Which track is number 12 on Metallica's 1991 album, commonly called The Black Album?
Answer
The Struggle Within
“The Struggle Within” is track number 12 on Metallica's 1991 album, commonly called The Black Album.
It closes the standard 12-song edition, following “My Friend of Misery.” The song is one of the album's more aggressive and compact pieces, ending a record that had opened with the widely accessible “Enter Sandman.”
The standard sequence also places “Of Wolf and Man” at number nine and “The God That Failed” at number ten. Those neighboring titles are common sources of confusion because all three appear in the album's final stretch.
The track-list answer refers to the original album program. Deluxe editions and anniversary box sets add demos, live performances, rough mixes, and other material, so their expanded track counts do not change the position of “The Struggle Within” on the original standard edition.
