I can't think of any better way the 20th Relentless Kerrang! Awards could have been celebrated. There's been so many reasons to be excited about being a rock fan already this year.

Relentless Kerrang! Awards Nominees 2013

The Kerrang! Awards is an annual music awards show in the United Kingdom, founded by rock music magazine Kerrang! in 1993.

The Relentless Kerrang! Awards is taking place on Thursday 13 June of this year, at new East End venue, Troxy. The ceremony will be hosted by Blink-182 bassist and lead vocalist Mark Hoppus and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian.

 "Once again the Relentless Kerrang! Awards returns to celebrate all that is great and good in rock music," says Kerrang! Editor James McMahon. "I can say for a fact that all other awards ceremonies are crap compared to ours. I know this because I've been to loads of them, and ours is the only one where I've ever ended up on a rooftop talking to Jack Black about what pigeon tastes like at 3am."

 

"The secret is that we only do this for the fans," continues James. "Yeah, I know that makes me sound like Bob Geldof or something. But it's true. We only do this to celebrate the music the readers love, and to create new stories and a bit of magic that makes the music world that little bit more exciting than it would be if we didn't get a whole load of stars in a room and say, 'Let's rock!'"
