Festival season is officially here! With Welcome To Rockville officially kicking off this weekend, and both Desertfest and Sonic Temple due either side of the Atlantic next week, all eyes are on fields, parking lots and stadiums for the coming months as massive bands and emerging talent collide.<\/p>\n

That in mind, here’s the results of last week’s vote<\/a>! We had a lot of underground talent in the running, but even so it’s surprising that the likes of Loathe and Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats didn’t get a look in on the top 3. Instead, we had nordic alt metaller Eivor bagging third place, while Lithuania’s Black Spikes took second. But the crown went to Bahrain’s Zvindiyar, their brutal, occultish brand of death metal narrowly pulling ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n
