The finalists for the third annual Heavy Music Awards have been announced. Following nominations from almost 600 industry insiders representing hundreds of organisations, the shortlists represent a true cross-section of tastes across all corners of the heavy music world. The Heavy Music Awards take place at O2 Forum Kentish Town, London on Thursday 22 August.


HMAs co-founder Dave Bradley said, “We’re overwhelmed by the support the HMAs have received from the industry at large, and excited that the many hundreds of individuals who nominated have once again produced shortlists that show the strength and diversity of the heavy music landscape in 2019.

“The Heavy Music Awards are built around a philosophy of inclusion and positivity – we’re incredibly proud to promote that message and we can’t wait to celebrate once again at the biggest HMAs yet”


Canadian punk heroes Cancer Bats are set to close the show with a  blistering set. Support comes from Liverpool’s Loathe alongside the genre-destroying Nova Twins and punk duo Delaire The Liar opening proceedings.
