We know that hard rock and metal come from the blues, but sometimes it's easy to lose the connection. Alswich, UK outfit Metta's brand of funk metal seems to occur right at the transition point as classic blues licks dance dangerously close to a murky bassline. When the two touch, there's a shower of sparks, and metal is born.
Metta play chunes they want to; mainly funk, funk/rock with some blues mixed up in there. Give it a listen & see what you think; its not your typical teenager rock
