Goddess Gagged and Providence Dominate Rolling Stone Metal Awards Nominations

The Nominations for the Rolling Stone Metal Awards 2012 are out – and there are quite a few surprises in store.


Goddess Gagged and Providence lead the pack with a whopping seven nominations each. The only category they both haven’t been nominated for is the ‘best keyboardist’, considering they both don’t. Have. One. That’s called killing it for you. Bangalore outfit Eccentric Pendulum also have multiple nominations as well as Mumbai’s experimental metal band Pangea.

Amazingly though, Keshav Dhar-led Skyharbor (which incidentally just opened for Lamb of God in Bangalore) which is the band EVERYONE’s been talking about nowadays managed to earn just three nominations.
