Corrupt Love Across America: Deafheaven Tour Doc Pt. 1

"The last two records were written in really dark places," Deafheaven guitarist Kerry McCoy says in the first episode of our two-part tour doc with the band. "For me, it was a lot of drugs - and not fun ones. And that shit kills your creativity." Enter Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, the band's triumphant fourth album, which was born of new positivity, and behind which the group is touring now. Deafheaven invited us to hop on their bus for an exclusive inside look at life on the road, from the downtime - filled with dancing, swimming, sightseeing, soccer, backstage conversations - to the shows, sweaty, visceral and cathartic. Featuring openers and Deafheaven friends Drab Majesty and Uniform, the tour - like the record - represents a "message of togetherness and wholeness," says singer George Clarke.

Damn, Kerry does look a lot healthier. I'm happy to hear he is doing better.

[@zachwilsonmusic1986]

Man I was thinking the same thing, last time I saw him, he looked awful. So happy that he looks better.

[@rockomundo]

Last time i saw him he did look off, so i hope he's grown better

15 minutes well spent. This was pleasure to watch. Props to cameraman, you are awesome

I love DEAFHEAVEN!! one of the best bands in the world. your music is brutal, but melodic, and is beautiful!!

[@BillyxRansom]

"This slaps" will never not be a hilarious phrase to me

[@Greencheese333]

"This slaps" is infinitively better than any "af" bullshit.

This was so well done. A treat to watch and I hope ya'll release some live performance vids on here or on a dvd or something. God, that's some amazing footage.

[@dillinguuur79]

The whole hipster black metal thing only comes from pure jealousy and hate. Everyone that even thinks that way is just mad because they can't make good music and get paid for it. If I'm mistaken, prove me wrong. I'll wait....

[@-k-b-]

The great thing about this album is dynamic, and the sometimes overly happy moments come off as ominous and melancholic. Definitely one of the album's of the year, best one yet imo from DEHVN

[@ilikecheezepizza]

This was fun to watch.

[@josephsanchez2910]

I’m saddened that it’s not heavier but I would much rather see material from them than none because they’re all dead from drugs and depression.

[@thejman36]

They're milking the whole "I did drugs and went to a dark place" thing for sure. Yeah your guys' life is so hard, fuck off.

[@jackshephard2044]

Just because they're in a band that makes a decent living, does not mean their life is easy. Shut the fuck up.

[@resinated420]

@thejman36 wow really? wow.... sounds like you personally knew what they were all going through, please enlighten us all

Was at the Phoenix show... Deafheaven killed it. Both shows I've been to are some of the best concerts I've seen

[@franlovelsimic8421]

Hyped to see them in Zagreb in October, they get a lot of shit for being creative and while they are hipster I don't mind it one bit. I think they're amazing!

[@JacobPadlock]

Didn't really enjoy the new record that much but I'm really happy that they're all happier and in better health than they were when they were writing the first three records.

[@parkercushingable]

So dope, I saw them in LA and the whole show from the supporting bands to Deafheavens closer was cathartic and epic. I was astounded by their professionalism, the friendliness of the fans and the beautiful venue. Guitar music will save this country

[@jojolewis831]

These guys havent been close to me for like 3yrs. No 8- 12 hr drives! There playing 1 mile from my house in fall. Looking at shoes waiting.

[@TheLoneDeranger]

It's weird seeing Deb Demure in his Human form.

[@sonofboar13]

Glad to hear that shiv is sober-ish and so are the rest of the guys (ish) also glad to see that Kerry lost all that way. Real fast I might add. I’m glad these guys are taking care of themselves.

[@luiscano5416]

Damn I really love this band. The way they combined the post rock, black metal, and brit rock as Oasis makes me love this.

[@Birdseed99]

They are absolutely stunning live.

[@ickoriss]

Wonderfully put together video and a masterwork album. I"m glad to hear they're all healthier and in a better place now. You can definitely here it in the music.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

Thank you for this!! I absolutely love Deafheaven!! My best friend who passed away a few yrs ago got me into them, and I always wonder what he would have thought of the new album and George’s approach to the vox

[@sasquatchpatrol9317]

They made a fan out of me in Seattle. Such a tight performance. You can tell they have their shit together and are enjoying themselves. Look forward to next time.

[@TimothyBIinks]

I really like the album and am glad the guys are doing well, but damn this is a boring if well-shot doc.

Can someone tell me if that fucking amazing intro is from their new album?

[@newbermuda]

The female speaking part is from the first song.

[@illuviium]

What happened to Stephen Clarke? Where is he? Did they replace him?

[@limozeenjenkins]

Oscar Garcia he left the band a few years ago. If I remember right, touring was super tough on him.

[@uncoveringthelost]

I tried watching this but I fell asleep. You're a metal band.

[@chrisjdgrady]

Actually pathetic to try and pigeonhole a band into a genre and be mad that hey don't fit the style you made up for them. They can do whatever they want.

[@uremawifenowdave]

uncoveringthelost are they?

[@kleeraly]

It's a documentary, not a music video. So what if they're metal? You want them to slaughter a goat for the documentary?

[@uncoveringthelost]

Pigeonhole? They're a pretty standard black metal band.

[@uncoveringthelost]

That would be better than sitting around.
