The 'Psycho' hitmakers and the electronic rockers have been nominated for Best British Band alongside Bring Me The Horizon, Architects and last year's winners You Me At Six ahead of the star-studded ceremony at London's iconic Troxy on June 11, 2015.

Royal Blood, whose self-titled album was the fastest-selling debut British rock record in the UK in three years, will go head-to-head with Moose Blood, As It Is, Fort Hope and Ashestoangels for the Best British Newcomer title at the event, which will be hosted by Andrew W.K. and Skindred's Benji Webbe.

Meanwhile, AC/DC have been nominated for Best International Act, alongside Slipknot, Fall Out Boy, Sleeping With Sirens and All Time Low.

The 'Kids In the Dark' hitmakers are also up for Best Single, Best Fanbase and Best Event, but face stiff competition in the latter category from Foo Fighters for their secret UK gigs under the alias 'the Holy S***s' last September.

Speaking about this year's nominees, Kerrang! Editor James McMahon said: "The thing is, it's been an absolutely amazing year for rock - the diversity of the nominations, I believe, is testament to that.

"It's proof that rock is still the music of the masses, the passionate and the brave. Rock is still the most exciting thing you can put in your ears."

Voting starts in this week's Kerrang! magazine and on the website, Awards.kerrang.com, and will close on June 4, 2015.

Fans will also be able to purchase tickets to the event for the first time.
