W:O:A Metal Maters energised by Relentless Energy Drink – And the winner is…

The final voting of this year´s Metal Masters Competition (energised by Relentless Energy Drink) is over and here we go with the announcement of the winner!

We granted you almost 3 months of time to vote your favorite bands to the top and just about 100 bands participated during the first voting period.

Three of them made it to the final voting period which started on the 1st of May. These bands were Mythika, GOD and Winterstorm.

Until yesterday these bands fought a head-to-head race to gain the highly coveted live slot at this year´s Wacken Open Air.

As in the last year the winner was not determined by the number of votes but by the average rating.

However - There can be only one! With a small majority of points WINTERSTORM left it´s competitors GOD and Mythika behind and gained the well deserved victory and therewith the title W:O:A METAL MASTER 2012!

With their victory Winterstorm catches the Thursday live slot on Wacken´s W.E.T Stage.

And here is the winner video:
