The 2010 Revolver Golden God Awards have announced their nominees and Richmond, VA metallers LAMB OF GOD have been nominated in two categories. The band has been nominated for best live band alongside The Devil Wears Prada, Metallica, Motorhead, Rob Zombie and Slayer. In addition to the best live band nomination, LAMB OF GOD drummer Chris Adler is up for an award in the best drummer category alongside metal’s finest drummers including: Brann Dailor (Mastodon), Dave Grohl (Them Crooked Vultures), Gene Hoglan (Dethklok, Fear Factory), Dave Lombardo (Slayer), and Jimmy “The Rev” Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold)
Drummer Chris Adler had the following to say about his nomination in the best drummer category as well as the band’s nomination in the best live band category, “I’m incredibly flattered to have my contributions within the band nominated. I’ve tried very hard to create a unique voice within the band with my drums and to share this with several of the world’s best drummers is an incredible honor. I think all the nominees are deserving and I’m lucky to be included.
Two years ago the band won a Golden God award in the UK for best live band and to have the same nomination at home feels very good. We’ve worked very hard to make sure our shows never disappoint, and to have our work recognized is very satisfying. Win or lose, we’re in great company.”
This year, hosting duties for the Golden Gods will be shared between musician, activist, and entrepreneur Andrew W.K. and lead singer of Fozzy, professional WWE wrestling superstar, actor, and author Chris Jericho.
New for this year, fans everywhere can cast their vote beginning today to choose who will take home the awards for “Best Guitarist,” “Best Drummer,” “Best Vocalist,” “Album of the Year,” “Best Live Band,” “Best Underground Band,” “Most Metal Athlete,” “Hottest Chick(s) in Metal” and “Comeback of the Year.” Voting is going on now at www.revolvermag.com/goldengods and ends on Wednesday, March 31.
