Black Sabbath veteran Ozzy Osbourne and Biffy Clyro both picked up prizes at this year’s Kerrang! Awards last night (June 9th), with LA rockers 30 Seconds To Mars collecting two awards.

Biffy Clyro are to be awarded the Best British Band prize at this year’s Nordoff Robbins O2 Silver Clef Awards, due to take place on July 1st.

Biffy Clyro are to release a new CD/DVD bundle of their gig at London’s Wembley Arena last December.

Manchester Orchestra‘s ‘Simple Math‘ is not strictly a concept album, but front man Andy Hull describes it as such. He admits the album was written during the first two years of his marriage, when his relationship with his wife reached a crisis point.

The album documents the near breakdown of their relationship, as well as its eventual recovery. He called it “a reaction to my mental, physical and marital failures.”

Their previous brand of guitar-driven rock might not sound like the right formula for delivering the kind of tortured anguish that this description invokes, but the difference between this and their previous offerings is that they’ve added a string section. As a result the album achieves a delicate balance of loss and hope, light and shade.
