from the ghoulish, but that’s enough about Marilyn Manson…

We’ve got women in bands where often (embarrassingly) there has been none. We’ve got weirdo, outsider bands. We’ve got stadium-filling bands. It’s proof that rock is still the music of the masses, the passionate and the brave. Rock is still the most exciting thing you can put in your ears. If the zombies haven’t bitten them off, that is…”
