On reflection, we might’ve been a bit hasty calling for the end of summer. After an especially wet and muddy Wacken Open Air 2025<\/a>, and with more festivals like Bloodstock<\/a>, ArcTanGent and Reading\/Leeds still to come, we’re thinking we don’t mind too much if the sun sticks around just a little while longer.<\/p>\n But anyway, onwards with the results of last week’s vote<\/a>! German power metallers Primal Fear took an admirable third place position, but were themselves beaten by heavy metal<\/a> legends Spinal Tap and their all-new rendition of Stonehenge<\/em>, featuring Elton John. But the overall winners – by some way – were rising melodeath heroes Orbit Culture, whose Hydra <\/em>proved an unkillable beast. Top notch.<\/p>\n
