they stand on their own. both of them. you guys are so senselessly obsessed with this heat and bands that sound exactly like it youll twist your mind to any degree to gain more recognition in your solemn fandom that you are the extensive "like this heat librarian". leave it alone. this heat are better than metabolist but metabolist are better than most hardcore bands like them.

"My summation of the Metabolist sound would be something like “Magma’s Christian Vander jamming with This Heat”, but seeing them as a poor man’s This Heat is rather unfair since they have their own distinct personality beyond the few areas of sound and production (This Heat also had their own studio) that overlap with Brixton’s finest. In place of This Heat’s standard-issue Socialist concerns, Metabolist are often fiercer and weirder, deliberately plugging themselves into a post-Magma “Zeuhl” axis as they growl many of their songs in an invented (?) tongue.

I don't think it's right to say 'not as good as This Heat', Metabolist developed along with many other bands and had its own sound. That's why I changed your description, it was too restrictive and you were comparing them only with one band you probably like more. Plus, I believe Metabolist are darker and colder than This Heat. Now, of course, This Heat couldn't be cold.
