Some statements about the ROCK THE NATION AWARD and its huge success so far:

Stefan Hattinger (Rock The Nation/NoiseArt Records):
"The
 RTN Award 2010 in my opinion was again a huge success and with SKULL 
FIST we have found a real diamond that´ll bring us lots of joy in the 
future, that´s for sure! The award has established itself and has become
 an important institution in the world of heavy music. We´re looking 
forward to plenty of band applications and can´t wait to see and hear 
the most voted bands!"

Skull Fist:
"There
 I was just minding my own mind when I got the call that Skull Fist won 
the Rock the Nation Contest! Good thing I wasnt wearing my good spandex!
 On behalf of the other fist's in the fist I am wickedly syked to be 
rockin the nation with rock the nation. I have been very aware over the 
years with the concept of art coming from noise and since this is a 
great concept and an absolutely gnarly label I am proud to be loud 
catching the magic power of Noise Art Records! All the heavy metal dudes
 and dudettes of planet earth be prepared for the gnarliest of gnarly 
times and be sure to exercise those necks.. You don't want to pull a 
muscle out there! Skull Fist will continue its quest for world 
domination alongside Rock the Nation and Noise Art and will forever RIDE
 THE BEAST. On the rise, rising out together. calling out, our forces 
multiply. I can see, there's nothing else to live for. THE TRUE MUST 
KEEP THE SPIRIT ALIVE!"

SUICIDAL ANGELS:
"Two years passed 
since we won the RTN award. Through the years, we had the chance to 
participate in some great tours with bands like Kreator, Exodus, Death 
Angel, Kataklysm and Overkill, great slots in festivals like Wacken, 
Summer Breeze, Metalcamp, Metalfest, Party:san and many many more. We 
are now about to record our new album which will be released early 2012 
and we´ll as well hit the road again on some damn fine mighty tour! Stay
 tuned and horns up for the RTN award!"

STEELWING:
"Two years 
have passed since we were announced as winners of the Rock The Nation 
Award 2009, and we could not have hoped for a better boost in our 
career! We've released an album through the perfect metal label there is
 for us, we're going on tour all over Europe with Blind Guardian and 
Sabaton, playing in front of thousands of metalheads... it goes without 
saying that we've had amazing years so far! All thanks to the organizers
 of the RTN Award, and the enormous support we received from the fans 
who voted for us!"
