Metal Academy 2023 Awards - The Guardians - Gallery Edition (time to get your ratings in!)
So with the start of a new year it's once again time to have a look at the covers for all the releases for each clan. I personally like to rate a whole stack of covers all at once, rather than doing them one at a time throughout the year, as it allows me to get a better feel for where each cover sits in comparison to others. With that in mind, I've just rated every cover for releases in The Guardians for 2023.
Below are the releases that are currently competing for the prestigious 2023 The Guardians Cover of the Year Award (i.e. they rate at least 3.7 and have 3 or more ratings). The winner will be announced on the 1st of February, so there's still time to get your ratings in.
Elvenking - Reader of the Runes – Rapture
Jag Panzer - The Hallowed
Kamelot - The Awakening
Sorcerer - Reign of the Reaper
Delain - Dark Waters
Sabaton - Heroes of the Great War
Bloodbound - Tales From the North
Gatekeeper - From Western Shores
Smoulder - Violent Creed of Vengeance
Burning Witches - The Dark Tower
If you want to contribute and rate some covers, the easiest way is to go to The Gallery and select The Guardians and 2023.
I look forward to seeing which release gets up for the win!
