Bring Me The Horizon - whose album Amo wowed us with its mix of "euphoric synth pop and...rip-roaring heavy rock" - have been nominated for Best Album and Best UK Band as well as Best Video for 'In The Dark' and Best Album Artwork.
Elsewhere, Babymetal's Metal Galaxy received a nomination for Best Album, as well as Dinosaur Pile Up's Celebrity Mansions and Tool's epic Fear Inoculum.
Further Best UK Band nominees include Architects, While She Sleeps and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes. In the Best UK Breakthrough Band category, Nova Twins and Cold Years received nods.
