WATAIN was honored with the “Best Hard Rock” award at the Swedish “Grammis” gala, which was held this past Monday night (January 17) in Stockholm. Video footage of the band’s acceptance speech can be viewed below (courtesy of Mary Raven’s blog).

The band stated from the stage (translated from Swedish), “Strange mood in here… So far it’s been a pretty intense year, even though it’s still January… We’ve had earthquakes in South America, we’ve had half of Australia lying under water, we’ve had birds raining from the sky… and now we win a Grammis. One doesn’t know whether to laugh or fall back, right? … We’d like to thank our brothers and sisters, dead and alive. It’s very much because of you we stand here this evening. Hail Satan.”
