PiercingMetal Thoughts: So what do you readers think of the winners circle on this years APMAS? Are any of your favorite bands named up above? I am especially happy to see artists like Paramore, Rob Zombie and The Black Veil Brides winning out since I have been doing my best to support them in articles on the website. Please chime in if you are happy or outraged about the outcome because it makes for good engagement with you all. I am going to try to keep features like this one coming because its interesting to do them. That’s all I have about this topic so congratulations to the winners once again. Keep on rocking.
