Presenting The 68th Grammy Award Winners for Rock and Metal

February 1, 2026 Ken Pierce Leave a comment

As most of you know by now, the “Rock” and “Metal” categories for the Grammy Awards is no longer something that is a part of the lengthy broadcast that will be “officially beginning” at 8PM, EST this evening. These categories are instead celebrated and awarded earlier in pre-show festivities which essentially frees up any of the Metalheads who were hoping to catch these genres during the broadcast. Having monitored their assorted feeds, I’ve managed to compile a list of the winners and now present those categories alone for you to quickly peruse and then forget about the Grammy Awards until next year. Presenting the Grammy Awards for the Rock, Metal and Alternative categories.

Best Rock Performance
WINNER – “Changes (Live From Villa Park) Back to the Beginning” – Yungblud featuring Nuno Bettencourt, Frank Bello, Adam Wakeman and II of Sleep Token
“U Should Not Be Doing That” – Amyl and the Sniffers
“The Emptiness Machine” – Linkin Park
“Never Enough” – Turnstile
“Mirtazapine” – Hayley Williams

Hey there readers and welcome back once again to the continued presentations from the 2013 NY Comic Con adventures that we undertook here at the PiercingMetal Command HQ a few days ago.

I’ll begin at the Metal Sucks/Metal Injection booth where Anthrax’s own Frank Bello was signing photographs and meeting any fans that wanted to say hello.
