Holy Fawn - "Death is a Relief" (Official Video)

[@xanderislostagain7515]

This band. This freaking band man. This band has managed to make the sound of my soul.

[@mdp720]

Just saw them open for Deafheaven, but I hadn't heard of them before. I'm impressed that all 4 of them get equal attention on stage. They all play side by side, even the drums, and all 4 of them sing. I don't think I've ever seen a band do that.

[@stephenbrand9196]

Coldplay does have all 4 of their members sing regularly but obviously Coldplay is not as memorable or as interesting as Holy Fawn.

[@walterworrall]

How interesting.

[@GrowwithCourt]

Deafheaven is my favorite metal band.

[@413fame]

Code Orange does that.

[@philiphill6906]

Check out Huntsmen if you've not already

[@gucewicz]

Holy Fawn and Sleep Token are the best things I discovered on Spotify in 7 years!

[@Mubvekhar]

I feel like Holy Fawn and Crywolf could make a great colab. Different styles, but I think they’d mesh well.

[@BAMFlicous]

After hearing this live it’s just so great to hear it in full with good headphones on. Song fucks hard.

[@peppyhare6662]

Eyyy. Misery Signals. Nice.

[@kdbrown777]

@@peppyhare6662 Love that Misery Signals album.

[@Youshallbeeatenbyme]

I heard them live a few months back with midwife and deafheaven, it was a blast and they played this song as their last song.

[@alex_xro]

yes, my kind of music is the one that gets you devastated

[@themedisin]

Death isn't a relief if you don't get to vibe the new holy fawn video

[@danielmariotti6562]

Video is 🔥🔥🔥

[@evanmitzner4259]

Am I crying? It appears I’m crying, love this band so god damn much

[@ZitiPatrol]

These guys opened for Thrice last night in NYC it was pretty dope to see them happy while playing crazy deep stuff.

[@jay_ender]

Just when I thought these guys could never top Death Spells. So amazing. 🖤

[@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh]

Legitimately one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. Picking up some Beach House, Phantogram, Explosions in the sky, Deftones influence. Just wow

[@sniperturtle1]

Go two layers deeper. Who influenced Beach House, Phanto, EITS and Defs? Those are the bands you truly want to sit down and listen to. That's how you find out that your heroes have borrowed/taken/stolen tons from many others original creations.

[@MiguelRamirez-cr7gh]

@@sniperturtle1 No denying that. There’s too many artists from the past we have no idea about. Who are you specifically referring to? If you go back to Cocteau twins, My bloody valentine, The Smiths, The cure, etc, that’s still not far enough

[@ferrenberg]

I'm glad this sounds a lot like Death Spells, yet the sound from what came after the debut is still present

[@eall5630]

had n0 idea this was the same guy fr0m 0wl and penny, listened 2 him 10 years ag0, still listening n0w

[@randypayne9137]

What an amazing song It grabbed me from the beginning. But when she drank and the screams kicked in... I wept. This song tore through me.

[@miguelb.556]

Man, this band, it's perfect. That's it. Cheers from Guatemala, C.A.

[@paulblenkiron478]

BRILLIANT

[@bbbernardooo]

what is it about holy fawn tracks that i cant stop playing them on repeat, just hits so good

[@jaredbryce7964]

Just heard about these guys from a review I read...really interesting stuff...reminds me a little of An Autumn for Crippled Children, but with more emphasis on the ethereal, cleaner side...great stuff!

[@rhysgraf1676]

Amazing artwork in this video, so many emotions through their sound and lyrics and to add something so eerie yet beautiful is just amazing So much depth, its not everyone's taste I love how they're my most favourite thing atm No one will understand But I always will

[@tokiwartooth8229]

Fucking love these guys. Their manager Kris is cool as hell too.

[@Ne0nBlaqk]

Loved when Holy Fawn said they were going to play a new song, and now it’s officially released. I love this band.

[@GrowwithCourt]

My favorite song right now is either Death is a Relief, or Yawning (by this band.) Instantly love you guys sound.

[@walterworrall]

Some classic reggae right here!

[@untetheredmoon6971]

God, I love this band!

[@michaelcuneo9746]

This is magnificent work. I am astounded.

[@TUNNELOFREVERB]

Oh my god this is incredible

[@michaelchamberlain4508]

Was at the Detroit date and caught this on Snapchat and have been listening back to remember what it feels like to vibe to this one. Now it's out and I'm complete ❤️ Pls never change

[@lukebenoit256]

ONE OF THE GREATEST SHOEGAZE BANDS EVER

[@Floydian4everr]

This is NOT SG, I know everyone wants to think that but a wispy voice and reverb are not all that is needed to be a SG song. The black metal screaming instantly takes this out of SG classification

[@DarranKern]

[@Reieva]

First time I’ve ever cried to a song, damn I’m speechless

[@joshuadtedd]

YES!!!

[@theeunknown4359]

An absolutely brilliant, heavanly song to miraculously follow up with honors to their masterpiece of Death Spells, and their Act 1, curtain dropping Realms prior to that. It (unknowingly how) supercedes the production accomplishments of the latter two albums, but in a preserved, natural easing of elemental value that ages perfectly, missing any other bands' noticable willfulness to make their sound sweeter. The four members from the Phoenix Metro area of the desert, Alex, Ryan, Austin and Evan create an audible oasis to the thirsting ear of rock fans who want the best of intricate, yet appealing, musicianship, combined with phenomenal production and engineering perfection that calms the aching Eustachian Tube from the almost Black Metal-esque thunderstorm breakdowns, immediately after climaxing your senses, providing enough breath to calm your heart rate before the next exhale of emotional distortion and vocals. Overall, best band to come out, different, sonically thoughtful, and humble that Ive seen in a very long time. Do yourselves a favor and pick any of their albums, for any circumstance that allows you uninterrupted listening pleasure, song to song.

[@LuciaEverblack]

Everything about this song and video is pure bliss. There is so much contrast throughout it. Well done!

[@Chinatsudragon]

Oh Jesus, this is worth the wait.

[@CP281]

I've been thinking about the meaning of the video. Super well-made.

[@the_terrorizer]

Found these guys in 2019 and it had been a long time since I'd been obsessed with a song/have a song actually give me goosebumps (Dark Stone) - I knew these guys would continue to blow up, and I can't wait for the future. This new album is better than I even expected. That Deafheaven tour w Holy Fawn is legitimately one of the best shows I've ever been to, and I've been going to shows for 20 years. Not just their insanely huge sound, but also Deafheaven's CRUSHING performance. MAN

[@monicaniemiec3922]

The vid reminds me of True Detective (S1) Zodiac and No Country For Old Men. Fantastic song too!

[@noelfodi387]

Incredible song.

[@Poignant_Ritual]

Wish I could know what the sample at the end originally said. I love the fogginess anyways, like spirits reassuring the dying and bidding farewell to the world. Gets me crying so easy.

[@frootijen]

One of the best shows live that I have seen to date. They are phenomenal to watch! Love this band and they are quickly becoming one of my faves.

The video's subjects were too direct compared to their prior videos', which somehow diffused the novelty about it for me. I just figured I'd be honest and mention that, but the music still sounded fun. Their other music and videos are good too.

[@bryceh3126]

Can someone explain the ending of the video?? Where did the witch go? What did she drink? Why is her dress so poor looking and in the beginning of the video she was wearing tights and at the end she was not.

The black figure is death, aka the grim reaper, she commits suicide (being the relief of her woes), he has another notch in his infinate belt of musts.
