Metric

In the performance captured in “Metric - Speed The Collapse (Live at the Edge),” the band was promoting their fifth studio album, *Pagans in Vegas*, which was released in September 2015. At this stage in their career, Metric was continuing to build on their established reputation for merging indie rock with electronic elements, resulting in a sound that is both dynamic and innovative. The live recording at Sugar Beach Studio in Toronto showcases their energetic performance style, which has become a hallmark of their concerts. Notably, *Pagans in Vegas* includes themes of escapism and modern life, and “Speed the Collapse” reflects this with its commentary on the complexities of contemporary existence. This performance not only exemplifies their evolution as artists but also highlights their strong connection to the Canadian music scene, which has been foundational in their rise to prominence.
