It seems strange to give the best band of the year award to a band who have already produced three albums before, each one better than the new one...

Iron Maiden is far better, heavier, and more metal than Cannibal Corpse could ever hope to be.

I don't understand how anyone who considers themselves a fan of Metal could say such blasphemy?

Iron Maiden are fucking gods. There is no better metal band in the history of heavy metal. In fact there is no better band in history. Period.

Iron Maiden fucking rule man, and if you don't see that, or don't 'get it', you need to go back and get schooled on some roots.

Molotov, your politics are always bang on, but man your taste in music sucks if you don't worship Maiden, along with the 99.9999999999999999% of Metal fans who do!

I'm so glad that Cannibal Corpse recieved a Lifetime Achievement Award. That's their big middle finger to Bob Dole, Joe Lieberman, The PRMC, and everyone else that tried to ban Cannibal Corpse. I'm also happy that Iron Maiden (one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time) got the awards for International Band and International Album. As far as Children Of Bodom go, they are a great band and it comes as no surprise that they got the award for Finnish Band Of The Year. Children Of Bodom are not copying Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden do not have a keyboardist in their band and Bruce Dickinson never growls. To the person who said that he has never heard of Machine Men and Kotiteollisuus, maybe it's because those bands are only big in Europe.

Oh, and Kepper, you've got to work on your spelling because there are a lot of mistakes in your last two postings.

madien=maiden
Nirvanna=Nirvana
evin=even
sory=sorry

Like Steven from the show, IMX, said, "If you can't spell, don't type."

Yes, my native country rock, indeed :-) !!!

I really wonder how Evanscence won that title! I really wouldn't even rate them as metal....

Iron Maiden played two gigs in Finland this year (which is quite many for such a small country) and Finnish fans really appreciate that...so that's probably why Maiden's Dance Of Death won that award.
Children Of Bodom is probably the most popular finnish Metal Band...so it's really no suprise that they won this award..

It's no wonder Maiden play's in Finland, because they are indeed very popular here, and it's always been that way.

Nobody on this board has probably heard of Kotiteollisuus, because they sing in Finnish. They're not an international band, nor do they wish to be on account of their language choice.

And to anybody who wishes to put down Iron Maiden: NO FUCKING REAL METAL FAN WILL EVER DISS IRON MAIDEN!

Omnium Gatherum "Spirits and the August Light"? It's an amazingly creative and well-played melo-death album, very much like a miz between Dark Tranquillity and Colony-era In Flames, but with better keyboards.

And yes, I never thought "Cannibal Corpse" and "Lifetime Achievement" would be in the same sentence!! I see the four horsemen of the apocalypse now!

It is good to see that Iron Maiden 'finnished' first in their categories! Sorry, it was too tempting...

Check out Elenium. Their cd is called "For Giving For Getting". Same type of stuff as Omnium Gatherum. The Dude highly recommends them!

I too raise infernal horns and hails to Finland for their recognition of Cannibal Corpse as well as Maiden. Of course, I'd like to see excellent Finnish bands like Kalmah, Moonsorrow and Shape of Despair be recognized. I'm not really into CoB, but I understand their being recognized, since the event was based on popularity. Nothing wrong with that.

that half of the awards are going out to NON FINNISH bands when the whole thing is supposed to be about FINNISH bands so all youse WANKERS above arguing about iron maiden and cannibal corpse, who really gives a shit????
Its for Finnish bands and obviously they dont have or more accurately observe the fact that they have more metal bands than they realise.
I mean who really cares about 'international band' and 'international newcomer'??
aaaw did we run out of ideas for more national nominations did we???
