TURNSTILE has made history at the 68th annual Grammy Awards, taking home the trophy for Best Metal Performance during the pre-telecast ceremony tonight (Sunday, February 1) at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The Baltimore band earned the honor for their track “Birds”, from their latest album, Never Enough.
The win adds to a remarkable year for TURNSTILE, who became the first artist or band ever to receive nominations across Rock, Alternative, and Metal categories in a single Grammy year. Alongside their Metal nod, TURNSTILE was also nominated for Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song (Never Enough), Best Rock Performance (Never Enough), and Best Alternative Music Performance (“Seein’ Stars”).
In the Best Rock Album race, TURNSTILE emerged victorious over strong competition, including DEFTONES’ Private Music, HAIM’s I Quit, LINKIN PARK’s From Zero, and Yungblud’s Idols.
The Grammys recognize outstanding music released during the eligibility period, which this year ran from August 31, 2024, to August 30, 2025. Winners are selected by the Recording Academy’s Voting Members, a peer group of artists, songwriters, producers, and engineers. Their votes determine each nominee and winner, reinforcing the Grammy Awards as the music industry’s only peer-voted honor.

- DREAM THEATER – “Night Terror”
- GHOST – “Lachryma”
- SLEEP TOKEN – “Emergence”
- SPIRITBOX – “Soft Spine”
- TURNSTILE – “Birds”
