As I am always trying to up the content game here on the PiercingMetal site, I’ve decided to add another one of those awards show rundowns to the mix. Many of you already know that we have a very strong Pop Culture section where I speak and share news about the comic book industry, film and television updates and the latest coolness in toys and collectibles. Though we don’t get to do much gaming content outside of a release announcement or trailer, I figured it would be a good idea to include the nominations and eventual winners of The Game Awards. This awards ceremony was first established in 2014 according to my Wiki research and now for the first time ever makes an appearance on the PiercingMetal website for the gamers in our readership. Let’s take a look at the nominations for this years honors.

A Plague Tale: Requiem (Asobo Studio/Focus Entertainment)
Elden Ring (FromSoftware/Bandai Namco)
God of War Ragnarök (Sony Santa Monica/SIE)

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards Winners have been revealed in a lengthy list of categories and we’ve discussed that over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” earlier this morning. This post is to shine a keen focus on the categories that interest our demographic of readers the most and those are the Rock and Metal ones. Since it was easy to present in this fashion, I’ve once again included all the nominees for these same categories but I omitted the “Best Music Video” in the winner list since ACDC did NOT go home with the trophy. Now let’s take a look at these winners, may I have the envelope please.

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

Shot In The Dark – AC/DC
Know You Better (Live From Capitol Studio A) – Black Pumas
