Which song from Metallica's The Black Album won the band's 1992 MTV award?

Enter Sandman won Metallica's 1992 MTV award for Best Rock Video.

Wayne Isham directed the promotional film, which combines performance footage with disturbing dream imagery and scenes involving a child. The video gave the song a powerful visual identity and helped it reach audiences who might not have encountered Metallica through albums alone.

The award came at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, after the song had become the breakthrough single from the 1991 album. Enter Sandman had already reached number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became a staple of rock radio.

The other major Black Album singles also received extensive exposure, but the MTV honor specifically recognized Enter Sandman's video. This distinction matters because the song itself and the album earned recognition across several different award and chart categories.
