The bands were nominated for their most recent releases, all of which came out during 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GHOST<\/strong> was also nominated in the “Album Of The Year” and “Artist Of The Year” categories, but failed to win those awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GHOST<\/strong>\u00a0leader\u00a0Tobias Forge<\/strong>, who hails from the Swedish town of Link\u00f6ping, accepted the award in person, telling the audience at the event (translated from Swedish): “For some reason I thought this would happen earlier in the evening. When I realized it would happen a bit later.. as you know, it takes a lot of teamwork to make a record, everything from getting the record together sonically to getting it out in physical form. I’ve worked with a lot of people and halfway through this evening, I realized, ‘Fuck we haven’t been mentioned yet. Our category hasn’t been mentioned! I’m gonna be way too drunk!’ So I told\u00a0Klas<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0Klas \u00c5hlund<\/strong>, producer of our record \u2014 that if we win anything, we should get up here together because it would be difficult to remember everyone that’s been part of it. So, some of the people who have helped us:\u00a0Klas \u00c5hlund<\/strong>,\u00a0Salem Al Fakir<\/strong>,\u00a0Vincent Pontare<\/strong>,\u00a0Max Grahn<\/strong>… and a whole lot of other people. Everyone from\u00a0Universal<\/strong>,\u00a0Nicholas<\/strong>,\u00a0Christian<\/strong>,\u00a0BMG<\/strong>,\u00a0Live Nation<\/strong>\u00a0has been there and helped us so much. Thank you very much everyone who has been involved.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
