Piercing Ken Thoughts: As you might have surmised, there isn’t really anything on this list of nominees that I am following with my Music and Pop Culture site PiercingMetal.com but hey that is how my music scene goes. It’s forever kept in the dark despite just how popular it is. Metal bands are on farewell tours that are selling out arenas and stadiums all over the country and yet not a peep about them on awards like this. A shame but hey it is what it is. I do like to keep this sort of content flowing for the readers of “The Chronicles” since its a broader base over here. Please let me know what you think of the nominees and if you are happy with them. I’d be interested in knowing if you felt a certain artist was cheated out of a nomination or two. See you next time.
