Regarded as one of Australia's best underground thrash metal
acts, Metreya have
exploded back onto the metal scene with the release of their debut
E.P. entitled Machines of War. Featuring 5 blistering speed metal
classics,
Machines of War is set to cause a frenzy among the metal
community.
Metreya are unequivocally thrash metal, delivering a true late 80's
thrash metal master class reminiscent of the best the genre
has to offer. Exodus, Dark Angel, Anthrax and Kreator count as
major influences.
Formed around 2005 as Blackened, the thrashers made an immediate
impact on the local scene and were invited to share the stage with
some of Australia's best metal acts. The band was rapidly rising to
the top of Australia’s metal
scene, until unforeseen circumstances forced the band into hiatus
for a number of years.
However, the time out of the spotlight was put to good use; the
band solidified their lineup with a fantastic lead guitarist, a new
batch of super thrash metal was written, and a plan was devised to
re-launch under a new name.
In 2012, the thrash beast that is Metreya was unleashed. The band
has once again made an immediate impact on the metal scene,
delivering highly energetic live shows while supporting many of
Australia’s top metal bands.
In 2013 Metreya will release the Machines of War E.P. The tracks on
the E.P. are classic Blackened era material which has become fan
favourites and staples of Metreya’s live set. A music video for the
title track was released and has been extremely well
received.
The band will build on the success of their E.P. and plan to
release a full length in early 2014. Metreya live and breathe
thrash metal and know what it takes to deliver what will be revered
as a bona fide thrash classic.
Until then, be prepared for the Machines of War!
