Okay, all that “best new” and “breakthrough” stuff last year was fun. We’ve officially gone way past the very bounds of madness at this point:
Best Live Band award is handed to @BABYMETAL_JAPAN. Who's seen them in action? #KerrangAwards pic.twitter.com/5RCrdsUiUU

On the one hand, anybody who’s ever seen a big Babymetal live knows that they go beyond all-out, and their production team goes even further than that, so that whoever Kerrang’s voters are like it isn’t surprising. I’m just still trying to get my head around … three Japanese idols still unable to legally drink taking a major award from one of the most important publications in rock.
Amazing.
