The band was assembled in 2005 by Ofer Meiri, an Israeli musician and music producer. He gathered several renowned Israeli musicians – namely Efrat Gosh and Dana Berger – as guest vocalists. Efrat Gosh, although not officially a member of Metropolin, is the main singer on several of its more popular tracks, and continues to frequently appear with the band in gigs.
The band has become immensely successful in Israel, riding on the popularity of tracks from the self-titled album: "Angels", "Without Saying A Word" (Shalom Hanoch cover), "Doesn't Say Anything" and "Sleeping Without Dreams". These tracks also received high amounts of airtime (broadcasting) in Israel Defense Forces Radio and Galgalatz.
Metropolin reached Gold status and won the 2006 Israel Album of the Year contest.
