The Heavy Music Awards (HMAs) are awards presented by The Heavy Group to recognize outstanding achievements in heavy music. It operates as both an annual awards ceremony and a live event. The first ceremony was held on 24 August 2017. Whilst its nominees are selected from a panel of people involved in the heavy metal scene, its winners are selected by an online vote.

The Heavy Music Awards (HMAs) is an annual event celebrating the best in rock, metal, and alternative music. Founded in 2017, the HMAs recognize artists, bands, producers, and other industry professionals through various award categories. The event is organized by the Heavy Group, a media company focusing on heavy music.

History

The Heavy Music Awards were conceived in late 2016 by Dave Bradley and Andy Pritchard, and announced on 1 March 2017 by their joint venture The Heavy Group. [1] [2] Pritchard has stated that they set up the awards with the intention of "[treating] heavy music as a legitimate art form", [3] with the hopes that the event would offer increased recognition and exposure for those involved in the scene/genre. [1] The inaugural Heavy Music Awards ceremony, held on 24 August 2017 at the House of Vans in London, received 97,000 votes. [4] [5] The ceremony was broadcast on the British TV channel Scuzz on 16 September 2017. [6] The 2018 edition, which took place on 22 August 2018 at KOKO in London, [7] received 131,000 votes. [4] The 2019 ceremony took place at the larger O2 Forum Kentish Town and was hosted by Laura Jane Grace of Against Me!. [3] [8]

In November 2019, the Heavy Music Awards moved its annual date from August to May. [9] The Heavy Music Awards 2020 was due to take place on 21 May 2020. [9] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, it was instead livestreamed on the Amazon Music UK Twitch channel on 3 September 2020, with its ceremony and live performers being filmed in differing locations. [10] [11] [12] The ceremony drew in 150,000 votes and was watched by 177,000 people online. [13] [14] [15] The 2021 edition Heavy Music Awards was held as both an in-person event (at the O2 Forum Kentish Town) and a livestream, and saw a sharp increase in voters; between 16 June and 14 July 2021, [16] the awards finalists collectively received over 1.4 million votes. [14] The livestream was shut down by Twitch after Milkie Way of Wargasm suffered a wardrobe malfunction that exposed her nipples whilst performing onstage with Trash Boat, leading the Heavy Music Awards channel to be striked for nudity and suspended for three days. [17] Way refused to apologize for the incident, whilst Trash Boat vocalist Tobi Duncan accused Twitch of using a double standard, as both musicians were wearing outfits that exposed their nipples during the performance. [17]

The 2023 edition was hosted at the OVO Arena Wembley, drawing in a crowd of 5,000 and receiving over 1.3 million votes from people in 161 countries. [18] [19] [20]

Awards process

Nominees are selected for the Heavy Music Awards from a panel of people involved in the heavy music industry, from the UK and internationally. [1] [4] They are invited to list their top three albums for any given category, given it has been released in the previous year (between 1 January and 31 December) and fits specific criteria. [1] The HMA has no say in selecting its finalists. [1] [21] The top 7 artists in each category are then listed as finalists that are voted on by the general public on the Heavy Music Awards website. [1] Its trophies are manufactured by Gaudio Awards. [22]

The Heavy Music Awards 2017 had an panel size of 300+ personnel, which has been expanded upon with its subsequent editions. [N 1] The panel for the Heavy Music Awards 2024 is made up of almost 1,000 personnel. [26] [27]

Nu metal is a subgenre of alternative metal that combines elements of heavy metal music with elements of other music genres such as hip hop, funk, industrial, and grunge. Nu metal rarely features guitar solos or other displays of musical technique, and emphasizes rhythm with instrumentation that is heavily syncopated. Nu metal guitarists typically use seven-string guitars that are down-tuned to produce a heavier sound. Vocal styles are often rhythmic and influenced by hip hop, and include singing, rapping, screaming and sometimes growling. DJs are occasionally featured to provide instrumentation such as sampling, turntable scratching and electronic background music. Nu metal is one of the key genres of the new wave of American heavy metal.
