Voting has opened for the The Relentless Kerrang! Awards 2014.

Biffy Clyro were among the big winners at last year’s ceremony, picking up Best Album for "Opposites", as well as Iron Maiden and Slayer who picked up Kerrang! Inspiration and Kerrang! Legend awards respectively.

"Holy crap, this is my eighth year hosting the Relentless Kerrang! Awards? I think there are only three things in my life I've done at least eight years in a row… Anthrax, my better half and the Kerrang! Awards.

“That's some heavy perspective right there. So get your drinking pants on – here's to another barn-burner of an evening!"

It's also been confirmed that Andrew W.K will be joining Scott as a joint host at the ceremony.
