Metz – Up On Gravity Hill

Toronto noise‑rock trio METZ drop a surprisingly introspective and musically expansive turn on Up On Gravity Hill, their fifth studio album released 2024. The band retains their propulsive rhythms and raw energy — churning drums, heavy riffs, and chest-thumping bass — but here they infuse moments of clarity and emotional weight, particularly on tracks like “Glass Eye” and “Light Your Way Home.”

Lyrically, the album delves into themes of grief, loss, and the search for meaning in uncertain times. METZ record with nuance, allowing space for vulnerability without shedding their signature intensity.
