Most of the categories' "respective" nominees are bad enough, but look at the Most Dedicated Fans nominees. Are you fucking kidding me? I guarantee less than 1% of those "fans" are true metalheads. Fucking Black Veil Brides, gimme a fucking break.

Fuck all those bands. Slayer have some of the most dedicated fans ever, period.

But i'm glad they're not on that list

But they do have some of the most die-hard dedicated fans of all metal. and that goes for a lot of black/death metal bands too, once again, fuck those bands and this goddamn list. Hail satan

The Golden Gods has always been a joke. So yeah... nothing surprising here.
