Den Headz, are you ready to find out which 5 acts move onto the finals (July 21st) for TMD’s 2nd annual ‘Battle Of The Bands’ online contest? Remember, the winner chosen earns a label representation deal with The Metal Den Records (valued at $3,000). Top 2 runner-ups receive alternate prizes TBA.
The tough voting process is based off three separate criteria, rated 1-15, 15 being the absolute highest rating, so best possible overall score is 90:

2. Studio Recording (EP, LP or Demo)
3. Video of live performance (If you can’t rock us hard via video, odds are you won’t in person!)
The Judges:
