At which Vancouver studio did Metallica record part of its 1991 album, commonly called The Black Album?

Metallica recorded part of its 1991 album, commonly called The Black Album, at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver.

Most of the album’s recording took place at One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles, where the main sessions began in October 1990. The band also spent about a week at Little Mountain Sound Studios in Vancouver, adding a Canadian location to the album’s production history.

Final overdubs and mixing were completed at A&M Studios in Hollywood during June and July 1991. The work across several facilities reflected the album’s unusually demanding production, with producer Bob Rock insisting on repeated takes and detailed editing.

Little Mountain Sound was a significant Canadian recording facility that had hosted projects by major rock artists. It should not be confused with the album’s primary Los Angeles studio, One on One, or with A&M Studios, where the finishing work occurred.
