November 24th for the Grammy Nominations, that is actually sooner than usual, I am somewhat surprised. I will put my final predictions a day or two before and go into massive detail for each category including Metal.
Metal performance is so unpredictable. Anybody could be nominated. Even Mayhem, the infamous black metal band whose members burned a lot of churches in Norway, could receive his first nomination.
The last several years have shown that the committee is more interested in promoting heavy metal and hard rock I don’t like predicting committee categories because they’re so unpredictable, but I could definitely see a scenario where Fiona misses rock nominations.
I should just mention what were the surprises from 2019 that hardly anybody predicted. Bones UK – Best Rock Performance Rival Sons – Best Rock Album and Rock Performance I Prevail – Best Rock Album and Metal Performance Karen O and Danger Mouse – Best Rock Performance The Cranberries – Best Rock Album ( Yes looking back at the forums hardly anyone predicted The Cranberries, most people thought Weezer, The Black Keys, Slipknot and Greta Van Fleet were getting in) All of the Metal Nominees except Tool
Well, Rival Sons was my runner up for best rock album.
