Apocalyptica wins at Metal Hammer awards 2008

Apocalyptica has been nominated for the Best Breakthrough Act 2008 and got their first Golden Gods now

"What a great night it was at Metal Hammer's 'Golden Gods Awards'! Fantastic bands - Disturbed, In Flames, Children Of Bodom and Testament - all performing live! We meet some long time friends and having a blast at the after show party! On top we are very proud to finally win 'best breakthrough artist' award at the award show. OK - we're touring since 12 years and did 6 albums - but the time has come to finally break through. MANY MANY thanks to all of you - you were the ones who voted for this."

Apocalyptica and Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil performed their song at this years Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards at Indigo O2 on 16th June.

Also Apocalyptica performed the epic ballad "SOS (Anything But Love)" together with Cristina at this years' Download Festival on Sunday 15th June.

Cristina comments: "Last time I performed at the Metal Hammer Award: 1) I won an award, and that was AWESOME 2) I was sick, very sick, and that was a LITTLE LESS awesome, but STILL great because LACUNA COIL performed that night as well ... and I saw you guys being there with us, hearts and souls. This year I'll be there without the Lacuna boys, but with my other buddies of Apocalyptica. When we perform 'SOS (Anything but love)' I expect you all to sing it with me!!! And after, we all will party together, that's for sure!"
