MTV headbangers storm D.C.
This year has marked the return of metal. From the huge success of Korn's latest release to the rebirth of MTV's Headbanger's Ball, from major-label signings like Cradle of Filth and Lamb of God to Shadows Fall's record selling nearly 100,000 copies, there is no doubt that 2003 brought back long hair and black boots. When MTV's Headbanger's Ball tour hit D.C.'s 9:30 club last Tuesday it was a monument to metal's successful year.
