CHILDREN OF BODOM: Nominated for Metal Hammer Awards

Children Of Bodom gear up to crush skulls and melt faces at this year’s Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards

On Monday June 16th, fresh from what is sure to be a triumphant performance at the Download festival, Children Of Bodom will make the pilgrimage from Castle Donington, rock’s spiritual home, to London, with over 1,000 rock and metal fans to experience the Golden Gods’ unique blend of award show glitz and glamour and the heavy metal thunder of our live line-up, which will also include Disturbed, In Flames, and Testament.

Hosted by Oderus Urungus from legendary metal crew GWAR, the Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2008 will boast the most elaborate, bespoke production ever seen from a rock awards show.. Metal Hammer will also be hosting a second stage for the first time ever, aboard the Thames’ finest vessel, the Dixie Queen. A bunch of rabid fans will get the chance to see live sets from some of the hottest up-and-coming metal bands in the world, including Bring Me The Horizon and Job For A Cowboy, while chugging their way up the Thames to the O2.
