Metz is a Canadian noise rock band hailing from Toronto, Ontario, that has been unleashing their powerful and aggressive sound on the music scene since their formation in 2008. Comprised of guitarist and vocalist Alex Edkins, bassist Chris Slorach, and drummer Hayden Menzies, the trio is known for their intense live performances and for crafting a sonic maelstrom that merges the raw energy of punk with the spirit of grunge and the experimentalism of noise rock. Their eponymous debut album, "METZ," released in 2012, quickly established them as a force to be reckoned with in the world of alternative and underground rock.

Over the years, Metz has continued to refine their sound without sacrificing their characteristic intensity. Releases like "Strange Peace" (2017) and "Atlas Vending" (2020) showcase the band's evolution, incorporating dynamic rhythms and dissonant melodies that manage to be both jarring and utterly compelling. The "Automat" collection in 2019 presented fans with a retrospective compilation of non-album singles, B-sides, and rarities, offering a comprehensive look at the band's unyielding sonic journey. With their penchant for dissonance and distortion, Metz's contribution to noise rock is marked by their ability to balance chaos and control in equal measure, securing their place among the notable contemporary purveyors of the genre.
