If you hang out on metal YouTube and Twitch, you are probably familiar with the work of Nik Nocturnal. He is known to upload a wide array of metal related content (some of it involving other metal artists).
But alongside all his work, Nik has decided to take on one hell of a project – hosting a metal award show! Announced as of recently, Nik Nocturnal will be hosting the Nik Nocturnal Heavy Awards 2022! Regarding this event, Nik shares the following statement:
“Metal and rock are having a renaissance on Twitch, and it’s exciting to see pro musicians, touring bands, and labels teaming up with content creators like me to help tell their stories to more fans. It’s an amazing feeling to get respect from people I looked up to when I was a kid, especially because I didn’t make it here through traditional band routes. With the help of the Twitch community and their votes, we’ll celebrate it all and highlight its greats at the ‘Nik Nocturnal Heavy Awards’!”
