(Sleazeroxx) The resurgence of heavy metal music was underlined yesterday when AC/DC and Iron Maiden received three nominations between them in the shortlists for the 2009 Brit Awards. [Hello? metal never went anywhere, it just hasn't been on MTV.]

The two bands, which were at the peak of their fame 25 years ago, were nominated alongside contemporary acts such as the Killers, the Verve and Kings of Leon.

Iron Maiden, whose first British No 1 album, The Number of the Beast, topped the charts in 1982, feature in the British Live Act category. AC/DC are nominated in the International Group and International Album categories, winning recognition for their latest album, Black Ice, which topped the charts in October. - more on this story
