Rendering - Week 16

This article was published on the May 3rd, 2013, 2013  on the site of

Revolver Magazine by Paige Montgomery and called  " Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2013 " which tells us about the biggest names in rock and metal gathering together at Club Nokia in Los Angeles Thursday night to celebrate the genre and honor their peers at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards 2013.

It's necessary to point out, that hard rock and metal’s answer to the Grammys, Revolver Magazine’s Golden Gods Awards is metal’s chance to show the world the strength of the genre and the camaraderie amongst its artists.

Moreover, Alice Cooper said, that they don’t get invited to the Grammys that often and it’s something different than anything else.

In addition to that, Marilyn Manson, who was Cooper’s tourmate for the 2013 Masters of Madness jokingly added, that they get to see a lot of people we usually tour with and such awards I don’t usually care about unless I get one.

Montgomery  emphasizes the fact, that Five Finger Death Punch front man and Denver-native Ivan Moody made a rare appearance on the black carpet to talk about the band’s upcoming two-album release.

In addition to that, the author can't deny the fact, that the biggest musical moments of the night were the multitude of on stage collaborations and cameos from some of hard rock and metal’s most legendary performers and Anthrax kicked off the show with the night’s first collaborative effort, bringing Pantera’s Phil Anselmo and Rex Brown on stage for “This Love” (Pantera) and Slayer’s “Raining Blood”, which was dedicated to Slayer guitarist Jeff Hanneman; who tragically passed away earlier on Thursday.

Moreover, the author proves the fact, the night was full of memorable performances, collaborations and some surprising winners including the award for Best Drummer, which Halestorm’s Arejay Hale took home, beating out Rush’s Neal Pert.

To draw the conclusion, the author says, that the night ended with the award show’s highly anticipated performance by Metallica. Moreover, the recipients of the 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award also took home the nod for biggest metal moment of the night as award-goers crowd-surfed across the Club Nokia floor and the set featured another Rob Halford cameo for a cover of the Judas Priest classic “Rapid Fire.”

Personally, such awards and shown are more warmer , then Grammy and so on, because there is no any extreme censure and banning for some hard words or actions. People here are opened with their minds and hearts and can give us the real emotion of music – rock music in any it’s wave and style.
