X Japan Wins Golden Gods Award As Best International Band

X Japan took home the award for Best International Band Wednesday night at the fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards held at the Nokia Theatre in downtown Los Angeles.  With the members of Anthrax presenting the award, X Japan triumphed over internationally-acclaimed Rammstein (Germany), Lacuna Coil (Italy), Sepultura (Brazil), Behemoth (Poland), and Meshuggah (Sweden).  X Japan was the first Asian band to ever receive a Golden Gods nomination, and joined this year's other winners that included Avenged Sevenfold, Slash, Korn, Nikki Sixx, Slipknot, Gene Simmons and Evanescence.

 

"Thank you Revolver, thank you so much for recognizing us," said Yoshiki, leader of X Japan who was present at the ceremony to accept the award.

"Some people might have heard of us, we're from Japan.  We toured North America in 2010, and did our first world tour last year.  Now we are finishing our first English album that will be released worldwide, and are planning another world tour soon. And to our beloved fans, thank you so much for your support, we are going to keep on rocking."

X Japan is one of the most successful rock bands in Japanese history, having sold more than 30-million albums, singles and videos, and filled the 55,000-seat Tokyo Dome a record 18 times.  The popularity of the band in Japan has made them a cultural phenomenon in music, fashion and business.  X Japan made its North American debut at the 2010 Lollapalooza festival, and sold out their New York City debut at the famed Roseland Ballroom as part of their first American tour that same year.  In 2011, they kicked off the European portion of their world tour by selling out Shepherd's Bush Empire in London within 30 minutes, and continued their sold-out tour by performing in Latin America and Southeast Asia. 

Tonight: Sixx:A.M.'s Only Performance This Year!

After their #1 smash “Lies of the Beautiful People” hit the radio waves and spread virally online, fans have been begging relentlessly for one thing – a live performance from Sixx:A.M.

In what could possibly be the band’s only performance of 2012, and its first in 4 years, the wait is over as Sixx:A.M. will be opening the Golden Gods Awards on April 11 in Los Angeles, CA with performances of their new single “Are You With Me Now” and the top 10 active rock hit “This Is Gonna Hurt.” Without any previous or upcoming touring plans, fans will be eagerly tuning in as this might be the only chance to see the supergroup consisting of bassist Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe), vocalist James Michael (famed producer) and guitarist Dj Ashba (Guns N’ Roses) live on stage for a long time. Nikki Sixx is also up for the “Best Bassist” award.

Fellow Eleven Seven Music artists HELLYEAH and Buckcherry are also set to participate in the festivities. HELLYEAH will present the “Drum Workshop Best Drummer” and Buckcherry will present the “Most Metal Athlete.”

HELLYEAH released their first single “War In Me” off of their upcoming 3^rd studio album Band of Brothers (July 17^th) this past Tuesday. The single can be purchased at iTunes.
