Stam1na prevailed Finnish Metal Awards 2008

Winners of the Finnish Metal Awards were announced yesterday in the Finnish Metal Expo. The Prizes, voted by the public through the Internet, SMS, and coupons in Inferno and Miasma magazines (total 19.472 votes), were pretty much all taken by Stam1na, supported by Diablo. So quite a year for the Sakara Records who has also signed the demo band of the year, "FM2000", whose first is already recorded and will be out very soon.
