For the second time in HeadbangersBlog.com history, we've got a two way tie for Your Vote Counts. Instead of demanding a recount and spending the rest of the day counting hanging chads we've declared a tie between Five Finger Death Punch's "The Way of the Fist" and Children of Bodom's "Smile Pretty For the Devil." Both will return for the next edition of MTV2's "Headbangers Ball" on Saturday night at 11 p.m. EST. Read more...

Let's start the morning with a cup of coffee and the brand new video by Children of Bodom, "Smile Pretty For the Devil." What a cool title. Makes us think of a four year old girl we know who wears flowery dresses all the time and flashes the devil's horns and a winning grin to anyone who aims a camera her way. The song comes from the band's latest album Blooddrunk, and the clip was directed by Sandra Marschner. "Smile Pretty For the Devil" will premiere on-air on Saturday's "Headbangers Ball," which starts this week at its new time, 11 p.m.
