20 hats, 20 t-shirts and 20 special double movie passes. Universal Pictures Canada present "DOOM" The Movie. In Theatres October 21, 2005. The fine folks at Universal Canada were more than happy to offer 20 lucky metal fans a prize package, containing 1 DOOM hat, 1 DOOM shirt and 2 very special double movie passes to see the new thriller starring "The Rock". My own personal "tie" to this movie is that I used to play this twisted, killer video-game, back in 1996. It was responsible for me coming up with the 1996 release title "Refresh The Demon" ... When those old Windows 95 computers used to launch the game, it always read "Refreshing Daemon" on the screen! Thanks to Kyle and all at DOOM/Universal Canada for helping to promote METAL to the masses! Go see this movie; it is out today! It promises to be one HELLuva ride!!!

All DOOM prizes will drawn and awarded on Tuesday November 15.

3 cds and 3 dvd's. I asked the Metal Gods "Judas Priest" to be a part of this contest and I literally got a "we're in" within a few minutes by email. Three lucky winners will each receive one copy of the latest Priest masterpiece "Angel Of Retribution" AND the guys are even going to throw in their new "Rising In The East" dvd. For Annihilator to tour with these guys twice and then to have them here, giving to you metal freaks, the honor never ends! Thanks to The Priest!

1 test-pressing, 1 picture disc and one shirt. No metal contest could possibly be complete without Iron Maiden. Yes, you heard that right: Iron Maiden is here. Not only did they want to give a little something back to you all, they want to give you something a bit rare: a Test-Pressing Vinyl (a record/lp) for their new "Death On The Road"' live release. As well, our one lucky winner, of this Maiden Prize Package, will receive a 12" Picture Disc for The "Trooper" AND a cool Maiden shirt. Thanks from all of us metal fans and Annihilator hope to play another gig with you again, someday!

1 pedal. Scott Ian, of speed metal thrashing mad legends Anthrax, is ready to offer one lucky winner one of his DigiTech Black 13 signature distortion pedals. I just saw Scott/Anthrax on their recent Ottawa, Canada gig with Judas Priest and they are still at the top of their game. Cheers to Anthrax and Scott for this offering.

3 prize packages. "Magic" Ronnie James Dio is here for all of you; the legend himself has finally arrived and it was well worth the wait! From Elf, to Rainbow, to Black Sabbath to Dio, this man has done it all and is still teaching us how to rock. Ronnie would like to give 3 lucky winners an autographed "Evil or Divine" dvd, a personally-signed "We Rock" dvd (just released and only in Europe!) AND a "Holy Diver" jersey with 1983 tour dates on the back! Yes!!! A huge "thanks" go out to Wendy and Ronnie Dio and it is truly an honor for us to have you here.

3 prize packages. Wolf Hoffmann has been the main creative and driving force behind one of Germany's most important and influential metal bands "Accept". It is a great personal honor to have him grace the pages of this contest. Wolf has the ability that most do not have; not only does he play some of the most tasteful and melodic lead guitar ever, but he is also one of the best metal rhythm guitarists AND could write damn good songs. To have the ability to combine all 3 talents is rare. Other than Wolf, only Eddie Van Halen comes to mind. Wolf is offering you a chance at 3 prize packages for 3 lucky winners:
Prize A: 3 original, autographed color prints from the book "Les Paul: In His Own Words" (photographed by Wolf himself!)
Prize B: From the Accept 2005 Reunion Tour: 1 hoodie, 1 tour shirt and wristbands
Prize C: From the Wacken Festival: 1 15th Anniversary Shirt, calender and DVD; the latter two autographed by Wolf himself

3 shirts. Jeff Waters is extremely proud to have Germany's guitar legend Michael Schenker on board. From UFO to The Scorpions, from MSG to the Michael Schenker Group, he has given all us guitar players a lesson or two, or more. I could write a book on the influence he's had on lead guitar playing and on my own playing, but I am sure most of you know already. Michael himself will be personally sending 3 lucky winners a 25 Years MSG "Tales of Rock'n Roll" World Tour shirt. Thanks Michael and see you soon!

3 prize packages. Guitar legend Rik Emmett is here. Before I write on, I need to let everyone and Rik know just how cool this is to have him here; I have been a fan of his music and his playing since my teens. While initially known worldwide for his great song-writing and guitar playing skills with Canada's own Triumph, Rik has released over 14 solo cd's since 1988, done many tours and is regarded, by players like Slash and Steve Vai, as being one of the "greats". He is. Here is what Rik wants to give to 3 of you:
Package Gold: One Autographed Ltd. Edition (rare) poster plus 1 of Rik's cd's (your choice) + 2 tickets and meet and greet passes for any Rik Emmett show in North America in 2006. You have to get there. (sorry, this prize, Package GOLD is only available to North American winners)
Package Silver: One Limited edition guitar pick and pin set AND 2 " RIK EMMETT LIVE @ 10 GIGS" AND "LIVE IN CINCI" DVD's! Autographed, of course!
Package Bronze: Go to the Rik Emmett site and pick 3 cds of your choice; Rik will gladly autograph these, too.

5 cds. Well, when you have a few "older school" guitar legends, it's also time to make room for the new. I am honored to have Arch Enemy here, giving away 5 autographed cd's, including their latest "Doomsday Machine", to one lucky metalhead. This band has the ability to crush with their rhythms, write great songs and also play some incredible lead guitar. Thanks to Michael and Arch Enemy for some of the best, guitar-driven metal!
see these metal masters at: www.archenemy.net
JUST IN... Arch Enemy want to give you metalheads some more; YOU GUYS (and gals!) ROCK: 5 more winners will get 2 of the below shirts:
2 x UK 2005 tour shirts
2 x ‘Doomsday Machine’ album Ts
2 x ‘My Apocalypse’ Ts

1 x ‘Skeleton Dance’ longsleeve
1 x girly T
2 x ‘Doomsday Squad’ camouflage Ts

3 pairs of signature drum sticks. Mike Mangini is simply one of the greatest drummers in history. Need proof? Go see one of his drum clinics or see his web site! He's played with Steve Vai, Nuno Bettancourt (Extreme), is a well-known clinician, session-player, teacher and he's even played with Jeff Waters on a few Annihilator cd's!
Now if you STILL need more proof, he is currently the Official W.F.D. "World's Fastest Drummer" in all 3 Hand Categories:
Matched grip 1,247
Conventional grip 1,126
Bare Hands 1,138
These were all single strokes in one minute measured by the DRUMOMETER.
As for his feet, try 15 minute endurance foot singles that clocked in at 13,222 in 15 minutes!
Mike offers 3 lucky winners each an autographed pair of sticks; two pairs will be his current signature series and the 3rd pair will be a rare "lite" signature version; only 50 made! Thanks Mikey!

3 prize packages. Well it is about time. Testament are finally here and deservedly so; they took Annihilator on our first-ever North American tour back in 1989 and, of course, are one of the best in thrash metal history. Practice, Low and Demonic are just a few of my personal faves but enough about me. It is about the fans. Chuck, Eric and the boys are offering 3 lucky thrashers a "Live In London" cd, a "Live In London" dvd and a cool shirt. Thanks tons, guys, and see you again this summer in Germany (at the mighty Earthshaker Festival)
