Kerrang! Magazine – the UK’s biggest selling music weekly – has today announced that this year’s Kerrang!

Open Voting on the new categories plus Best British Newcomer, Best International Newcomer, Best Single, Best Video, Best Album, Best Live Band, Best British Band (sponsored by Fender) and Best International Band, opens today (Wednesday 4 April) in Kerrang! Magazine and www.kerrang.com. 

The Kerrang! Awards 2012 fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink will take place Thursday 7 June, and will be the first under the helm of new Kerrang! Editor James McMahon. This year also marks the third consecutive year of Relentless Energy Drink’s headline sponsorship of the Awards, continuing a close relationship which also sees an annual nationwide multi-artist tour that has been sponsored by Relentless Energy Drink for the past five years. 
 
Other honorary awards to be presented on the night include The Devotion Award sponsored by Relentless Energy Drink, which are awarded by the K! judging panel.
 
Renowned as one of the most exciting and rock ’n’ roll events in the UK music industry calendar, the Kerrang! Awards fuelled by Relentless Energy Drink always attracts the biggest and best names in rock & metal and is committed to putting on an unforgettable evening. 
 
"It's no exaggeration or bias to say that the Kerrang! Awards are the best awards music has to offer” says Kerrang! Editor James McMahon.  “This year we want to show even more people just how unique and fun they really are. We're adding a whole load of new awards - as Kerrang!'s world gets broader, our fans have opinions on more than just rock - but there's much more to come. This year’s awards will be a celebration of Kerrang! and rock music’s dominance in 2012"
