Which song is the final track on Metallica's 1991 album Metallica?

“The Struggle Within” is the final track on Metallica's 1991 album Metallica.

The song closes the standard twelve-track sequence after “Through the Never.” It is built around a fast, aggressive attack that recalls more of Metallica's earlier thrash energy than the album's slower, broader singles. Its placement gives the record a forceful ending after the more varied middle section.

The track was not released as one of the album's five commercial singles. Those were “Enter Sandman,” “The Unforgiven,” “Nothing Else Matters,” “Wherever I May Roam,” and “Sad but True.” As a result, casual listeners may know the hit sequence better than the complete album order.

Vinyl editions divide the twelve tracks across four sides, but the final song remains “The Struggle Within.” The album's sequencing is therefore distinct from the order of its singles and from later live set lists, where Metallica has often rearranged songs for performance.
