Bullet For My Valentine led the way at this year’s Kerrang! Awards, collecting two prizes.

The Welsh band were named Best British Group for the third year running and Best Live Act at a ceremony in London.

Paramore, fronted by Hayley Williams, collected Best Album for ‘Brand New Eyes’, while 30 Seconds To Mars won Best International Group.

Other winners included Biffy Clyro, for Best Video, and Motley Crue, who were inducted to Kerrang’s Hall Of Fame.

The music magazine's editor Nicole Browne said it was “brilliant to see that our British rock and metal scene is so highly regarded and supported”.

Meanwhile, an Icon Award was given to former Black Sabbath frontman Ronnie James Dio, who died in May.

Artists and guests also paid tribute to former Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, who also died in May.
