Which Grammy Award did Metallica win for its self-titled album at the 1992 ceremony?

Metallica won the Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for its self-titled album at the 1992 ceremony.

The award recognized the album Metallica, commonly called The Black Album. It was presented at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards, held in 1992, and marked another major step in the band's acceptance by the mainstream music industry.

The category had been separated from the earlier combined Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category in 1990. Metallica had already won the newly established metal award for One and then for its cover of Stone Cold Crazy. The Black Album gave the band a third consecutive victory in the category.

The award is sometimes confused with the Grammy nomination for Enter Sandman in Best Rock Song. That nomination concerned the songwriting category and did not represent the album's win. The Black Album's Grammy victory was specifically for Best Metal Performance.
