Canadian noise-rockers METZ have confirmed that their follow-up to 2012’s immensely awesome METZ will be released May 5 on Sub Pop, and it will be titled—wait for it—METZ II. (Somewhere, the Bronx are calling their lawyer for potential gimmick infringement.) You can pre-order the album immediately. The band released an unofficial music video for the album’s leadoff track “Acetate” which features some pretty impressive pancake creation, so even if you don’t dig the song, hit the ‘mute’ button and marvel at that dude’s technique:
