^That looks really great! Goncurlations to Strato boys!

:party:

and especially great to see Matias among the top ten

How did Amoral do so well?
Oh right...

Their album ratings on metalstorm tell everything...
http://metalstorm.net/bands/band.php?ba ... ame=Amoral

Oh and going soft and getting Ari Koivunen was simply a way of getting publicity...
That band actually makes me kind of sick.

Indeed...

Ghoul Patrol did really well as well. Their drummer is a cool guy, and their "debut" album is just crazy. Worths getting your hands on it!

Epic Win for Turisas! I liked a lot "Stand Up And Fight", but on the other hand there's CoB epic fail. It was an "OK" album, but at least not enough.

Stratovarius has done a good job and the band is in the major part of rankings and Matias is in the musician of the year ranking!

Congratulations guys!
