A few weeks ago Roadrunner Records UK asked you to vote for the best album that came out on their label in 2011. As a result 'Heritage' came in second in the top 20 just behind our friends in Machine Head with their new album 'Unto The Locust'. Fantastic news of course and we like thank you all for voting! The full top 20 can be found here: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/page/News?news_id=116166
