Every Grammys Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance winner

2 ceremonies, 2012–2013. 2 different winners.

Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance was first awarded in 2012, so it does not run the full 2000–2025 window.

It was awarded for the last time in 2013.

It ran for two ceremonies. For 2014 the Academy split it again, reviving Best Metal Performance and moving hard rock into Best Rock Performance.

From 2014 the Grammys awarded Best Rock Performance instead.

It took over from Best Metal Performance and Best Hard Rock Performance.

One band per year, because no winner has gone back-to-back in the years on record. Colored by label; scroll sideways for the full run.
