The Heavy music awards started in 2017 and are fast becoming the Brit awards for Heavy music! It is tonight so I thought I would give my predictions!
Heavy Music Awards 2023: The Finalists
BEST ALBUM
Architects - The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit Bad Omens - The Death of Peace of Mind Ghost - Impera Halestorm - Back From The Dead Nova Twins - Supernova Slipknot - The End, So Far Vukovi – NULA
This was difficult Vukovi is a close second for me, but I just loved the direct Slipknot took with The End, So Far, so for me they’ll be taking gold!
BEST BREAKTHROUGH ALBUM
Bloodywood - Rakshak Cassyette - Sad Girl Mixtape Charlotte Sands - Love And Other Lies Heriot - Profound Morality Static Dress - Rouge Carpet Disaster Wargasm - EXPLICIT: The MiXXXtape Witch Fever – Congregation
Cassyette has this one for me
BEST UK ARTIST
Bob Vylan Creeper Holding Absence Malevolence Nova Twins Sleep Token Vukovi
This is an impossible choice! My heart says Creeper or Holding Absence but my head says Sleep Token, I actually can’t choose with this category!
BEST INTERNATIONAL ARTIST
Bad Omens Electric Callboy Ghost Halestorm I Prevail Polyphia Spiritbox
I think Bad Omens will just pip to the post with this one
BEST UK LIVE ARTIST
Biffy Clyro Creeper Enter Shikari Neck Deep Nova Twins Skindred Vukovi
Again all of these artists deserve the top spot but Biffy always deliver some of the most high energy gigs I’ve ever seen
BEST INTERNATIONAL LIVE ARTIST
Alexisonfire Electric Callboy Ghost Halestorm My Chemical Romance Parkway Drive Turnstile
Maybe it’s for nostalgic reasons but its been amazing having My Chem live again
BEST BREAKTHROUGH LIVE ARTIST

I’m just a big Cassyette fan!

BEST SINGLE
Architects - When We Were Young Bring Me The Horizon - sTraNgeRs Creeper - Ghost Brigade Enter Shikari - The Void Stares Back ft. Wargasm Ghost - Call Me Little Sunshine Ithaca - They Fear Us Neck Deep – STFU
Bring me as I think they have grown so much in the last few years and really are pushing the boundaries of what they can achieve on such a huge scale, and taking heavy music to the mainstream.
BEST PRODUCTION
Architects - The Classic Symptoms of a Broken Spirit Bad Omens - The Death of Peace of Mind Halestorm - Back From The Dead Ithaca - They Fear Us Rolo Tomassi - Where Myth Becomes Memory Static Dress - Rouge Carpet Disaster Vukovi - NULA
I’ve always loved Architects production, I think they make everything sound so epic.
