If Metz ruled the world, no songs would last longer than three minutes and guitars could only be used at maximum volume and brandished like weapons of mass destruction. Unfortunately, Metz exist in a miniscule ether of the musical stratosphere reserved for the scattered few that still believe aggressive music could continue past the death of Nirvana. Blasting onto the scene with their angular, post-hardcore-inspired fretwork and fearless application of noise, Metz's debut album (aptly-titled "Metz") set them apart the pack with reckless abandonment.
Returning with the immediacy of a four-alarm fire, Metz are back with their latest offering: the cleverly-named, "II". True to form, Metz have been reluctant to revamp what made their initial release so transgressive to the genre. If it ain't broke, don't fix it- the old saying goes, and so Metz carries on as such. The band is hyperbolically self-aware of their strengths and they deliver precisely what existed so seamlessly on previous works: short, fast, and immersive post-punk. Ten songs of merciless, blast-back energy without frills or pandering.
