You Me At Six, Deaf Havana, Architects and Bring Me The Horizon are amongst the top nominees for this year's Relentless Kerrang! Awards.
Taking place at London's Troxy on Thursday, June 12, the ceremony will be hosted by Andrew W.K. and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian.
Surrey band You Me At Six are up for five awards after hitting the No.1 spot on the UK Albums Chart in January with their fourth LP Cavalier Youth. They could walk away with Best Single, Best Album, Best British Band, Best Live Band and Hottest Male for guitarist Max Helyer.
Deaf Havana are up for Best Video while Architects will battle it out for the Best Album prize. Sheffield band Bring Me The Horizon could get Best Live Band - but will be fighting off stiff competition from the likes of Paramore.
Australia pop-rock act 5 Seconds Of Summer are shortlisted for Best International Newcomer, alongside Crossfaith, Issues, State Champs and We Came As Romans. You can check out the full list of nominees below.
“This is the third Relentless Kerrang! Awards I’ve presided over now, and I don’t think I’ve been quite this excited before,” said Kerrang! editor James McMahon.
“There are bands nominated I love, legends lined up that I respect, and the party itself will contain some unforgettable surprises. It’s a testament to the strength and size of the rock scene right now that bands as diverse as 5 Seconds Of Summer and Behemoth, and Baby Godzilla and You Me At Six can galvanise a community to vote in their thousands.
"Respect to Kerrang! readers for remaining the most loyal, passionate, cool-ass music fans on the planet. We hope our 2014 party does you justice.”
Voting starts in this week’s Kerrang! magazine and on the website and closes on Thursday, June 5. Sponsors for the Relentless Kerrang! Awards include Sonisphere, Troxy, Kerrang! TV and Kerrang! Radio. Staritsky Levitsky Vodka is the official vodka partner.
