An initiative led by Paris Entertainment Company and the Fédération des Musiques Métalliques, the ceremony celebrates those who challenge genres, conventions, boundaries… and sometimes the limits of reason.
THE FIRST CEREMONY WAS A SIGNAL
We didn’t tell you at the time, but it was one.
You picked up on it.
In total, nearly 100 projects were selected, 14 trophies were awarded, and a 2-hour-and-17-minute show was broadcast live on France 4.
On stage, Carpenter Brut, Revnoir, Grandma’s Ashes, and Gravekvlt did what they do best: rock out.
An intense, moving, and at times unpredictable first edition—exactly as we’d hoped.
But above all, a first edition made possible thanks to you.
Thank you to everyone who was there for the first blast.
And if you’re getting ready to join the adventure, thank you too.
THE SECOND EDITION IS A MUST-ATTEND EVENT
A voice that’s growing louder, a community that’s expanding, a phenomenon that’s gaining momentum.
So this year, we’re doing it all over again.
Even louder.
Even more surprising.
Even more electrifying.
Because, after all, no one ever expected a metal ceremony to be tame.
Here, we break down clichés to rebuild something that reflects who we are.
Whether Metallica is your only reference or 99% of your wardrobe is made up of merch, you belong here with us.
Les Foudres isn’t a private club reserved for insiders.
We come because we know the right people will be there—How do we know?
We can’t talk about it.
But we just know.
