\"Iron-Maiden-Won-Kerrang-Awards\"<\/a><\/h1>\n

King of \u00a0Heavy Metal music Iron Maiden picked up an inspiration award at this year’s Kerrang! Awards.<\/h1>\n

The band were given the award for their pioneering role in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal which emerged in the the late 1970s.<\/p>\n

Their first album was released in 1980 and since then the rockers have had more than a dozen top 10 hits.<\/p>\n

Comedian Al Murray was at the event at London’s Troxy Club, and he presented May and Taylor with the Kerrang! Service to Rock award.<\/p>\n

Other accolades were given to Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro, who picked up the Best Album award for Opposites, which topped the charts earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The event, formally known as the Relentless Kerrang! Awards, is now in its twentieth year.<\/p>\n

You Me At Six walked away with the Best Event award for their sold-out show at London’s Wembley Arena.<\/p>\n

Sheffield’s Bring Me The Horizon were named Best British Band, while Lower Than Atlantis collected the prize for Best British Newcomer.<\/p>\n

Kerry King and Tom Araya, from Slayer, accepted the Kerrang! Legend award in their first UK appearance since the death of bassist and founding member Jeff\u00a0Hanneman.<\/p>\n

Kerrang! magazine editor James McMahon said, “What a night. What a night. People lost shoes. People lost phones. More so, people lost dignity.<\/p>\n

“I can’t think of any better way the 20th Relentless Kerrang! Awards could have been celebrated.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
