The 2009 Kerrang! Awards will be presented by two metal icons, the magazine has revealed.
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian and Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor will host the event on August 3rd at a secret London location.
Ian said that it will be "awesome" to present the awards with the Slipknot man, who he regards as a "good friend".
He told the publication: "I've done it the past few years on my own and let me just say it gets a little lonely up there. I really can't wait."
The rocker added that he hopes Taylor will not wear his trademark Slipknot mask while onstage at the ceremony, as he finds it a "little disconcerting".
Furthermore, Taylor commented that he is worried about keeping up with Ian at the awards, suggesting that he will have to keep up his energy with lots of coffee.
