Over the last two weeks, we've been working on a project. I started taking suggestions for the best musicians for 2019, and last week, we took the votes on those suggestions. This was all for a pre-existing event that has been hosted by Immortal Music several times over the years called the Immortal Music Awards. Now, the 2020 version is massively different from any other version I've ever done in the past. That is due to the fact that the world is completely different, and this time, it was brought back as an opportunity to combat boredom for everyone. In the past, it was an annual thing, done in the winter, typically between November -December, to recap the year. The first one dates back to 2011, the very beginning of Immortal Music. We did them every single year through 2016, then took a break. This is the first one since then, and since its just barely May, and 2020 has forced a lot of things to get postponed or canceled, all of this is based off of 2019. If anyone wants us to, if time permits and some sense of normalcy does come back to us this year, maybe we could do a second round of the awards this winter to recap 2020. Though I doubt anyone really wants to recap the hell fire that has so far been 2020. With all that being said, I'm hopeful the suggestion and voting periods provided some source of entertainment for everyone out there. Thank you so much for your participation, it means a lot to me. We got so many wonderful suggestions, and it sincerely felt like you guys were having a lot of fun with it. The voting felt a little light. but we still got a good handful, so I think we can semi-accurately determine the winners for ten different categories. Just to refresh your memory real quick, those categories are: Best Album, Best Song, Best Live Band, Best Music Video, Most Underrated Band, Best Vocalist, Best Unclean Vocals, Best Guitarist, Best Bassist, and last, but certainly not least, Best Drummer. We are going to go through them all in that order, and I just wish to remind you that these were all chosen by you guys! Every single nominee was suggested by someone who follows our Facebook page, and once again we thank you! Absolutely none of this was chosen by me, though if you would like to hear what I would have done, or my thoughts on the winners, please keep checking back, as I will be sharing my thoughts, as per tradition. Now, I know you're all probably skimming this, or have flat out scrolled down to see the winners. So, let's get into it, shall we?
So there you have it! Those are the winners for the 2020 Immortal Music Awards, as chosen by you guys. What do you think? Are you happy with the winners? What would you have done differently, if it was all up to you? Let me know. I'll be posting my thoughts very soon. Thank you again to everyone who provided suggestions and voted! A lot of suggestions were made that did not make it into the final running, but they all were much appreciated! If nothing else, I had fun seeing all the participation, and I hope you guys enjoyed taking part. Speaking of the suggestions, before I go, I want to quickly bring up something. I had a lot of people suggesting underground, up and coming, growing bands as nominees. They obviously would not be popular enough to win awards that are basically a popularity contest, but they deserve their own spotlight. So if you know any growing bands that aren't quite touring yet, please send them our way. I want to give them the attention they deserve. Please send them to via private message through the Facebook page, with the band or artist's name, social media and an example of their work, if you have a link. If not, I'm sure I can find it through their social medias. That's obviously going to be a project, but I wanted to quickly bring it up. I thought it was very sweet that several people were hyping up smaller musicians. Send them my way, and I'll speak to you guys very soon.
