Last night, the troubled British rock magazine Kerrang! held its annual awards show, and the slate of nominees and winners represented something of a slight stylistic shift for the mag, which has probably noticed the circulation gains experienced by Metal Hammer and adjusted its coverage accordingly. Out go My Chemical Romance and 30 Seconds To Mars; in come the Dillinger Escape Plan and, um, 30 Seconds To Mars, which was the “big” winner on the evening because it won two awards (Best International Band and Best Single). Full list of winners after the jump.
