I actually think it may have been funnier to lose and become a 3x Nik Nocturnal Award Loser, but hey, I'll take it, and thank you to everyone that voted, and also thank you to everyone that hates me, my voice, and how I look and comments on every one of my videos to tell me. You're the real heroes. 🤘🤘
What does tank the tech working for electric callboy, crossfitters, and vegans have in common? They'll all tell you within a few seconds of meeting them 😂😂
OOOH, more surprises! Hey, Nik, this recap is really interesting! Also, you watching/filming/screaming during voting tabulation irl is some serious fire Fun Metal Things too!!! Thanks for all that you do! Happy holidays to you & Paula!
I still think that Nik should figure out a way to attach music to the google form so that we can listen to each nomination for a category (like each breakdown part) and vote more accurately. Otherwise it feels like people are just picking their favorite bands without listening to any of the other crazy things. Just a suggestion :)
@@konuka_ame ..I knew every single song of every single band mentioned. Metalcore isn't even my main thing. How the fuck are you guys so clueless? Listen to more music. Don't yap on about something that isn't possible, legal or ok because you're too lazy to liten to music.
I still can't believe Muder8 didn't even place top 5 for callout of the year. I'm cool with Blinding Faith winning it its one of my favorite KL songs but Muder8 was one of my personal songs of the year and my favorite callout to a song ever.
nobody asked but my top album of the year was the like moths to flames album and i really wish they got more recognition. fucking incredible front to backl
You’re literally pioneering new grounds and nurturing this sweet-ass music community with what you’re doing, Sir Nik. Keep it up and don’t burn yourself out! Well done on the awards. Epic turnout. Love you, legend
Definite voting and ceremony next year, Nik! Maybe live event? A slick velour jacket next? Do you think that the socials sharing/not sharing biased the results and overall engagement at all? This year’s was a thrill to vote in and also a great way to catch some tracks and/or records that I had forgotten to spin. Stoked for metal and music through 2025 with the excitements of late 2024, and Sweetwater was a perfect partner for this..shoutout to their sales engineering staff. I hope that there might be the groundwork of a conversation with a certain thirst-oriented company…😏 merry Christmas and happy holidays, eh bud?
Welcome to every fan vote ever to exist. It is why most awards given out are not entirely decided by fan vote. Fan vote can play a part, but a second or even third group trying to stick to what the category is supposed to be can produce better results. It will never be perfect, though, so it kinda comes down to what you want the award to be.
My brother Alex works at Sweetwater and worked on this production with you, super cool to see for both of you! Hope next year can have an audience, would definitely drive down for that!
Big improvement from last year, love the variety of the nominations, so that one band didn't run away with everything (not that it can't be deserved, just that I think award shows are for showcasing art, rather than stating what artist is already doing 'the best'). Next year, maybe consider a preliminary voting round, to both expand the categories but also to cut down options for the final voting? Maybe more genre-specific categories? Metal-things go brrrrr
preliminary voting with write-ins would go crazy, and if one of the write-ins does great and one option isnt chosen very much, then swap it for final voting
Loved watching the awards. Really cool to see how much better they get each year! The only feedback I have is that it would be nice to see other subgenres be represented a bit more as well. I know you're mostly a core focused creator. But we had so many cool songs/albums/news related to stuff like death, black, thrash, power and anything in between.
Your Metal show is literally one of the things I have to look forward to everywhere and without fail love it, laugh. This and musicians mansion could run all year and id watch
Nick Schendzielos not winning bassist of the year, being the most technical, melodical, unique, iconic and musical out of them all had me mad. Not gonna lie. But hey, that's life.
Brilliant event Nik . Next Year lets go even bigger and make it like streamer awards with a website and live show event would be sick seeing all metal bands coming to the event and chill.
Is there a reason the Spiritbox ft. Tatiana Circle With Me collab wasn't on the list for collab song of the year? Am guessing because they only released an official video of it rather than an audio track?
The nominees were songs composed/released by two artists together. Circle with me is a Spiritbox song, Tatiana singing with them live does not make it a collab song. It is amazing for sure, but not for this category.
I know Dealer was canceled but I love that band and I am sad they weren't nominated for anything. They have been in my top 5 artists for two years in a row.
Great show man. Cringy at times, but great overall. Some live audience whould make it better. You alone there on the stage clapping all the time was funny :)

Hey, aren't you the guy who works for Electric Callboy?
Yo mate is that you that works for those german weirdos?
Congrats Tank! You really deserve it :D
Aren't you on tour with Electric Callboy?
Holy shit dudes, Electric Callboys tour manager replied to Nik!!!!
Fun fact: Tank The Tech works for Electric Callboy. Bet you did not know that.
I appreciate that little snapple fact
I didn't not know that, in case you didn't want to not know.
If only he could speak more openly about it..
What does tank the tech working for electric callboy, crossfitters, and vegans have in common? They'll all tell you within a few seconds of meeting them 😂😂
Everyone knows that! Your an idiot if you didnt.
We need actual audiences for 2025 show
I second this
How tho? It doesn't get any views.
FACTS!❤
@@alexandrebelair4360 ...? 12k live, what are you talking about? a show like this costs 100k to put on dude, haha what are you talking about?
With Laugh Tracks LMAO
live audience would make the award show feel more real!
That would be so sick!
I'd make that drive! I go there a few times a year anyway. This year's gear fest was sick!
Live audience and the top 3 bands perform.
Ok the budget may not be there
Yet.
The truth is that was a goated awards show. Cant wait for next year
Love how you would actually reveal these details ive always wondered how behind the scenes goes on award shows.
Petition for nik to go to Antarctica for the awards next year, that way he can stop complaining that America is cold
Very happy with TanktheTech finally winning the award for content creator, Opal in Sky got robbed.
Opal in sky next year 🫂
And Drum Beats Online
@@ShadowMorph608That's "I Prevail's" drummer, n yeah, his channel is awesome 🤘
That was so hard for me to pick. Love both of those channels.
And Estepario

I still you don't understand that isn't possible, stop suggesting it
@@notreally-sf3df lmaoo his comment must have hit a nerve. You must be one of them he was talking about
@@konuka_ame ..I knew every single song of every single band mentioned. Metalcore isn't even my main thing.
How the fuck are you guys so clueless? Listen to more music. Don't yap on about something that isn't possible, legal or ok because you're too lazy to liten to music.
For next year something like "Best Chorus" or "Right in the feels" would also be awesome
Idea for next year; partner with a local venue and do a live show with fans, I know Orlando and Central Florida will show up.
Boundaries being in like 6 award but didn't even get a nomination has to be a joke
LOL keep crying
Out of boundaries
77k people disagree
They make great music and they're awesome live, and we all know that's what matters :)
It's a popularity contest, dude. Also, Nik even said that Boundaries is his aoty
I still can't believe Muder8 didn't even place top 5 for callout of the year. I'm cool with Blinding Faith winning it its one of my favorite KL songs but Muder8 was one of my personal songs of the year and my favorite callout to a song ever.
I completely agree.
who?
@@deathknell1970 Bodysnatcher
It's a crime that callout didn't make top 5, it was straight up just personal
@@PointlessRantz fentanyl made me an only child? You truly believe that should’ve been Callout of the year?
Boundaries needs more love, so underrated to not get top votes in any category they were in.
nobody asked but my top album of the year was the like moths to flames album and i really wish they got more recognition. fucking incredible front to backl

Get live audience next year... this is imperative
It was great Nik. Thank you and going through it. Had a great time voting
Dude, love watching the stream! Thanks for putting this on and all the work that went into it!
next time we need a junt of the year award
Best awards show ever!! Needs a live audience next year!!
Soft Spine was not angrier than Hatred. People voting for favorites rather than the actual categories.
Agreed. Hatred was insane. I guess it’s a popularity contest now.

I love these voting breakdowns. Thank you Nik!
The blegh section is all my fault... I'll blegh harder in 2025 🤘🔥
wow
Hi Ohrion
@@OhrionReacts who knew reacting to her song on a paddle board would get her so many votes lol
It’s so cool seeing all the bands rallying their supporters for this. Like I know we care about it I’m just happy to see they also care about it
Hey nic love the content and thanks for the live stream last nigh
My brother Alex works at Sweetwater and worked on this production with you, super cool to see for both of you! Hope next year can have an audience, would definitely drive down for that!

Live audience! Live audience! Even if its like 500 people. This needs a live audience.
Legitimately bummed that Bilmuri didn't win anything. I think it might be the most underrated album of the year, regardless of genre.
Audiences and live performances would go so hard.
I love seeing these pie charts and how the voting went.
That awards show was amazing! Fantastic work to you and everyone involved! Lived up to the hype ❤
it was phenomenal. huge respect for u man
I thank a lot for the timelines. I didn't use them, but I wish more editors put them.
Editor killed it with the countdown on the bottom.
Ty so much sir.
Loved watching the awards. Really cool to see how much better they get each year!

I'm disappointed that Shokran didn't get nominated for music video of the year with Imhotep :(
Это был лучший клип года 100%
...They were though. So what are you dissapointed with?
Your Metal show is literally one of the things I have to look forward to everywhere and without fail love it, laugh. This and musicians mansion could run all year and id watch
Nick Schendzielos not winning bassist of the year, being the most technical, melodical, unique, iconic and musical out of them all had me mad. Not gonna lie. But hey, that's life.
Brilliant event Nik . Next Year lets go even bigger and make it like streamer awards with a website and live show event would be sick seeing all metal bands coming to the event and chill.
I think it would be great to allow up to 3 votes for categories with 20+ options!
The people who voted Knocked Loose for Breakdown of the Year clearly haven't heard "Flying the Black Flag" by Shadow Of Intent 😂
Is there a reason the Spiritbox ft. Tatiana Circle With Me collab wasn't on the list for collab song of the year? Am guessing because they only released an official video of it rather than an audio track?
I think they also released that cover after the nominations came out iirc
i didnt even know where was a song guessing not super popular
@@elsabacken it came out in October so was definitely eligible
The nominees were songs composed/released by two artists together. Circle with me is a Spiritbox song, Tatiana singing with them live does not make it a collab song. It is amazing for sure, but not for this category.
the real question is why does Spiritbox need to be nominated for everything
I voted for poppy blegh of the year and allt
Suffocate getting breakdown of the year is fucking crazy
Fr I don’t get it
@@BoOsT697 maybe you should acquire some "taste"
Bro literally any song off of the poetic edda or the tower beats it out easily@@gabrielmeza-lu4fh
They love that islander feel
@@gabrielmeza-lu4fh Dunno, I prefered ALLT breakdown from every other nomination. Listened to all of them before voting.
Oh... Illuminating. Thanks, always interesting to see the data and what it means. 🤘🤘
Keep being corekid Nik, but also a "best non-core song/band/album" category might be a fun metal thing for next year 😁
I loved Fort Wayne. Please host it again there.
This made an analytical metalhead nerd like me very happy.... thanks Nik! 🤘🧐
Dig this type of follow up video, good stuff.
Nik you gotta do a category for best festival lineup next year. Bc holy shit they’re looking good
I didn’t like knocked loose winning so many categories
When the Twitch Chat says "Hello" to us on RUclips... I really Feel that. :)
Peelingflesh not even making top 5 breakthrough band of the year is criminal
Thanks for the recap!
Thank you for making the awards again. One Question tho: why didn't While She Sleeps - to the Flowers nominated for music video of the year?
I don’t get how people like bilmuri
10:56 YES
Time to add a live audience on location? I'd like auditory reaction from the voters.
Bilmuri was the real AOTY. We all know it.
Alpha wolf- a terrible day for rain is best breakdown of the year
Rumor has it the 2025 Awards will be held at Madison Square Garden with a live audience 🤫
Need to rent out a theater for 2025! We will buy tickets!
Live audience next year, I would make the hour and a half drive up to my hometown.
Editor, dude! Thank you SO MUCH for putting that timer progress bat at the bottom. Now I can comfortably skip segments that don't interest me. Wow!
i literally only get metal news from nik
Sure we want!
live audience and or guest appearances next year plz
I'm like an hour west of Ft. Wayne so yeah, come on up to our frozen hell of Indiana.🤣
How did Mirar not win a single warard????! Best EP and 2nd best guitarist were very possible
Next year please take expert or critics picks also, it's unfair sometimes as popular artist get pick, ofcourse
Hello Nik, I just want to say that Shadows Fall is back and releases new song
Would love it to be a live show with a real crowd in the room
Do you have a country pie chart of the voters? Would be interesting to see
I know Dealer was canceled but I love that band and I am sad they weren't nominated for anything. They have been in my top 5 artists for two years in a row.
Creg creg. It’s CRAIG (CrayG) much love 🥰
77k voters, and I'm among the many who missed it
Spiritbox as angriest is wild
Hey Nik, watching from Portugal, thanks for sharing the Metal Awards Show on RUclips
I still can't believe Obkatiekat is not in the top 5
I voted for her
Live Audience next year!
Well deserved wins!!
Great show man. Cringy at times, but great overall. Some live audience whould make it better. You alone there on the stage clapping all the time was funny :)
SHOW THE ENTIRE SCREEN THIS IS SO INFURIATING
I don’t care what anyone says in my book “People Watching” is the AOTY
Respect bro!
hell yeah we want another award
I'm honestly pretty dissapointed that Job for a Cowboy got almost no love.
Moon Healer was my AOTY
Very niche nowadays
The voters have no taste
The voters have no taste
The voters have no taste
I can’t beleive nik would expose the truth about him like this, so sad
We need a live audience because it felt kinda akward at times
Everything is Allt.
Would have loved to see Eugene And Tatiana do better than they did, they are both amazing
I still wish Kool-Aid by BMTH was in best songs. Love that one.
The lack of love for Paleface Swiss in this community makes me sad.
Bilmuri is metal??? I swear I heard their music inside an Abercrombie
Im shocked I didn't see Enterprise Earth anywhere. Death: An Anthology is my AOTY :(
yA WERE GOOD TO Shokran, swole AF
