Metridium Fields is technically the second release by San Francisco-based doom metal outfit Giant Squid. The material on the album was originally released in 2004 as a self-released album entitled Metridium Field, but after signing with The End Records in 2005, the band decided to re-record the entire album and re-release it as their debut for the label. It was released on August 22, 2006, and brought the band critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. The titular song is named for Metridium, a genus of sea anemone.
