“A star-studded affair with a multitude of metal celebrities in attendance and the likes of Gojira, Architects, Milk Teeth and more taking home awards.”

A democratic process, because it matters

The Heavy Music Awards process is simple.

At the beginning of each year, several hundred members of the music industry are invited to nominate their favourites from the previous calendar year in each of our open categories. These nominations are then tallied up to create shortlists for each category. The public then votes on each category, which decides the winners. As an organisation the HMAs have no say whatsoever in who gets nominated or who wins.

“Another strong year, with worthy winners, a stellar cast of presenters and a fantastic set of live acts throughout the night.”
