Danish VOLBEAT has issued the following update on band’s official website:

Metal Hammer has just announced the amazing results of the magazine’s Readers Poll 2010: VOLBEAT is the top scorer in 4 categories: Best Band, Best Album (Beyond Hell/above Heaven), Best song (Fallen) and Rising Artist 2010.

The band is truly overwhelmed by this incredible acknowledgement from the German fans, and Michael Poulsen comments:

”When you look at it, it looks impossible, but hey, it just shows again that we have some amazing fans and listeners in Germany. And we can’t thank you enough for your support, you truly Rock, and you make VOLBEAT very proud. Thank you so much people!”

Even the editors of Metal Hammer were surprised to find VOLBEAT three times on the top 10 for Best Song, with Evelyn and Heaven Nor Hell voted as 5th and 7th best in the category.

VOLBEAT is also among the readers’ favorites in the categories of Best Video Clip, Best Artwork and Best Show – in the latter, only beaten by Germany’s very own Rammstein!

All the results from the Metal Hammer Reader’s Poll 2010 will be published in the German April edition.
