The winners 2005, GORILLA MONSOON, are happy about a record contract at Armageddon Music and work hard on their new album. Further they have the possibility to tour copious and present themselves live to a huge audience. It was worth the effort and proves that the platform METAL BATTLE is suitable to make the step to the professional league. The unreckonedly high level from all of the bands participating made it clear that this potential has to be further enhanced.

That´s why the ICS - W:O:A Team and METAL HAMMER decided to start the new round as early as possible. Herewith we appeal to apply for the METAL BATTLE 2006. Here are the info details:
