Deafheaven got me into shoegaze, I was already into blackmetal. It was like discovering chocolate ice cream after eating hot fudge your whole life.

[@Blandy778]

This is my favorite comment

[@TeacherJuanMQ]

Same happened to me, but with Alcest

[@Vemberwost]

this is so cool, for me it was exactly the other way around haha

[@philipphaas1998]

Shouldnt Black Metal be the chocolate ice cream?

[@coban516]

this band is absolutely the best crossover and emotional act of this new century, but people still call them hipsters. Audiotree thanks for been the best live platform of the net.

[@coban516]

you must be a very cold person, thats fine, sorry for you.

[@dredgtones]

Soft Punk , you couldn’t create a band with 1/3 of the talent these guys have . You suck .

[@aazaranis6]

Everyone is someone's hipster. People should just listen to what they like the sound of, and not judge the beards/moustaches the musicians keep and the clothes they wear.

Finally a mature comment, thanks Çoban

[@stuartsarre]

The post-rock and black metal screaming overlapped at the start of this track is so awesome. Deafheaven are incredible live too.

[@7hotfuzz7]

I can understand people not thoroughly enjoying the vocals. “Black metal” style vocals took me the longest of anything to get into. But I mean I honestly couldn’t imagine this music with anything other than them. I legit couldn’t imagine it would sound good with actual singing. I feel it that the instruments provide so much melody and harmony that adding in vocals would clash way too much. They would have to be really powerful to keep up and it would be too “un-dynamic” for a whole album. Their vocals are pretty much the same level but it’s when they are present and when they aren’t that makes them dynamic. Idk anyone else kinda feel like that?

[@maagiic1311]

let me point out that "black metal style vocals" is, actually, "actual singing" :)

[@AJ-mo6mw]

They're a texture not a focus which is exactly how it should be with instrumentals this good

[@7hotfuzz7]

DTH SWN yes! Exactly what I was thinking

[@Growlizing]

To me, the vocals are another instrument. Like the distorted guitar, but more human.

[@ckokomo808]

Definitely agree with these. For me, I remember listening to them but didn’t “get” it and couldn’t stand the vocals, but now I hear them as an emotive instrument.

[@kennysofyan3452]

The sound production is unreal 😭😭

[@PClemente2120]

It really is fucking perfect, everything is balanced so well. It captures how the song sounds on the album, but also captures how tight Deafheaven are live

[@maimunzubair7462]

betul bro

[@thediversun]

Sounds better than the studio version

[@zbridgjpxupzm]

I agree. I like this more than the CD. not that the CD is bad, it is just a little bit over-produced.

[@omgwasgeht]

This sounds even better than the studio version.

[@Jasmine-mw6vl]

this is one of the best live performances of a song i have EVER heard, like fuck this is amazing

[@Glass_Caskets]

Audiotree is on a totally new level with their productions

[@jordanchilds9205]

Most of the comments boil down to “I would like it if it was less unique” - There was always a disconnect in my miserable music library between my bloody valentine and burzum now there isn’t

[@YodaZemunski]

Well said! For me, personally, it was an absolute joy to discover a fine line between Gun Club and A Place To Bury Strangers. That band is Bambara (they also have an Audiotree sesh). You should check it out :)

[@wychwoodmusic]

Perfectly said, thank you. Jesu married shoegaze and metal together seamlessly years ago, but I love how you can hear both elements even more clearly - and specifically black metal - in Deafheaven.

[@chilibeanpaste]

Ill be checking out jesu next. Yeah these dudes actually got me to listen to black metal. Im into anything that rocks. especially those who mix styles.

[@chucklepadory]

To everyone dissing the vocals 1. Gorge actually does sing on this album 2. Read the lyrics. He’s one of the best writers in metal

[@redrobotmonkey]

The guy who did vocals for that also is on "Near". It's Not clarke

[@chucklepadory]

redrobotmonkey who is it then boss? I’ve heard from multiple people it’s gorge. I did think it was one of the guitarists at first tho

[@redrobotmonkey]

The guy's name is Ben Chisholm. Don't listen to "people", do better research. Even pitchfork got it wrong. Also his name is George.

[@chucklepadory]

redrobotmonkey lol I know his name I’m very tired. I love ben he plays with Chelsea so good shit didn’t know it was him thanks 👍🏻

[@dotanhedonia317]

What the fuck lol the lyrics are easily the weakest part of deafheaven, on songs like sunbather theyre nice but look at something like tunnel of trees and youd be glad you cant hear anything hes enunciating

[@MyLittleEmoKid]

I think this is the only time I've seen George's hair dry

[@existexit]

I think this is the only time I've seen George not wear a black button up.

[@coryleblanc]

what? why does he wet his hair lol?

[@firstnamelastname9390]

I think this is the only time I've seen no one in the audience

[@Himihan]

@@coryleblanc He's been getting his hair wet before going on stage since he's grown his hair out. Probably to psyche himself up before performing. Helps evoke that feeling of self-disregard his lyrics touch on. You can really let it all out if you don't care about anything. Sorry, that answer was a little too long.

[@guilhermetavares5035]

has science gone too far?

[@supernaut669]

Yup

[@cassettiquette6103]

With all life profane The ladles cradling Streams of buttermilk Current stretch out And alabaster lips unseal So I may recall The soft timbre of Whisper in its stillness Still Alabaster lips unseal So I may recall I may recall The soft timbre of Whisper in its stillness Still Now When a fawn Stumbles into the road Honeydew high And deep in afterglow Mind swarming Mind small Honeydew high Transforming the soul On purple sand verbena I forgive its delusion Caress its world view Super bloom Shelter canary yellow eyes Then search to pin the legs Of the stalking dog That lends its teeth To sticky, sad bedlam War cries quake through lurching light I bury a blade between its ribs Bear hug the soft canine frame Then smear ash Then smear the ash on its brow All who have forgotten Remember now Remember now Now

[@AnyaKittyMeow]

it's my top listened on spotify for 2 years in a row now. just never get tired of the song

[@bobunitone]

Cool to see who plays what guitar part finally!

[@PClemente2120]

I never knew all of my favorite guitar melodies on this album were from Shiv, Shiv has really helped propel the band's sound making this album a whole new beautiful beast!

[@cassettiquette6103]

Shiv does some beautiful work here. He said in a recent video or interview that he had more contribution on this album. Nice to see that. Kerry writes good stuff but seeing a band evolve and share in that process is a promising thing in terms of longevity.

[@bobunitone]

Yeah, saw them live recently and was cool to see. I wondered who did all the Brian May influenced guitar work on that album and it was Shiv.

[@silasfitzgerald7887]

Yeah pretty cool that they trade playing the rhythm and leads throughout the song

[@Koskicat]

That is one of the best videos I've ever seen. The sound quality is unreal, flood lights, the camera, the shading, the atmosphere. Thank you to everyone involved, you made something amazing.

[@sebastianaciares661]

One of the finest songs ever made

[@genoswovlehart5927]

Oh snap another one!!! Thank you so much! The camera work is top notch! Love it!

[@robstephens3506]

All this hate on George's vocals just prove that there are some that will miss the point entirely. If you don't get it, move on to something more understandable to you. Something easier for your pallet. Anyone that's ever seen this band live would probably agree that George commands the attention of the audience and receives it just as much as the rest of the band.

[@billsutherland3935]

He grabbed my attention last night, and made me laugh. It was like a parody.

[@TheCivildecay]

I like all kinds of vocals, but I believe his Black metal vocals are pretty monotone and are the weakest part of the music. Other bands keep it fresh by mixing up vocalists/vocal styles over the song.

[@MoeThermodynamics]

Great recording! It sounds really close to the album version. The lights from outside and the ones from the auditorium blended nicely

[@spacemanrocks]

Beautiful, beautiful melody, no matter the genre, the music makes feel emotions, this song, this band, makes it

Wasn't really a fan of the new album but this makes me want to give it another listen, well done.

[@WrekWarship]

Definitely give it another go. I love it more and more with every listen. I enjoyed it at first but now this is my favorite album in their discography for sure

[@cassettiquette6103]

Aside from the opening track, I have found the entirety of the album to have a lot of replay value in ways that New Bermuda did not. The album flows very nicely. Flows very well. I listen to it whole cooking or cleaning. New Bermuda commanded attention in parts but this album can serve as good background music to get tasks done to. The only exception really is "Glint." That song is phenomenal and I sit down to listen to it every time. Easily the best song they've ever written, in my opinion. George Clarke has really pulled out all the stops in terms of setting lyrics and they are beautiful. So, definitely give it another shot man.
