Metz and Adulkt Life, have announced a split 7”, which will drop on March 4th via What’s Your Rupture? (Savoy Motel, Parquet Courts). Ahead of the official release Metz have shared their “Demolition Row.” “It’s quite singular,” says METZ’s guitarist/singer Alex Edkins. “We’ve never sounded this way before.”

The 7”’s “Book of Curses” was intended for the LP, but didn’t quite fit. Singer Chris Rowley describes it as a “belligerent satellite” for the end of time: “like in a few weeks.” It’s matched here with the blip of “Ants & Lions,” a near-joke that instead feels accusatory. Atop the carnival swells of the song, only that voice could make “yabba dabba doo time” burn like acid.

The impact of these two sides, taken together, reveals a shared, defiant intention. “When you’ve made yr small space attack ship mostly from sharp sticks and dashboards and recycled fuel stuffs METZ ship looks clean and tended for battles to come,” says Chris Rowley. “Very happy to be sharing crew n rink with them.” For METZ, this record lives within their legacy of complementary projects including splits with Mission of Burma and Clipping. and their collaboration with John Reis. “It’s because we are fans of the music,” explains Edkins. “METZ are mighty aren’t they?” replies Rowley.
