METZ Share Sci-Fi Music Video For Latest Single “Blind Youth Industrial Park”
With the release of their upcoming album Atlas Vending just weeks away on October 9th, Toronto noise-rock trio METZ have shared their latest single “Blind Youth Industrial Park”. The blistering tune comes alongside a stunning sci-fi video and a live stream announcement.
Shot in the South Island town of Queensland, New Zealand, the new music video for “Blind Youth Industrial Park” depicts a young hero dragging an injured companion through a scenic alien landscape. While the song itself explores the naivety of youth and the freedom from life’s burdens, the video instead leans into the musical contrast, pushing out the aggression and desperation from the frizzy guitar riffs and bashing percussion. Director Dylan Pharazyn shares his inspiration for the video:
“I started thinking of the feeling of war or samurai films, beautiful but dark and violent… but then I had this idea to work up a more unique world… I started to think of a more futuristic setting — more unusual and dream-like with the story set on a distant planet where there is future technology and some kind of alien magic… like a futuristic fable. I loved the idea of the hero Ayeth on this nomadic walk through an epic landscape… I loved the strength in her and the pairing of her with a wounded companion, something really human and vulnerable… I wanted that emotive warmth countering the cold military images.”
Following their album release on October 9th, the band will be performing live from the Toronto Opera House on October 15th for North & South America (9pm EST/6pm PST), and on October 17th at 8 pm BST / 9 pm CEST / 8 pm AEST for those in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. Tickets & merch can be ordered here.
