METZ's debut self-titled album in 2012 was a revelatory album, a shining beacon of energetic noise-punk and just a taste of what was to come. Their second album, II, is a continuation of that sound, and expansion to a certain extent. The music is similar: bruising, sludgy walls of noise-rock and punk. Their sound is very similar to the work of the Jesus Lizard or Big Black. They call their shots, hit hard, then move on. The album is quite short too. They don't waste time making their point. "Spit You Out" is a perfect microcosm of their sound. It has a wall of textural guitar noise propelling anti-social screaming lyrics. A more perfect noise-rock album you won't find in 2015.
