In 1989 it was introduced as Best Heavy Metal Video . The name was changed to Best Metal / Hard Rock Video in the next edition . For the MTV Video Music Awards 1996 it was renamed to Best Metal / Hard Rock Video once . It was given its current name at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards and has been awarded continuously since then, with the exception of the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards .
