I must say I didn't see this coming: Metz going on "indefinite hiatus". Not least because latest album Up On Gravity Hill, released in April, is not only arguably their strongest to date but also seemed to herald an exciting new direction in dialling up the melodicism and nuance without really dialling down the muscularity.
On reflection, though, I guess that may have been the problem. In the absence of any rationale/explanation other than that they've been slogging away in the noise-rock trenches for over 15 years, there's a fair chance that not everyone in the band is keen on taking this particular fork in the road and that musical differences stand behind the decision. A great shame if so.
