When METZ were in NYC for Death by Audio’s second-to-last show, they mentioned a new album was on the way. Now we have a little more info on that. The album, which may be simply called METZ – II, will be out Spring 2015 via Sub Pop. The Toronto punks teased the new record via a video, a montage compiled by Scott Cudmore and Alex Edkins, that hurls a snippet of skull-crushing METZ noise right near the end. You can watch that below.

Meanwhile, METZ are on tour with Death from Above 1979 and play Winnipeg tonight (1/27). They’ll be in London and Paris for a couple shows in March, too. Those dates are listed below.
