Attention Swedish fans! Opeth has once again been nominated for a P3 Guld Award in the Rock/Metal category and for first the first time in the 8 year history of the awards it'll be up to the public to cast their votes rather than industry professionals. Opeth bagged the award in 2003 and has since been nominated many times yet didn’t win so it's about time we actually got one again so please make sure to go 'here' (http://sverigesradio.se/sida/gruppsida.aspx?programid=3964&grupp=13049) and vote for us!

 

Note that voting is only open to Swedes!
