Last night, the eighth annual Heavy Music Awards took place at the renowned O2 Forum Kentish Town in London. Each year, the crème de la crème of the heavy music scene is celebrated here. A total of twelve bands took home awards in various categories.
Among the big winners of the night were Sleep Token, who snagged the trophy for Best Album with Take Me Back To Eden. Spiritbox triumphed in the Best International Artist category, while Electric Callboy took home the award for Best International Live Artist, thanks to their electrifying live performances.
Another highlight of the evening, besides the awards, were the four spectacular live performances by Neck Deep, Casey, Graphic Nature, and Unpeople, which sent chills down the spines of the sold-out crowd and raised funds for the HMA24 charity partner, Nordoff & Robbins. But enough words – here are all the winners at a glance.
