background

On April 24, 2014, the American music magazine Alternative Press , which specializes in punk , hardcore and their sub-genres, announced the first-time presentation of the Alternative Press Music Awards . This was justified by the fact that "the Alternative Press has been the leading voice in this music and lifestyle for 30 years and you finally have a night to celebrate it."

The first award ceremony took place on July 21, 2014 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland , Ohio . The readers of the music magazine were initially able to vote for their favorites in twelve categories, which were previously nominated by the magazine. This included the album of the year category . In its first year, the British band Bring Me the Horizon won this award with Sempiternal . The following year Black Veil Brides won this award with their fourth album of the same name . In 2016, the duo twenty one pilots received a Skully in this category for Blurryface .
