Album cover was supposed to be the colour you see when you close your eyes and the sun is shining on you. Super cool.

Cool retrospective, Anthony! I didn't really get into this record when it first came out, and I still haven't given it a chance. I'm probably not going to. Thanks!

I was depressed and massively overweight in 2013. This album lifted me up so much. It got me out of the house and I would walk around my city for hours listening to it. It was so uplifting walk in the sun to this. I lost 150lbs, got a job, met a girl (showed her this album and took her to see them) had a kid and changed my life. This album is so important for me it’s crazy. I don’t know what I’d be like today without it. It was a kick up the ass I needed. Great stuff.

This was actually the record that got me into black metal and I'm forever grateful for it. It stands to this day one of my favorite albums of all time.

Huge DH fanboy here, loved this album, loved their later releases even more. They are one of the most enduring blackgaze acts out there and Sunbather still holds up 10 years later. They've influenced a lot of the music I listen to now.

“I am my father’s son / I am no one / I cannot love / It’s in my blood” still knocks me on my ass every time I hear it

[@manynukes11]

10 years later, it's still making black metal fans mad

[@cesarv2804]

I'll never forget thinking this was a pop album just because of the cover.

[@canceresbunny]

I really love Ordinary Corrupt Human Love.

[@caoimhingutierrez1242]

'I want to be there' by sadness is actually a pretty good black gaze album, and it's decently recent

[@ryanmoorman7799]

Dream House, Sunbather, and The Pecan Tree are all 10/10 tracks. Not many songs can take me to the place 'The Pecan Tree' does emotionally. Stunning album.

[@noelci8846]

I always find that people underrate how important the Screamo influence was for their sound.

[@WillowAelfin]

I'm going to see Deafheaven perform this album in its entirety next week! Super excited 😁

[@theamazingsushi2850]

One of my favorite albums of all time. An experience that makes you feel every emotion in one.

[@GustavoSilva-mn1dp]

Sunbather, Celestial Lineage, Marrow of the Spirit, Teethed Glory and Injury, Eccailes de Lune, Roads to the North. The post/atmospheric scene was thriving in the 2010s. Had so much fun discovering all of these amazing works back then ❤

[@TheTrueFool]

I recall the vitriol within the metal community about the "hipster metal" of Deafheaven and Pantopticon. It's kind of funny to look back on, especially with Panopticon because Austin Lunn has become so respected within the genre.

[@SuperBrutalCabbage]

Sunbather is honestly my favourite song of all time. I genuinely can't put into words how much i love it.

[@Myiic]

Somthing about the soundscape here, it never fails to make me choke up. Like a ballet preformed from pure spite. Burning sunset skies painted over a war. Anger and pain accentuated by beauty.

[@andrewwdavvid]

The transition from Irresistable to the title track is one of my favorites of all time.

[@Cabal97]

Deafheaven is one of the most interesting bands in the genre over the last 10 years. I've seen them live a few times, and they are as ferocious as they are shoegazy. Love it and bring on the haters.
