Revolver Golden Gods Awards

America's first ever Metal Awards show the "Revolver Golden Gods Awards" was held on a Tuesday night (April 7th) at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. (yes this is a first in America, but more than a couple have been taking place in Europe over the years, like Metal Hammer's version for example)

The show was hosted by comedian/full blown metal head Brian Posehn.

While alot of metal heavy weights where honored (Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Vinnie Paul Abbott, Jeff Hanneman, Kerry King and more) the awards also featured a "special DJ set" from Corey Taylor (Slipknot). The show will air May 2nd, on MTV2 and will probably surface online shortly after.

Metal Injection's Rob! caught up with a ton of awesome bands at the first ever "Black Carpet" (yea calling it black makes it metal... ChA'ME ON!)

Oh yea and Matt Heafy is a dork.

The winners who were honored at the show were as follows:
