Details For The REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARD SHOW Revealed: METALLICA To Headline!

America’s only Hard Rock and Heavy Metal award show is back for 2013! The fifth annual REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARD SHOW presented by Epiphone® will take place on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, California.


The biggest Heavy Music awards show in all of the America's will be hosted by Fozzy frontman and WWE pro-wrestling legend Chris Jericho. The nominees in 11 different fan-voted categories, plus the recipients of this year’s prestigious “Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award” (presented by Ernie Ball), “Golden God Award” (presented by Sumerian Records) and “Riff Lord” (presented by EMG Pickups), were revealed at a press conference at the Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood in Los Angeles.

Host Chris Jericho was on hand, along with Sebastian Bach, Five Finger Death Punch, Halestorm, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Maria Brink and Chris Howorth (In This Moment), John 5 (Rob Zombie), Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan) and Zakk Wylde to announce the nominees. Halestorm performed a special live set, including a guest appearance by Sebastian Bach on a cover of the Skid Row classic “Slave to the Grind.”

Fans everywhere can cast their vote to decide who will take home the awards for “Best Guitarist” (presented by Epiphone), “Best Drummer” (presented by Drum Workshop), “Best Vocalist” (presented by Rockstar Energy Drink), “Album of the Year” (presented by Orange Amplification), “Song of the Year,” “Best Live Band” (presented by Samson/Zoom), “Best New Talent,” “Most Metal Athlete,” (presented by Roadrunner Records), “Comeback of the Year,” “Paul Gray Best Bassist” (presented by Dean Markley) and “Most Dedicated Fans” (presented by Xbox LIVE).

Voting is now open at GoldenGodsAwards.com and ends April 15.


The Golden God Award (presented by Sumerian Records), which is given to one special honoree a year who embodies the spirit of Hard Rock and Metal, will go to Rob Zombie, who commented, “What can I say? It is a complete honor to receive this award and have my name join the list of such legendary past winners as Alice Cooper and Gene Simmons. Pretty cool deal to be part of the Golden God club.” (The other previous honorees are Rob Halford of Judas Priest and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth.) Rob Zombie will be releasing his brand NEW album, 'Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor'  (Zodiac Swan/T-Boy/Ume), on April 23, and his latest feature film, "The Lords of Salem" (Anchor Bay), on April 26.
The Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award (presented by Ernie Ball), will go to Metallica, who will release the 3D movie "Through the Never" in August. (Previous honorees include Rush, Motley Crue, Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead and Ozzy Osbourne.)

Metallica’s Lars Ulrich commented, “Since the Revolver Golden Gods Awards is fast becoming THE most rocking awards ceremony in the hard rock world, we are beyond psyched to be at the receiving end of this shout out and in the distinguished company of Rush, Lemmy, Ozzy and Motley Crue. I was hanging out and presenting at the shenanigans two years ago and the energy in the room and the vibe backstage was beyond fucking cool, so Metallica is chomping at the bit to partake in this year’s event. Once again, we are honored to be recognized as achievers (!!) and we can’t wait to get up and jam onstage and sweat for and on everybody gathered.”

The Riff Lord Award, (presented by EMG Pickups) is given each year to a legendary guitarist in the field of hard rock & heavy metal. This year it’s going to none other than Black Sabbath axeman, Tony Iommi, who had this to say about the honor, “What a great honour to receive the Golden Gods Riff Lord Award for 2013, especially with our new Sabbath album coming out. I hope there will be some new favorite riffs in these songs.” Slash of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver won the award last year.

Adding to the celebration, the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods Awards show will feature one-of-a-kind special performances and collaborations that honor both the past, present and future of heavy music. The night’s Hard Rocking musical performances will include sets by Metallica, Five Finger Death Punch, Anthrax, Stone Sour, Dillinger Escape Plan and Halestorm, with more performers to be announced in the coming weeks.

Ivan Moody, lead singer of Five Finger Death Punch, had this to say about his band’s Golden Gods performance, “Being in the studio these last few months working on our new album, the momentum has been building. We are ready to be back where we belong—onstage in front of all of you! What better way to play our first show of 2013 than with our family at Revolver Magazine and on America’s only Hard Rock and Heavy Metal awards show!”

Returning as well is the “Black Carpet” pre-show that will be hosted by legendary Heavy Metal frontmen Sebastian Bach and Dee Snider. Bach and Snider will be interviewing all the nominees, honorees and performers on the Revolver Black Carpet before show time for the special, which will air on both AXS TV and Xbox LIVE.

Also announced today was the launch of the first-ever Revolver Road to the Golden Gods Tour. Featuring Stone Sour and In This Moment, the 30-city national tour will kick off in March and conclude at the 2013 Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show. Stone Sour lead singer Corey Taylor says, “Me and the guys in Stone Sour are very excited, not only to be a part of the Golden Gods, but also to be headline the first Road to the Golden Gods Tour! The Golden Gods is the only awards show in America that truly recognizes and honors our genre; so to be a part of a tour that they sponsor is something that we are all very proud of. We’re looking forward to the tour, and looking forward to the awards ceremony. We promise we will have something special that no one will ever forget!”

The Sunset Strip’s hottest export, Steel Panther, are looking to further their quest for worldwide domination with the release of their first-ever DVD, 'Steel Panther - British Invasion' via Guitar Anarchy Studios. Rumored for release multiple times in the US in 2010 and 2011, the DVD finally sees the light of day stateside on October 22, 2012. Recorded with 16 cameras in pristine HD over a 2-year period, the DVD chronicles Steel Panther’s legendary live show that the band has come to be known for. Beginning in March 2010 at the band’s sold-out show at Brixton Academy in London during their highly successful “Feel The Steel” tour, the DVD features some of the band’s most memorable hits including “Asian Hooker,” ”Community Property,” “The Shocker,” and “Stripper Girl” in a way never seen before. Included in the package is a laugh out loud documentary that follows the band backstage and on their tour that is not to be missed. The Deluxe Box set includes 2 DVD’s- One with the full show and one with the documentary, deleted scenes and 5 songs from Download Festival 2012.

The packaging also includes a 16-page color book. The DVD will also be available in Blu-Ray at the same time. 'Steel Panther – British Invasion' was directed & produced by Award-Winning Director Daniel E Catullo III (Rush, Nickelback, Rage Against The Machine, Godsmack) and was mixed by Jay Ruston who worked with the band on both of their previous records. An official DVD website has been set up specifically for the DVD release, www.steelpantherdvd.com, with a pre-order starting today as well. Fans who pre-order the DVD on the DVD site will receive a limited edition signed poster of the band for free. NEW videos will be released every week up until release day to give the fans a sneak peak at the DVD and updated information will be posted on the Official DVD site.

Steel Panther is currently gearing up for their 2nd World Tour of 2012. The tour kicks off in Auckland, NZ, on October 2nd, and the 25+ city trek runs through mid-November and makes stops in major markets all over Europe and Australia including Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Perth, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Manchester, Paris, Zurich and Bristol before wrapping up in London on November 15th.
