Danny Carey (drums) and Justin Chancellor (bass) accepted the award at the event. They bet out CANDLEMASS, DEATH ANGEL, I PREVAIL, and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE for the honor.

 

This was the fourth Grammy Award for the acclaimed band. They had previously won Best Metal Performance (1998, "Aenima"), Best Metal Performance (2002, "Schism") and Best Recording Package (2007, 10,000 Days).

 

The Grammys are voted on by approximately 13,000 Recording Academy members, who are comprised of artists, songwriters, producers and engineers. More than 21,000 recordings were submitted for Grammys consideration last year. For 2020 awards, music must have been released between October 1, 2018 and August 31, 2019 in order to be eligible.
