Special Ops Nominated for New Music Award for Best Metal

Ringing in the upcoming release of their third studio album, “Through the Heart of the Infidel,” Montreal's Special Ops are excited to announce their New Music Award nomination for the Best Metal category for their song "Anger is Creeping" released off their last release, "Phase 2: Amidst The Madness." This is Special Ops second award nomination, having previously being nominated at the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards for "Best Rock Song."

Adding this award nomination to their ranks, Abe Froman commented: "'Anger is Creeping' is definitely a huge fan favourite and for it to be nominated for Best Metal is truly a great honour. We truly like to say thanks to our fans and the New Music Awards for the nomination."

The award ceremony will act as a wrap up to the Barrie New Music Festival and is being held on Sunday Sept 13th 2009 at The Mansion Night Club (34 Dunlop St. East, Barrie). This year's awards ceremony will feature over 20 different award categories for independent artists. The New Music Awards will be ticketed separately from the New Music Fest. Admission at the door will be $5 for wristband holders and $10 for the general public.

In addition to their nomination and upcoming album launch in Montreal, QC on September 12th at Cabaret, Special Ops have decided to overhaul their webpage in order to offer fans a new revamped look and plenty of new content. Head over to www.opsmission.com for all your Special Ops info.
