[@nelldogcf]

I love it, the tied up ponytail, white t-shirt tucked into jeans, the punk drum kit with no triggers, the fucking tambourine half way through. It’s like Deafheaven exist purely to annoy the metal elitists and I’m all for it.

I doubt metal elitists will be upset with this music just because of his hairstyle.... I am sure not.

@@Koskicat you'd be surprised lol. metal elitists are a different breed, man

[@Pancakespls]

T-shirts tucked into jeans is metal tho

[@BrendanMacWade]

Real metal elitists are very cool people. They love New Wave and Goth as well. So I cross over to their camp and they cross over to mine. I get what you mean, though. I think you mean the bros who think that black metal should strictly be black metal. No cocktails allowed. deafheaven is a cocktail.

maybe he IS using triggers and just uses fucked up sound files lol that would be EXTRA fuck you righjt there

[@bhibhas9433]

[@beeteeka]

He has a solid technique and he nails it in every live performance. But he's doing kinda unnecessary fills since New Bermuda. I can't get this.

[@David88Schmavid]

I've said this before, but whoever sets up and mixes/masters the audio for these videos needs a 100x raise. Perfection.

[@BetaBreaking]

I'm guessing they rehearse with a mixer and take it with them when they go on tour or for recording live videos. That's the best way they can get their mix with only having to make little adjustments for the venue.

I'm in a similar boat, though I grew up with Beatles, NuMetal and the sort. But I get the feel you're talking about. There's something very sincere about the performances that Radiohead, Sigur Ros put out and same can be said about Deafheaven. I need to check out Interpol and Slowdive. If you have not checked out Karnivool, I highly suggest it. Go from Sound Awake ---> Asymmetry ---> Themata

[@upsidedownpyramid7617]

It sounds black metal, yet the lyrics aren't about satan or evil, they are utter poetry. I feel like there should be a Deafheaven vs Bosse De Nage, Good vs Evil. One group sings about what's wrong with the world, screaming shoegazy poetry, and the other writes about turning girls into horses and then pissing on them, both are incredible.

[@TotusTuusMaria1984]

I like it too. I like that the vocals are a little lower in the mix. My main complaint of some of their other tracks is that the vocals are too obtrusive for the overall feel. If they were going for black metal I’d sort of get it but over shoegaze sounds the vocals should evoke an emotional feel not an abrasive one. Just my opinion. I’m sure others will vary.

[@boingo5608]
