Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards

The following is a list of the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards winners.

History

The Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards were conceived by Metal Hammer magazine editor Chris Ingham, along with John O'Sullivan and Dave Bianchi, and were first held at the Kentish Town Forum in London in 2003. From its inception, the event was produced by John O'Sullivan and organized by the magazine’s events team.

The show was owned by Future Publishing until 2013, then operated by TeamRock from 2014 to 2016, and was repurchased by Future in 2017 following TeamRock’s collapse.
