LABEL: Sub PopVINYL RELEASE DATE: 5/4/2015ORIGINAL RELEASE DATE: 2015VARIANT: Black Vinyl LP What happens when a seemingly irresistible force meets an immovable object is a service able metaphor for the music METZ creates, both live and on record. Now behold II, the concussive 2015 full-length from what is arguably North America's finest touring Rock band. Written and recorded in 2014, after two years of constant touring behind their rightly adored self-titled debut, II is METZ at their most true to form-as pure an expression of what they do as can currently be committed to tape. The guitars are titanic, the drums ill-tempered, the vocals chilling, and the volume worrisome. From the exhilarating grind of "Spit You Out" to the blunt-force thrills of "Landfill," herein reside 10 songs as uncompromising in their ferocity and abrasiveness as any collection this record label has had the pleasure of releasing to date.
