"These days, sometimes less volume cuts through all the noise better. On their third full-length Strange Peace, Metz prove as much by dialing-down the jackhammer attack of their first two albums ... To be clear, Metz haven't turned into a pop band. They've actually done the opposite, incorporating harmony without going soft. The fact that so few heavy bands have been able to pull that off attests to how difficult it is. With Strange Peace, Metz make it sound easy".
