Long considered one of the planet’s most bombastic live acts and foremost purveyors of abrasive melodicism, METZ has spent the majority of their 11-year tenure crisscrossing the globe and bringing their unparalleled energy directly to the people. Determined to connect with their fans and to find a way within the confines of the pandemic to create a live experience as dynamic as their most recent full length, Atlas Vending, METZ took to the stage in October 2020 at the Opera House in Toronto to livestream a performance of Atlas Vending in its entirety. Today the band announced the release of this raw and powerful performance.
 
Live at the Opera House, recorded by Graham Walsh and mixed by Seth Manchester, is available now on all digital service providers, with bundles at Bandcamp and Sub Pop’s Mega Mart that include the full concert film directed by the band’s longtime video collaborator Scott Cudmore. Also starting today; a pre-order for the limited 1,000 piece pressing on tricolor (Black/White/Oxblood) vinyl which includes a download of the full concert film. The LP can be pre-ordered through megamart.subpop.com, METZ’s merch store, and Bandcamp, and will be available November 5th in select independent retailers in North America. Grab one while supplies last.

To celebrate this release, today METZ have shared the striking live performance video for “Pulse” from the Opera House. The opening song of a set that grabs you, shakes you, and doesn’t let go until the final crushing blow and the feedback subsides, this video, and the full Live at the Opera House album and film, are clear reminders of the unparalleled energy and spirit of METZ live. METZ return to the stages of North America this November and December and will tour Europe & the UK in the spring of 2022.    METZ on the road 2021 Nov. 18 Phoenix, AZ - Crescent Ballroom Nov. 19 Los Angeles, CA - Teragram Ballroom  Nov. 20 San Francisco, CA - The Independent Nov. 22 Portland, OR - Wonder Ballroom Nov. 23 Seattle, WA - The Crocodile - Showroom  Nov. 24 Vancouver, BC - Biltmore Nov. 26 Calgary, AB - Commonwealth Bar & Stage Nov. 27 Edmonton, AB - The Starlite Room Nov. 29 Winnipeg, MB - Winnipeg Park Theatre Nov. 30 St. Paul, MN - Turf Club Dec. 2 Milwaukee, WI - The Back Room - Colectivo Dec. 3 Detroit, MI - Museum of Contemporary Art  Dec 5 Ottawa ON - Bronson Centre  Dec. 6 Montreal, QC - Theatre Fairmount  Dec. 7 Boston, MA - Brighton Music Hall  Dec. 9 Brooklyn, NY - Elsewhere: Hall Dec. 10 NY, NY - The Bowery Ballroom Dec. 11 Philadelphia, PA - The Foundry at The Fillmore  Dec. 13 Washington, DC - Union Stage Dec. 14 Columbus, OH - A&R Music Bar Dec. 16 Chicago, IL - Metro  Dec. 17 Toronto, ON - Lee’s Palace (METZ only)  Dec. 18 Toronto, ON - Lee’s Palace (METZ only)   All shows w/ Preoccupations and FACS except Toronto.    2022 Apr. 01 - Leicester, UK - O2 Academy 2⁣  Apr. 02 - Blackpool, UK - Bootleg Social⁣ Apr. 03 - Manchester, UK - YES⁣ Apr. 04 - Newcastle, UK - The Cluny⁣ Apr. 06 - Glasgow, UK - Stereo⁣ Apr. 07 - Leeds, UK - Brudenell Social Club⁣ Apr. 08 - Bristol, UK - Thekla⁣ Apr. 09 - Brighton, UK - Green Door Store⁣ Apr. 10 - London, UK - Scala⁣ Apr. 11 - Lille, FR - L’Aeronef⁣ Apr. 12 - Antwerp, BE - Trix⁣ Apr. 13 - Paris, FR - Petit Bain⁣ Apr. 15 - Biarritz, FR - Atabal⁣ Apr. 16 - Vigo, ES - La Iguana  Apr. 17 - Porto, PT - Hard Club⁣ Apr. 18 - Lisbon, PT - LAV⁣ Apr. 20 - Madrid, ES - Independence Live⁣ Apr. 21 - Barcelona, ES - LA 2⁣ Apr. 22 - Nimes, FR - Paloma Apr. 23 - Dudingen, CH - Bad Bonn⁣ Apr. 24 - Lausanne, CH - Les Docks⁣ Apr. 25 - Zurich, CH - Bogen F⁣ Apr. 27 - Munich, DE - Kranhalle⁣ Apr. 28 - Vienna, AT - Arena Wien⁣ Apr. 29 - Berlin, DE - Lido⁣ May 01 - Rotterdam, NL - Rotown⁣ May 03 - Copenhagen, DK - Loppen⁣ May 04 - Hamburg, DE - Hafenklang⁣ May 05 - Groningen, NL - Vera⁣ May 06 - Utrecht, NL - TivoliVredenburg⁣ May 07 - Cologne, DE - Artheater⁣   All shows w/ Psychic Graveyard  METZ Live at the Opera House Tracklisting: 1.
