METZ stream new record II in its entirety ahead of its 4 May release date

In our 8.5/10 review of the record, we said: "Metz have built on the nihilistic foundations laid by their debut and have developed, in places, a bracing and impressive knack for a killer hook. But the overriding aesthetic is one of immediacy and turbo-fuelled levels of energy accompanied by buzz saw guitars, fuzzed up bass and steamroller drums. With II, Metz have done more than enough to cement themselves as the new kings of transgressive hard rock, and that's a crown which is going to be difficult for anyone to wrestle from them."

II is out 4 May on Sub Pop. It's available for pre-order on iTunes now.

You can stream the album now via NPR.
