To the flowers music video deserves the win like I can't even begin to explain! It's the one single video that have made me feel more feels than any video ever. The song it self is amazing and a true standout on the album.
It always is in awards like these. Just enjoy bands getting recognition, even if they didn't win their categories. Also it works for discovering things you may missed out. I got hyped for 156/Silence bc i missed that release.
@@Joose oh is that right when they were many other good albums out there released in 2024 make them suffer new album over knocked loose an I put the boundaries album over knocked loose to and also the only reason why they got popular like they did because of Jimmy Kimmel. Everyone knows that if it had been another band like moth to flames the plot in you make them suffer I bet they’re popularity would’ve blew up too because people do not know metal they don’t listen to metal probably not and the only time they got introduced to it was the Jimmy Kimmel live and the Summer Olympics with gorjia but that was probably the only time they really have been introduced to it an I put grayscale new album over knocked loose album to an alpha wolf do I need to keep going? The ghost inside was better album then knocked loose
@@codyb6849Not disagreeing with you but if it wasn’t for the rise in popularity on social media before they were on Jimmy Kimmel show , I’m not sure if knocked loose would have gotten on Jimmy Kimmel. I don’t think Jimmy show really increased their popularity by that much.
Great list, Bogdan! Greetings from México, love seeing your community growing over the years, you do an amazing work for the bands you mention every time you make a video. Gotta love how ppl gonna get mad for KL blowing up so hard this year, they completely deserve the hype bc their music kicks ass. Also, big win for metal community for LP's return. Next year i want some new Loathe and i'm very hyped for new Spiritbox. Happy new year!
This was the year I really started getting into metal. So far, I've discovered and loved ERRA, Memphis May Fire, Bad Omens, Spiritbox (likely my favorite band), Breaking Benjamin (not metal but still one of my favorites), Sleep Token, Currents, and several more! Im enjoying the ride so far!
I feel like a lot of bands I've known and been a fan of for years brought forgettable/slightly disappointing albums this year, but bands I didn't know or didn't like before (Imminence, Eidola, Galleons, Night Verses, LMTF etc.) put out absolute gems
Love how, whether I agree or not, you’ll never sugarcoat your opinion and be honest as well as introducing me to really cool bands and albums, will definitely be here this time next year
Loved all the content this year! A ton of great music in 2024 and looking forward to all the great releases in 2025. P.S. Boundaries got robbed, 😂 all love though!!!
Knocked Loose have had an undeniably massive year and “suffocate” has played a massive part in that. No surprise to see them winning the majority of awards even if it is a little repetitive. Would like to see your personal picks alongside the fans votes to see the comparison and variety. Can’t wait to hear what 2025 will cook up 🔥
Crazy to me that Countparts didnt win EP of the year and that Knocked Loose won album. Its a good album but im gonna be honest, the other 4 of the top 5 are ahead of it for me XD
along with Boundaries... as everyone know it was going to happen But crazy 156/Silence wasn't even in the top 5 lmfao but it's the price of not being overhyped underrated fs
Imminence got done dirty I am shocked that The Black by Imminence didn't win SOTY. I think Graphic Nature definitely deserved to be top 5 albums as well, they were AOTY for me.
i personally dont think 2024 was better than 2023 (Ill glaze Invent animate to the end of time) but im not going to complain, i think the past 2 years have brought the BEST music releases in a while. Im so happy to be alive in this time.
While I personally wouldn't consider this year as good as 2023, it is really cool to finally agree with the popular take this year. Knocked Loose deserved to sweep this and all the other awards they've been included in. They've gotten big by sticking to their guns and becoming heavier and heavier, while also not being afraid to do some interesting experimentation that makes the album feel varied. In my opinion, it is the best album of the 2020's so far. This year has also set up 2025 to be an amazing year musically, with new Killswitch Engage, Spiritbox, Burn Eternal, Whitechapel, and August Burns Red's Thrill Seeker rerecording, which is already a lineup to compete with this year. I am also speculating that Converge, Godseyes, Frontierer, and Loathe will drop at some point.
Hey man, I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the band PassCode, but they could be worth a listen if you're in the mood for something a little familiar, yet different They are a japanese band that do a combination of metal and electro/rock stuff Flavor of blue Maze of mind SKILLAWAKE TRACE Taking you out those are probably good tracks to check out if you're up for it
We had the Sleep Token awards last year and now the Kmocked Loose awards this year 😂. Still love both bands though. Also, it's despicable that Boundaries came in at #5, but I guess it's cause it's not as popular as the other picks.
Boundaries AOTY snub. Also shocked that Like Moths to Flames didn’t score higher in any category, even if just for album art. Keep up the great content Bogdan!
Yeah I think Knocked loose deserve the hype, and it’s a cracking album, but a little overhyped, and I don’t get the suffocate hype😭 But a great year for metal, hard to live up to 2023 LMTF and cane hill criminally underrated 🍺
No, I hope they get bigger and they go even heavier. A band like Knocked Loose getting huge is fantastic for the scene, and fantastic for the moral perception of the scene as well. It’s better to be represented by bands like Knocked Loose and Spiritbox than it is to be represented by Falling in Reverse or something.
7:28 i already know Suffocate is going to win this one and it's well deserved, but i feel like BMTH would have had a much better fighting chance with the Underoath collab rather than Aurora 2:50 To The Flowers was another well deserved one, that song literally changed my standards for what a music video should be like
Thanks for all your hard work for another year Bogdan. I’ve found so many new bands I probably would’ve never found if I didn’t watch your vids. This year the big ones were Windwaker, Allt, 156/Silence and the hog father himself Bilmuri. Hope you’re not still struggling with the burnout you talked about before you short break earlier in the year. Stay safe, stay healthy and all the best for another year of banger content in 2025 ❤
Love Knocked Loose but that album isn’t even top 3 of their own. I think it’s safe to assume that most Knocked Loose listeners don’t even listen to the other 4 nominated bands. Boundaries tops KL and BMTH album for me
Once again, like Moths to Flames gets thrown under the bus like always. These guys can't catch a break, and it sucks to see because there are very few bands that put out music that good, that consistently.
As a music video and song To the flowers broke me. Beautiful and tragical. Even tho i love Northlane, id vote for Counterparts for EP of the year. They just deserve it lets be honest. AOTY is Boundaries - Death is little more. No fucking competition.
@hydrus2076 I know but Bogdan has featured Boundaries and 156 a lot on his channel so naturally I figured for the HxC awards they wouldve won in a lot of the categories. Not even winning one category was surprising. I guess its part due to the ability to choose 5 options so most people likely picked both Boundaries and Knocked Loose for the same category, myself included.
My album of the year to me is alleviate DMNS and my EP of the year is disembodied tyrant synestia the poetic edda for 2024 my single of the year is fit for a king keeping secrets they put there all in that song my single for 2024
I'm kidding but on the knocked loose thing, that album has really amazing production with mid songs. There were so many bangers this year, shit was dope as fuck let's do it again
I appreciate KL but you lot saying its the best album/ song ect needs to listen to other stuff. I tear the fabric of life is nothing compared to their album. Big up bogdanh though 🖤🖤
My personal picks for each category: Best cover art: Counterparts - Heaven Let Them Die Best music video: While She Sleeps - To the Flowers Best breakthrough: Livealie Best comeback: Want to say Livealie/Casey/Ghost Atlas, but the correct answer really is Whitechapel, and I say that as someone who loved Kin Best collab: Boundaries and Marcus Vik - Blame's Burden Best buzz: Knocked Loose (as evidenced by the video) Band to watch for 2025: I can't bring myself to say Loathe for the third year in a row, so I'll go with Spiritbox Best EP: If combining them like the video did, then The Plot in You - Vol. 1, 2, 3; if based on single EPs, then Counterparts - Heaven Let Them Die Was 2024 better than 2023: I wouldn't say so, there are only two albums that match my top five from '23 Best song: Bring Me the Horizon - Dig It Best album: Bring Me the Horizon - Post Human: Nex Gen

Like Moths to Flames still wins in my heart for the best song, best album, and best artist ❤
To the flowers music video deserves the win like I can't even begin to explain! It's the one single video that have made me feel more feels than any video ever. The song it self is amazing and a true standout on the album.
Agreed
The fact that each and every member had a different role on the video production as an actual crew blew my mind. They so deserve it.
Band to watch 2025 for me will remain LANDMVRKS x)
My most anticipated album in 2025
This felt more like a popularity contest than anything else
Isn't that any award show? Especially when its voted by the audience?
It always is in awards like these. Just enjoy bands getting recognition, even if they didn't win their categories. Also it works for discovering things you may missed out. I got hyped for 156/Silence bc i missed that release.
That's literally what voting is...
@@depracated Most tend to have a panel of professionals of some sort. But otherwise yes, it's just that.
as soon as knocked loose won best cover art over 156/silence i knew
I blame Jimmy Kimmel for this
Lol. JUNT JUNT
I blame Knocked Loose for releasing an absolute monster of an album, accompanied by great videos.
@@Joose oh is that right when they were many other good albums out there released in 2024 make them suffer new album over knocked loose an I put the boundaries album over knocked loose to and also the only reason why they got popular like they did because of Jimmy Kimmel.

KL album was so mid. Laugh Tracks was even better.
Allt is everything
Great list, Bogdan!

The fact Cane Hill didn't even hit top 5 is sad, that album was so good.
They were in my top 5. Amazing record!
clicked with me like little to nothing else last year ... bummer

Loved the in memorian lol. And thanks for other year discovering bands for us, man. Happy new year!
Boundaries #1 but i'll take top 5
This
Love how, whether I agree or not, you’ll never sugarcoat your opinion and be honest as well as introducing me to really cool bands and albums, will definitely be here this time next year
Loved all the content this year! A ton of great music in 2024 and looking forward to all the great releases in 2025.
P.S. Boundaries got robbed, 😂 all love though!!!
Not having Half Me in top5 ep is sad

Can’t wait to hear what 2025 will cook up 🔥
I think every single band mentioned in this video is great. Lots of great talent.
Crazy to me that Countparts didnt win EP of the year and that Knocked Loose won album. Its a good album but im gonna be honest, the other 4 of the top 5 are ahead of it for me XD
agreed, I thought the knocked loose album was good, but it didn't blow me away like it did for a lot of other people.
agree, also its not even KLs best album. laugh tracks and a different shade of blue are waaaaaay better
Happy New Year to everyone, and to you Bogdan!!! 🎇🎆
156/Silence got robbed 🥲
along with Boundaries... as everyone know it was going to happen
But crazy 156/Silence wasn't even in the top 5 lmfao but it's the price of not being overhyped
underrated fs
SO HYPED!
Happy new year everyone!!! ❤
Imminence got done dirty I am shocked that The Black by Imminence didn't win SOTY. I think Graphic Nature definitely deserved to be top 5 albums as well, they were AOTY for me.
God yall some boring ass people 😂😂 everyone voting for knocked loose on literally every single RUclipsrs award is crazy…
I’m shocked Counterparts didn’t win EP and Boundaries was only top 5 for album of the year
Death is Little More is AOTY. I cannot be swayed from this.
i personally dont think 2024 was better than 2023 (Ill glaze Invent animate to the end of time) but im not going to complain, i think the past 2 years have brought the BEST music releases in a while. Im so happy to be alive in this time.
Thank you Void Of Vision 🖤🖤
I feel like Resistor is a band still slept on. Y'all need to listen to them so underrated rn
Yall really slept on Like moths to flames this year

Knocked Loose deserves every bit of what they've gotten this year. So proud of them.
Also, the love for Allt warms my heart.
It’s weird I haven’t seen Alpha Wolf’s album mentioned on many other channels but they were easily on of my top releases from this year
Man as a firefighter seeing you put a candlelight right UNDER A CHRISTMAS TREE ON A PAPER GIFT tilted me a bit 😂.
LOOL don't worry it was not UNDER it, just next to it, I made sure of it lolol
Hey man, I'm not sure if you've ever heard of the band PassCode, but they could be worth a listen if you're in the mood for something a little familiar, yet different
They are a japanese band that do a combination of metal and electro/rock stuff
Flavor of blue
Maze of mind
SKILLAWAKE
TRACE
Taking you out
those are probably good tracks to check out if you're up for it
Happy New Year from the Philippines.
Also OUR HOLLOW OUR HOME R.I.P😢😢😢😢😢
Surprised 156 wasn’t in the top 5 albums
crazy robbery 😂
Pretty much the greatest discovery in 2024 is Midwinter, they have released an album today, can recommend
We had the Sleep Token awards last year and now the Kmocked Loose awards this year 😂. Still love both bands though. Also, it's despicable that Boundaries came in at #5, but I guess it's cause it's not as popular as the other picks.
Was a great year
Boundaries AOTY snub. Also shocked that Like Moths to Flames didn’t score higher in any category, even if just for album art.
Keep up the great content Bogdan!
Yeah bmth being nominated for best cover art but not lmtf just sucks
Knocked Loose deserves it all honestly but I'm surprised 156/Silence didnt show up at all here... it's my aoty for 2024 with KL at number 2
RIP Ithaka
Thank you for highlighting artworks that were not done by ia
Need a tour of the year category, maybe even a tour poster one also
Yeah I think Knocked loose deserve the hype, and it’s a cracking album, but a little overhyped, and I don’t get the suffocate hype😭
But a great year for metal, hard to live up to 2023
LMTF and cane hill criminally underrated 🍺
Shocked LP didn't make top 5 for album and sad that Negative Spaces by Poppy didn't get top 5 because that was my album of the year
Poppy is really her own category of great music! I love her!
Negative spaces I'd absolutely in my too 3 albums of the year
The knocked loose hype can die out now, thank you :)
"oh no, a band got popular! I must hate it now!"
No, I hope they get bigger and they go even heavier. A band like Knocked Loose getting huge is fantastic for the scene, and fantastic for the moral perception of the scene as well. It’s better to be represented by bands like Knocked Loose and Spiritbox than it is to be represented by Falling in Reverse or something.
I'm just glad While She Sleeps won best video. That shit made me tear up
i get this is a popularity contest but my god some of these winners :/
Surprised Poetic Eda didn’t get the best EP. By far the most unique EP this year for me.
Still think Landmvrks and Deftones should've been on artists to watch
That Landmvrks album that's coming is going to be full of bangers
Counterparts Robbed
7:28 i already know Suffocate is going to win this one and it's well deserved, but i feel like BMTH would have had a much better fighting chance with the Underoath collab rather than Aurora
2:50 To The Flowers was another well deserved one, that song literally changed my standards for what a music video should be like
14:52 not including As I Lay Dying can't have been just cause he forgot XD
Surprised not to see LOTUS of Avralize on top5 songs of the year😮
Thanks for all your hard work for another year Bogdan. I’ve found so many new bands I probably would’ve never found if I didn’t watch your vids. This year the big ones were Windwaker, Allt, 156/Silence and the hog father himself Bilmuri. Hope you’re not still struggling with the burnout you talked about before you short break earlier in the year. Stay safe, stay healthy and all the best for another year of banger content in 2025 ❤
how was music video of the year not Top 10 Statues that Cried Blood, that video is insanity
Even if they weren't nominated i reckon Sylosis' The Path is the best EP this year, so fucking heavy and good
Welcome to the internet...popularity contest.
It's literally a POPULAR vote, of course it's a popularity contest.
the album that blew my mind in 2024 was "devoured by the mouth of hell - heriot"
Our Promise yesss been a big fan of their’s now for a couple years so good!
Love Knocked Loose but that album isn’t even top 3 of their own. I think it’s safe to assume that most Knocked Loose listeners don’t even listen to the other 4 nominated bands. Boundaries tops KL and BMTH album for me
Will there be a follow up video like nik nocturnal where he breaks down the voting?
Once again, like Moths to Flames gets thrown under the bus like always. These guys can't catch a break, and it sucks to see because there are very few bands that put out music that good, that consistently.
As a music video and song To the flowers broke me. Beautiful and tragical. Even tho i love Northlane, id vote for Counterparts for EP of the year. They just deserve it lets be honest. AOTY is Boundaries - Death is little more. No fucking competition.
As I lay dying didn't make the in memoriam list?!?
lets goooo
OMG I CAN'T WAIT!
My choice for best comeback album goes to KITTIE for their 2024 album, Fire. Kittie proved again why they are legendary
BMTH @ 2, Boundaries @ 5, and no 156 in the top 5 is w i l d.
Given how much Bogdan enjoyed Boundaries and 156 im completely shocked neither of them won anything. Boundaries is still AOTY to me at least.
@@dravenripley9468it was popular vote not Bogdan deciding it.
@hydrus2076 I know but Bogdan has featured Boundaries and 156 a lot on his channel so naturally I figured for the HxC awards they wouldve won in a lot of the categories. Not even winning one category was surprising. I guess its part due to the ability to choose 5 options so most people likely picked both Boundaries and Knocked Loose for the same category, myself included.
Linkin Park on thumbnail means the're gonna be rated high right? RIGHT? 😂
For me, best song of the year is What if I Burn - Bury Tomorrow.
My album of the year to me is alleviate DMNS and my EP of the year is disembodied tyrant synestia the poetic edda for 2024 my single of the year is fit for a king keeping secrets they put there all in that song my single for 2024
not biggest discovery, but most enjoyable has been "Alienist" and their ep "Love/hate"
Great awards show man, still #YOTM in my heart, my goats
YOTM every year🙂↕️
Boundaries beat the fuck out of every album dropped this year. Counterparts has EP of the year.
This is the true cannon of 2024. Accept or be wrong.
I'm kidding but on the knocked loose thing, that album has really amazing production with mid songs.
There were so many bangers this year, shit was dope as fuck let's do it again
👊🏼
Wait wtf, Twelve Foot Ninja broke up? I had no idea :(
Linkin Park over BMTH for comeback damn near almost made me turn this off
Damn no CELL even in the category for EP of the year? Shit ripped harder than alladat
I'm waiting for new:
Loathe
Deftones
Nine Inch Nails
Moodring
in 2025.
Cane Hill got robbed :c Happy new year everyone :3
lfgo, i'm so ready
Thank you bogdan!
Going to be controversial and say knocked loose deserved mos tof what they won
Knocked Loose are too OP..
Avralize for the winnnnnn
Lol bogdan followers are just a bunch of KL fanboys ig
...it's literally a popular vote popularity contest and you're surprised one of the most popular bands won the awards?
people watching not even being in the top 5 aoty is crazy
Paleface Swiss got nooooo love from anyone!
2024 was the year of unnecessary Knocked Loose glazing...
One last comment in the year 2024 for the algorithm gods 🦅🦅🦅🫡🔨🔨
For me the album of the year is definitely from 156/Silence
I was hoping that allt would win aoty, but was expecting boundaries to. Needless to say, the aoty list shocked me lol
I appreciate KL but you lot saying its the best album/ song ect needs to listen to other stuff. I tear the fabric of life is nothing compared to their album. Big up bogdanh though 🖤🖤
Veil of maya 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 noooooooo
No disembodied tyrant is criminal
My personal picks for each category:
Best cover art: Counterparts - Heaven Let Them Die
Best music video: While She Sleeps - To the Flowers
Best breakthrough: Livealie
Best comeback: Want to say Livealie/Casey/Ghost Atlas, but the correct answer really is Whitechapel, and I say that as someone who loved Kin
Best collab: Boundaries and Marcus Vik - Blame's Burden
Best buzz: Knocked Loose (as evidenced by the video)
Band to watch for 2025: I can't bring myself to say Loathe for the third year in a row, so I'll go with Spiritbox
Best EP: If combining them like the video did, then The Plot in You - Vol. 1, 2, 3; if based on single EPs, then Counterparts - Heaven Let Them Die
Was 2024 better than 2023: I wouldn't say so, there are only two albums that match my top five from '23
Best song: Bring Me the Horizon - Dig It
Best album: Bring Me the Horizon - Post Human: Nex Gen
How is it even fair to count 3 eps as one….was literally just an album with a fancy rollout lmao. Counterparts robbed
Am i the only dude in the world who doesent care for knocked loose??
Half Me EP is not a Top 5 in the Best EP ?
I'm shocked, meh
