On the Local Front: 滅 Metsu

滅

Last night I was tipped off by a friend about a cool new Toronto band fresh on the scene... How fresh you may ask? Well their free EP As the Earth Drinks was posted online just over 15 hours ago. 滅 or Metsu (Japanese for 'destroy') are what I would call a 'post-metal' band... they are all about mood. While more 'traditional' metal goes straight for the kill, Metsu is a much different, much more subtle beast. Slowly getting into your head with lush atmospheric textures Metsu puts you at comfort gaining your trust and establishing confort and it is only then that they bring the pain. Expression from Metsu goes beyond rage and anger, they reflect a wider more ineffible range of human emotion. Metsu has ebb and flow. Download or stream their album free here to know exactly what I mean. I can also guarantee you will be of the first listeners to hear their sound.
