    If moderators were to do a list they would be propably leave out bands like Septic Flesh, Omnium Gatherum, Amon Amarth, Hell, Draconian, Arch Enemy, Primordial, Wolves in The Throne Room, Moonsorrow, Insomnium, Blood Ceremony, Amorphis, Thulcandra, Insomnium and Demonaz.
    There's only one moderator and I'd definitely have Arch Enemy on the list, not sure about the others :).

    Seeing as we have best rock album and best metal album, could we have best rock band and best metal band as two seperate categories?
    Yes, good idea! Here's the current list then with the "Worst" categories taken out again:
    1. Metal Album of the Year
    2. Rock Album of the Year
    3. Metal Band of the Year
    4. Rock Band of the Year
    5. Gig of the Year
    6. Irish Band of the Year
    7. New Band of the Year
    8. Shock of the Year
    9. Talking Point of the Year
    10. Video of the Year
    11. Disappointment of the Year
    12. Song of the Year
    13. Album Lifetime Achievement Award

    How does a lucky 13 categories sound?

    Discussion seems to have tapered off, but maybe that can be taken as a sign of contentment. Those 13 categories look fine to me anyway.

    How are nominations/voting to happen? I presume we are using the same format as last year, which to be honest worked pretty well in my opinion.

    Yeah, I reckon the same as last year for simplicity. One set of votes per poster. I'll stick a thread up at some stage in the near future.

    I had a hard time thinking what I'd vote for :).

    So does the new Opeth album count as rock or metal? :P 'cause parts would fit into either category...

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Well I'd class them as a metal band so that's what I'd go for.

    Heritage is way more a rock album though... Could get a bit subjective. I'd consider it a rock album... but historically the band is more metal. Could get messy

    Just vote for Arch Enemy's album instead :p. I still feel bad for not including it.
