METZ

METZ is a Canadian trio known for their punishing and cathartic blend of noise rock and hardcore punk. Formed in 2007, the band consists of Alex Edkins (guitar, vocals), Hayden Menzies (drums), and Chris Slorach (bass). After signing with the legendary #Sub Pop# records, they unleashed their ferocious self-titled debut album, 'METZ', in 2012, establishing their signature sound of abrasive guitars, thunderous rhythms, and raw, shouted vocals. Subsequent albums like 'II', 'Strange Peace' (recorded with *Steve Albini*), and 'Atlas Vending' have seen the band refine their sonic assault, incorporating more dynamic textures while losing none of their visceral intensity, cementing their status as a formidable force in modern punk.
