Metatron is the third album of Bill Laswell and Buckethead's project Praxis. This album concentrates on the core band of Buckethead, Brain and Laswell, rather than featuring a large number of guests like the earlier albums.

Ths album includes calm interludes like the songs "Cathedral Space" and "Double Vision", this album also contains some mysterious voice samples like in the song "We Are Not Sick Men!" and some of Buckethead's typic noises very well known like in the song "Armed (TSA Agent #5)" Buckethead plays the melody of "Jingle Bells" with a distorted sampler guitar, also in the song "Warcraft (Bruce Lee's Black Hour of Chaos)" features kung fu inspired screaming.
