This year’s Heavy Music Awards will take place at the OVO Wembley Arena on May 26th.
Nova Twins, Architects and Biffy Clyro are among the nominees for the 2023 edition of the Heavy Music Awards.
Nova Twins are up for Best Album thanks to Supernova – one of our top picks of 2022 – and are also up for Best UK Artist and Best UK Live Artist, where they’ll compete with Biffy Clyro.
The awards’ Andy Pritchard has said: “Once again the HMA finalists showcase the spectacular breadth of talent across the rock and metal scene.”
To see so many different styles and sub-genres represented – in addition to the diversity across all the artists – proves once again that the heavy music landscape is as vibrant and non-apologetic as ever.
