We at Wikimetal hope that bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Kiss, and others will remain the major headliners of festivals for many years to come.

But we also know that for the Metal movement, which has lasted for over 40 years, to endure forever, a new wave of bands from the new generation has to grow, mature, and manage to place themselves on that level where the Gods of Metal are.

Therefore, this week's poll pits new Heavy Metal bands against each other. We've listed some bands that emerged after the year 2000 to imagine which ones will be future headliners.

Check out a clip from each of the bands and vote! Leave other bands that could also be in the poll in the comments:
