Which music-video director made Metallica's 1991 video for “The Unforgiven”?

Matt Mahurin directed Metallica's 1991 music video for “The Unforgiven.”

The video was filmed in Los Angeles in September 1991 and premiered on November 19, 1991. Its stark black-and-white imagery follows a barefoot, shirtless boy born in captivity who spends his life in a windowless stone room. The visual approach matches the song's serious theme of individual struggle against subjugation.

“The Unforgiven” was the second single from Metallica, the album commonly called The Black Album. The song is notable for its unusual contrast between heavy guitar passages and a slower, more restrained verse arrangement, which helped distinguish it from the band's earlier thrash-metal material.

Mahurin also directed later Metallica videos, including “The Unforgiven II” and “The Unforgiven III.” The other choices are genuine directors associated with Metallica videos, but they worked on different songs. Wayne Isham directed “Enter Sandman” and “Wherever I May Roam,” while Adam Dubin directed “Nothing Else Matters.”
