They were revealed to the masses online and not a part of the show because why would anyone want to see Rock Artists on the program after all. Take a look and please enjoy that I’ve kept on including the Alternative categories as well.

As most of our readers know by now, the PiercingMetal site is always trying to up their content game by adding all sorts of different creative avenues. It’s been heavily entrenched in the Pop Culture scene with all the comics, film, television and toy content and since there are some topical awards shows to feature this post is going to pay some attention to one of them. The Game Awards show seems very interesting and before we get down to the nominees for this years awards let’s take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about it.

The Game Awards is an annual awards ceremony honoring achievements in the video game industry. Established in 2014, the shows are produced and hosted by game journalist Geoff Keighley, who worked on its predecessor, the Spike Video Game Awards, for over ten years. In addition to the awards, The Game Awards features premieres of upcoming games and new information on previously-announced titles. (c/o Wiki)

It was just a short time ago that the Recording Academy had announced the nominations for the 2024 Grammy Awards and as is the usual practice here at the Metal Media High Command HQ, I’ve culled that almost 100 category list to serve up the nominations for the Rock and Metal releases. I’ve even kept to the inclusion of the Alternative stuff as well since sometimes that gets really close to the kind of stuff we are listening to as fans. There were some interesting nominations this time around.

Best Rock Performance – For new vocal or instrumental solo, duo/group or collaborative rock recordings.

Sculptures Of Anything Goes – Arctic Monkeys
More Than A Love Song – Black Pumas
Not Strong Enough – Boygenius
Rescued – Foo Fighters
Lux Æterna – Metallica
