Deafheaven - The Gnashing (Official Audio)

[@ngolokantecar]

i cannot stop thinking about the scenario that a random person finds this song and gets the shock of their life when they look for more songs of deafheaven

[@StackLikesAtari]

Comment of the Year

[@NorthCascades]

Yeah that's me today.

[@pamela8329]

Yes.😀Not a metal head, but preordered this one when 1st available.

[@eliezerramos7278]

What songs do you recommend then?

[@jorrickthole6505]

@@eliezerramos7278 anything since 2016 by Ihsahn. Especially his Amr album 👍

[@jeffreystevens8042]

4:41 that ghostly wailing of the guitar is what gets me every time

[@AmbientAirwaves]

One of the greatest guitar plays of all time.

[@RageCFH]

This song gets better the more you listen to it.

[@levijacobalbarrangarcia1298]

a no ma si es cierto

[@swarming1092]

100% agree. Better every time. It’s gorgeous and so powerful.

[@michaelsolomon224]

Second half of this song is some of their best work to date. Dan’s drum fills are mesmerizing.

[@marcobras8014]

I agree, very Abe Cunningham like (one of his biggest influences)

[@QuadiePoo]

Feels like sunbather… just with a different aesthetic. I have no clue how long time fans can dislike this. It feels just as good that album just in a different way. Song rules and I’ve never been as stoked for a deafheaven album as I am now since sunbather

[@licensetoshred]

@@QuadiePoo Yo same here, great vibes on this track

[@iikaruga]

The first time I've ever been happy that a band started using more clean vocals, everything sounds fucking huge with the new songs

[@ericappell801]

pianos become the teeth

[@shawnburs601]

You gotta check out mastodon then ;)

[@alanbrucke]

It's because the clean vocals are timelessly good and not a gimmick.

[@yallgottaunderstand]

@@alanbrucke Are you implying harsh vocals are a gimmick? They've been present in an entire genre of music for almost half a century, I would say they're a pretty established vocal technique, whether you like them or not.

[@hwlgrmmr]

@@yallgottaunderstand I think he meant the other way around, that bands' switching to clean vocals is sometimes gimmicky.

[@Halochoker]

they are so overqualified to make shoegaze and it shows. im stoked

[@MANTARD]

Whether you like the new sound or not, an undeniable fact is that this band excels at whatever they try to do.

[@TehSuperbeast]

I feel like that was the point. Yeah, they could make some more albums like Sunbather, but the band wanted to expand and explore. I'm absolutely down for it. As much as I love the early stuff. Gonna see them with Coheed towards the end of this month in Denver. FUCKING STOKED.

[@FlyingPirahna1]

This change in direction is so fucking good. I love all their stuff, but part of what makes them so exciting is that they push themselves on every album, and I honestly think introducing clean vocals will do a lot in terms of opening up a ton of avenues for their songwriting.

[@aaronfolmsbee4433]

Infinite Granite is proving to be a huge turn in sound and mood - but I CANNOT WAIT to hear how this album gets added into their live show.

[@alexG-xj7ff]

What a brilliant songwriting, solo at the end is out of this world beautiful and I actually prefer this Deafhaven with clean vocals.

[@hambaallah-mn1em]

i never think Deafheaven as a black metal band, i always catch the post rock vibe they give. When you consider them as a post rock band (that fuse black metal or some other music elements) i think you'll see them in a different light. I remember back in 2012 when they explode and i mention something to their guitarist on Twitter and got replied, when i said that The Pecan Tree sounds a lot like Jesu song's The Small Wonder and he replied that he fused Foo Fighters song to that riff. Ever since i never thought of them as a black metal band, but they really incorporate element of black metal really well. Props to the sound of the vocal and the drum.

[@Rvu72]

yep....i also never considered them as metal. They are too post rock-y to be called a metal band.

[@callmeVHS]

They're "post-metal." If i remember right, They started calling themselves that.

[@SnackJar]

This is full blown dream pop

[@Gravityys]

Don't care that they've abandoned the Black Metal sound, this is as good as anything they've ever done.

[@editnosmirc4489]

Music like this is what's keeping me alive and pushing forward.

[@luervo]

I feel some kind of Anathema-inspired era for this new Deafheaven. Loving it!

[@michelleashton1068]

Anathema 😍

[@Maxminus69]

the best deafheaven song so far imo, cant stop listening

[@JonSudano]

George's cleans are very Pallbearer-like

[@Kevinhonhep]

Truth, really sweet

[@importedtv]

A little interpolish

[@gregreece7489]

Are we talking WWF or am I off?

[@johnh7458]

I was more thinking Sunny Day Real Estate, but i can see what you are saying.

[@headbangersballroom662]

I see pallbearer....i like instantly

[@Антон-п5ц2д]

Can't stop listening this album.

[@epicfox567]

While I hope they are pulling an Alcest and will return to the metal one day, I do appreciate their experimentation. The band is of course killing it.

[@khold7560]

Beautiful voice and sound too. One of the best songs of the year 👏👏👏🎵🎶🍂🎩🖤🥂

[@realDeor]

this whole album was majestic. its my new favorite. the last 2 tracks really brought out the old Deafheaven. loved it 🤟

[@berrys.2764]

They evolve, perfect!! I love this song

[@sumdawgtwigg]

George and the whole band has it no matter what style they go for. Full shoegaze for the win.

[@melancholy3806]

I cant explain how DFVHN makes me feel,its a surprise everytime i heard them,its a full roller coaster of emotions ♡ 🥀

[@meitalpo]

George Clarke + Kerry McCoy + Daniel Tracy + Shiv Mehra + Chris Johnson = A bunch of brilliant and beautiful minds 🖤 You did it guys!! Hear these howls embrace the gnashing 🔥❤️‍🔥🖤✊🏼

[@poponachtschnecke]

This sounds very peri-apocalyptic to me. Like, the world is burning down around you, and everything is very intense, but your imminent destruction is a foregone conclusion.

[@televisaoassassina9822]

Yeah and I feel like the person singing doesn't really care as they are somewhat enthusiastic about it and they need to explicitly tell someone else "I know what this costs us".

[@Dragonlochd0815]

This is brilliant...i did not expect an album like this, but i totally love the two new songs.

[@dassonntagskind]

Absolutely stunning song, genius songwriting, top-noch production, unbelievably excited for this record!

[@melancholy3806]

I blasted this on full volume today totally worth it

[@nathancox9954]

these are the best MS windows screen savers I've ever seen

[@razo9113]

I was honestly quite surprised to hear clean vocals and nothing similar to any of their previous albums. At first I was hesitant but I kept listening to it and it completely grew on me. It’s some sort of progressive rock shoe gaze mix and I’m on board. Excited to hear the rest of the album!

[@greghyde6668]

The solo at the end of this is boss.

[@TheCrissmo]

Siempre he visto que Deafheaven es mucho más que una banda de Black Metal, es Post Rock, es Post Metal, es Shoegaze... Es indescifrable y eso la hace genial

[@austintighe1722]

The guitar solo at the end is pretty cool

[@lidiamelero4091]

this is my new go-to song when I need to cry.

[@zlanj3693]

I feel so lucky to have discovered this band recently, I was already a huge shoegaze fan and this album will kick ass, but I listened to sunbather and holy shit sign me up for that stuff too

[@xenogorwraithblade2538]

New Bermuda on acid is one of the single greatest musical experiences I've ever had. Baby Blue will absolutely melt your brain.

[@beetee2089]

They have to open with this one live.

[@remmnm]

Love this song so much, makes me feel so relaxed. I love the vocals. Great job guys 🖤

[@XXzombieslayer666]

This is absolutely fantastic.

[@luscrrr]

ppl need to stop expecting artists to do exactly what the fans want or the exact same thing forever. i only expect that deafheaven do whatever the fuck they want and what feels true to them because that's what creativity is about.

[@danaliosha]

Amen

[@prama9706]

George voice reminds me of Mike Lessard from The Contortionist. Love this.

[@Gravityys]

Phenomenal band and vocalist, hope we get some new tunes from them soon.

[@prama9706]

@@Gravityys Agree! Also, Clairvoyant is their best release in my opinion.

[@emmaleforte9835]

I love this song in every way holy crap, I can't believe how much this song means to me, I'm glad I got to hear it, can't wait for the full album release!!

[@independentmusicpromotion]

This band and this label are incredible.

[@cordelletsitty4734]

So Interpol-ish, it slaps!! Just now discovered, thank you random suggested playlist .

[@peterfleming1517]

Brilliant melodic bass work on this

[@arcraim]

JUST PERFECT MY GUYS, MUCH LOVE FROM BRAZIL

[@evilwarnings2419]

I can easily live with the band moving completely into this direction in future albums. Stellar sound!

[@GovernorNeo]

deafheaven never disappoints

[@geoffsearle2778]

Second excellent track. How have I never heard of these guys before???

[@jaysans144]

old stuff is good, sure, but this is so much more heartfelt and REAL.

Already on Spotify if someone's waiting for the video to premiere

[@noXwaxXgoXfast]

Love always!!!!

[@kandelgoat9512]

DFHVN is evolving and I fucking love it.

[@bray1872]

I didn't know Deafheaven used clean vocals, such a awesomely unique sound!

[@nostalgicdystopian]

I listen to fucking everything. From Hiphop to dsbm and I never fanboyed so hard.

[@robgrano6814]

Folks are saying Alcest but I'm hearing more Amusement Parks on Fire, at least in the first half.

[@creekandseminole]

Nice comparison for sure. I can hear it too

[@estebanrodriguez3419]

There are all these textures right now. Is great.

[@samuzII-V-I]

Loving these new tracks.

[@zersch.]

Big fan of the old albums. Was shocked by but actually really loved Great Mass of Color. This one didn't do it for me in the same way. Still excitedly awaiting my zoetrope vinyl tho.

[@Matt-nl5gj]

My experience as well

[@PatternAgainstUser1]

Yeah this song doesn't feel like it has much identity or direction, just sort of meanders along for 5 minutes. Great Mass of Color has shown there's still going to be some great tracks on the new album though

[@billyalarie929]

THIS IS SO GOOD

[@YorkshireDave]

Man, seeing this live with that ending would be a quasi-spiritual experience no doubt. Hope they are able to come back to the UK soon

[@jeremyfultineer7]

Good luck boys, nobody follows a killer. I loved Sunbather, I’ve listened since but this is their best song. I will die on this hill. Fuck this is so good.

[@sinnertrain7405]

The new music reminds me somewhat of this English shoegaze band Last Leaf Down, albeit heavier and less swimming in reverb and delay. The vocals on this sound a bit like the singer for Interpol. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing the entire album. This song and the other one I've heard are good songs too as far as songwriting goes.

[@decembersix8206]

I like it! We all need a change sometimes and it's OK

[@johnpoffenbarger8688]

If you like this, also check out Catherine Wheel, Swervedriver & My Vitriol - All were heavier shoegaze bands.

[@madvillain8618]

so excited for this album

[@NishioHD]

wow, this is sooooo good!

[@ben-ty9jo]

Im absolutely loving this new sound. If the rest of the album is as solid as the first two singles, this might be an AOTY contender for me.

[@poponachtschnecke]

I just got this as an ad, and when I went to copy a link for the song I had to listen to a Lindt ad. Feels ironic.

[@doyalg]

As someone who's always liked the music of deafheaven but couldn't get into the gutteral screams. This change is very welcome. Killer song.

[@OscarWithC]

you need to push yourself to start to learn to like the screams its like fine wine or whiskey, belive me try and listend to it alot and you will see the charm in the end! :)

[@doyalg]

@@OscarWithC I like screams that have some melodic elements to them. His do not.

[@pamela8329]

I feel like I discovered a treasure chest of gold, hopefully in the post by now

[@stupidpuma1]

I enjoy this greatly. Thank you

[@gordonstoltski]

I'm predicting that Infinite Granite will be their breakthrough album (more accessible to the masses), and it will make them filthy rich. 🤑 🤑🤑. Great songs and the production is superb.

[@mmafan72]

Sounds good to me. Black brick is still one of my favorites though

IN BLUR!!!

[@hjjj1797]

Buried secrets, mythic meanings In tender oceans spilling crimson A leaking thimble, flowing, fragile Oozing tension into blue Hear these howls, heard in our present I know what this costs us Hear these howls, embrace the gnashing I know what this costs us I know it's exhausting you A hush (Without you, I am hushed) a hush (Without you, I am hushed) like cloaking garment over shivers (Without you, I am hushed) (Without you, I am hushed) in this honeyed season (Without you, I am hushed) why are the boys bleeding? (Without you, I am hushed) have your tears touched (Without you, I am hushed) someone's eyes tonight? Can you hear these howls? Heard in our present I know what this costs us Hear these howls, embrace the gnashing I know what this costs us I know it's exhausting you Now I see, now I see (you're weeping with reason) Now I see, now I see You're weeping with reason Now I see, now I see (you're weeping with reason) Now I see, now I see You're weeping with reason

While my personal preference will always be for the heavier stuff, I really admire the creativity, and willingness to try a new direction. Two months later, and I love it. Just took a while...

[@alisoufi362]

Same for me, at first i couldn't get into it well, but when i listened to it last night, that was something else, maybe lots of bands tried this kind of music but for me it still has unique vibe of Deafheaven.

[@PROGRAMMEDCARWHIZ]

Song of the year contender for sure. Getting major Interpol vibes from George’s vocals (that’s a really good thing)

[@bitbat9]

Man you must not listen to a lot of music if you think this is song of the year contender
