The evening also saw Machine Head honored with the Kerrang! Hall Of Fame award, legendary guitarist Slash take the Kerrang! Icon gong and The Blackout walk away with our special Devotion Award Sponsored By Relentless Energy Drink.

Other winners on the night included Mastodon grabbing Best Album for The Hunter, with the band accepting their award via video message as they are currently out on tour.

“Thank you Kerrang! Magazine for always supporting to us and being so nice to us,” said drummer Brann Dailor. “Thank you to our fans for supporting us. We are sorry we can’t be there with all you drunk bastards to accept it in person and drink with you!”
