Metz
II
There's nothing quite like being pummeled to death (figuratively) by noise. It is a truly cathartic experience when the loudness and sheer quantity of sounds blanks out your sense of hearing and leaves your brain to create aural hallucinations to fill the space.
Metz' second album, the aptly named II, is one of the most intense experiences one can have purely by listening to music. This is the white noise they play for you in sensory deprivation chambers, only this is more in line with Altered States than "turn on, tune in, drop out."
To conquer II is a gladiatorial battle with a monolith; one great, ever-present cacophony beating you into submission until you accept the gospel truth: that the unceasing din is our salvation, and we must bathe in its lifeblood. All hail our lord, Tinnitus, the god of rock.
