DEAFHEAVEN - 'Vertigo'

From the 2013 release 'Sunbather' out now on Deathwish Inc.

[@dystopia423]

This album is unbelievable. But this song stands out for me. The way it builds up in the beginning to this massive attack sound is insane. Every instrument used in this song is stunning, from the guitar riffs to the bass riffs and Daniels drumming. These songs can really paint a picture in your head and that's what music needs to be. This album/band needs more recognition.

[@yourdad1022]

IKR

[@papafsb444]

It doesn't sound anything like massive attack.

[@theshiverlive]

@@papafsb444 He may not have meant the band but an intensity of music.

барыс 8х8 пизже имхо///🤪

[@chlorinatedpvc6629]

The drummer is the magician of this song.

[@StormKillzone]

I agree Toph but from 10:07 the dude was beyond human

[@Fuhrious]

A fucking men.

[@123100ozzy]

This is prolly one of the best songs in history

[@StormKillzone]

You're not wrong

[@Fuhrious]

Agree. Masterpiece.

[@MagicSwagget12]

George is right - it's actually unbelievable how much Daniel's drumming influenced the shape of the songs, especially this one.

[@UltraUnicorn3000]

11:49 Damn... Gets me everytime, real goosebumps & stuff...

[@illuviium]

I was about to comment this...but then I saw you already did so I'll just reply to it..yes 11:49- the end, is so beautiful.

[@Szili0]

The drum transition at 9:44 gets me every single time. Best moment on the album for me.

[@navigator_g]

That moment sucks.

[@Fuhrious]

@@navigator_g I came back three years later to say fuck you

[@carloslozano2047]

This album is getting better and better, I'm only 5 years late.

[@1naah]

What about me only 10 years late

[@dragonflyd01]

What a sick album cover

[@magnumpineapple277]

With the way the melodies and chord progressions uncontrollably weep, it convinces me that this song is pure grief condensed into sound.

[@andersdemitz-helin1630]

Beauty trapped in a cage, angered, and trying to be left as it is, and not shaped by every fucking eye molding it, trying to get it in to shape. Finally breaking free in a scream. Goosebumps, every time, so far. Listen to it, stay with it. Beauty is NOT what most people expect

[@inkyoolee8786]

Lost in the patterns of youth where the windows shine brightly back at you.

[@yaco77y]

this is one of the few songs that makes me cry

[@ivanhdz497]

If depression would have a melody, surely should be this 11:49

[@mdd47]

from the 8 minute mark to the 9 minute mark of this song is the culmination of every musical fantasy I ever had. Playing that part live on stage must be a damn orgasmic experience

[@ClumpypooCP]

bro i die at that part

[@InfinityPotato97]

Lost in the patterns of youth Where the windows shine brightly Lost in the patterns of youth Where the windows shine brightly back at you

[@MurderMelon666]

Besides the magnificent music another thing i like very much about this album is the fact that it's totally anti-cliché. I mean: it is (Post) Black Metal but it has a pink cover! And it's is called Sunbather, while most BM bands 'sing' about the winter. When I first saw the album (when i didn't knew them yet) it was in the Metal section of the record store, but I thought somebody placed it on the wrong place. It is genius!

[@buriedinspace]

the fucking drumming on this is delicious

[@QuadiePoo]

Best song on the album!

[@ryanking5823]

The section from 5:00 to 10:30 is deafheaven at their absolute best

[@greendagmars]

no one is using the word INNOVATIVE. this is what good art is about.

[@davidkomn9874]

8:05 best riff ever.

[@ONLYTHRASH]

agreed

[@yahstino]

Johannes facts

[@BrettStubbs]

It's the best transition ever

[@Lukewarm111]

It sounds like coming back from the dead to get revenge

[@tiphotisted]

Favorite Sunbather track.

[@6sentient]

05:46 every trve kvlt black metal band wishes they made such riff....

[@jizzdogs]

This fucking song has more levels than candy crush. Dont even normally go for this style but they are absolutely incredible. Totally nail it in every song, riff, melody. + + + + + + + + + +

[@greendagmars]

this song has not left my head in days

[@MiniZilla1999]

This is so damn beautiful, why has this escaped me for so long?

[@arsiksons]

Dammit, I've been listening to this song so many times.. It's so beutiful, so thought provoking...

[@anarchohippie3000]

best song i heard in a very long time.

[@kyriakos_mixalopoulos]

my absolute favourite piece of music

[@zezinhocambalhota972]

This is one of my favorite songs ever. There's nothing about it I don't love, but two things I really need to single out are Dan's drumming (holy fucking shit, his performance is absolutely unbelievable) and that melody at 13:07 (holy fucking shit, it's one of the most heartbreaking things I ever heard)

[@shellgecko]

this is just like porn to my ears

[@Larzy0789]

My favorite track off the record. Probably my favorite track of the year.

[@theovergiver6415]

10:28 and onwards is just beautiful

[@illuviium]

11:49-the end.... damn. Lost in the patterns of youth.

[@jonasbulota7789]

My mate Karl played this song when I was on a solid hit of acid (first time ever) by the Baltic sea back in 2018. Good times.

[@whirlpool4]

I can die happy now

[@ilike2slug]

Epic sounding shit. I know people seem to hate this band for being "hipster" but i could'nt give a fuck as musically this is pretty damn exciting! i love early Darkthrone but get sick of all the modern copy cat type band, at least this is something differant and progressive.

[@admiralackbar8826]

If death has a soundtrack, it is Deafheaven.

[@gutsdozer]

My favorite part of the whole album is that whole section. It starts around 10:25 and builds up to the part at 11:48 and then it's amazing all the way to the end.

[@eric_lander]

... epic masterpiece ...

[@hardcoremasterpiece]

I'm in love with that drums! #omfg

8:00 ♥♥♥ EARGASM.

[@Adyman182]

If this isn't playing during the final 15 minutes of my life then I ain't dying

[@carlosalbertocaamanosilva4278]

beautiful ... speechless ...

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

One of the best songs of the past decade

[@spagetti001]

i'm not really into black metal but.. damn.

[@juliachisolm]

same here...my weird english teacher showed us this today and I really like this band

[@Abarataphoto]

Well, although it has some elements that resembles it, this is not really Black Metal, so you're safe!

[@spagetti001]

god I hate genre wankery. blast beats+shrieks+distortion equals black metal to me, and it doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

[@Abarataphoto]

If you're saying that " blast beats+shrieks+distortion equals black metal" you're falling into the same wankery ;)

[@spagetti001]

not really. I'm emphasising some basic elements that I associate with the style.

[@burtfiasco]

I loved 'Roads to Judah' and this album definitely didn't disappoint.

[@Drak3ZZ]

I've been waiting for a record like this... for a very long time. Absolutely brilliant.

[@gmadman7]

blackgaze

[@thelastidea20]

3:28 the sound of an agonizing soul

[@StormKillzone]

For me the best metal track ever written

[@evanobrien8662]

yes, but 11:48 gets me every time. those chills. favorite moment on the entire album.

[@user-ls1fz7tb6q]

Какое же наслаждение слушать Deafheaven!!!

[@Meltscherz]

13:10 La manera en la que se le desgarra la voz a George es hermosa.

[@Fuhrious]

Fucking crushing those drums. Definitely the fucking driving force of the song. 9:44 that fucking double bass pedal gets me EVERYTIME.

[@oukt237]

5:02 and there is fulfillment! My fav song of them!!!

[@Handplottedblackhole]

I remember trying this album when it came out a few years back, and not managing to get past Dream House. I have no clue why, it took me this long to really bother with this band again, this song is a fucking gem.

[@dougbrady5807]

I think we all know what it would sound like if Explosions in the Sky went metal.

[@ThatOneGuy7550]

Doug Brady If Explosions in the Sky had a baby with black metal outfit, Emperor and that kid listened to My Bloody Valentine and Converge.

[@StormKillzone]

explosions in the sky are very overrated tbh

[@pajorpeter3235]

Absolute dreaming deahly noisy sweet music cross my mind pure art

[@shahrzad764]

Bravo!!!! What a masterpiece!

[@morethanahand]

I love not being disappointed by an album I was super amped to hear.

[@NaturalHealingAlchemist]

🎶This is absolutely Amazing!!👏🏻 🖤🤘🏻

[@84nnik]

One of the best

[@Tatoshka87]

It has that wow-effect when you listen to it, for me at least. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@machomarty8238]

Neige brought me here. Good stuff, surprised that I've never heard of them before.

[@buriedinspace]

holy shiiiitttttt yes yes yes

[@WeAreTheInsurgents]

I usually hate black metal but... God damn, this album tears you apart without remorse

[@MarylandResident]

+WeAreTheInsurgents this is shoegaze dude.

[@MarylandResident]

CyrusVan Beethoven You alright dude?

[@cyrusvanbeethoven8799]

I guess, maybe I was too raw about it, I just get annoyed at nitpicking what each genre is. Sorry for being an ass, and thanks for asking.

[@Snarl616]

Agreed, this is good, but shouldn't be called black metal. call it post, post rock, shoegaze, post metal, whatever, I don't care, I just don't think it is black metal.

[@WeAreTheInsurgents]

***** I mean more in an emotional sense rather than a violent sense

[@Brainwashed91]

4:30 stunning. amazing album.

[@aompes]

i dont know why but i see war in reverse when i heard this

[@PaliThrall]

this is the most progressive arthouse gangster rap ever

That part in 3:29

[@kevinmartel7021]

I'm pretty new to DFHVN. I didn't took much attention before, but Sunbather truly hooked me. You can't be wrong we Deathwish, right?

[@tiphotisted]

Very excellent!

[@azhanhebat]

4:30 my best part

[@ericmsandoval]

Don't try to categorize it. Seriously. You either like it or you don't.

[@ronaldcastellanos7096]

Porque no dejan de categorizar la música ??? es buena música y ya ¡ disfrútenla ¡¡ solo digo que los puristas del black sigan escuchando el black metal que les gusta y listo, sí les parece basura esto, pues sigan su camino, no tienen porque detenerse en criticar algo que en definitiva no les gusta. Sigan siendo "felices" en su infelicidad, pero dejen sus opiniones poco constructivas para otra ocasión ¡

[@dennydonius]

wow!! man!! this is sick!

[@aggszakall]

RIP Asap Yams!

[@LightOurFire]

such a wonderful tune!

[@amaru250]

i love em both!

[@arnaudg.6041]

Ah ah ! I was looking for the Hard-Rock band Machine Vertigo ! Quite good though !

[@suprhero1]

am i the only one that thinks they are the PINK FLOYD of Black Metal?

[@johnappleseed8369]

more like the Abba of post-industrial vegetation death metal

[@merlijntoby8528]

+John Appleseed lmaooo

[@asdwh1998]

post psychedelic potato dubstep

[@shru_u]

Yes, you are the only one who thinks this. I refuse to believe that anyone else would make such an asinine and misplaced claim.

[@kawaiimeatpie9795]

5:08 Clarke's vocals start

[@ManWalkingStraight]

i like both vocals and instumentation... i guess it's just personal taste whether you like them or not

[@jameelahamed6615]

The song seems pretty deep to me. Destined as the servant ... zealous will: The guy is in love with a girl. But not just any girl. That popular girl who's like the moon in the wide sky. And she doesn't know he exists. She's dreaming of the other cool guys who our main guy here thinks of as dirt. The guy asked her out, and now she dreams of the guy she likes and the main guy's zeal to actually ask her. Is only congruent ... of the world.: Congruent means 'equals to' or 'is the same thing'. So his asking her out is basically equal to her saying no and him crying over it (salt in his mouth = tears) and his approaching suicide note. Suicide because eulogy means praising and I think this sarcastically means his note "praising" the world. Lost in the patterns ... makes no difference: Time has passed by a lot now. She's thinking about her past (patterns of youth) and the death of someone because of her (ghost of her aches is the dead main guy). The world keeps changing, but the fact that he died doesn't change. Memories fly through ... disregard for steps: She keeps thinking about this and goes into depression. The passing years made her gain a shell which keeps her from being happy. Soon she stops caring about anything. Except the one ... buried your hope.: Now she realizes she should forget the past. She was walking a tight rope destined to fall because of a crazy death that buried her hope. Focusing on light through the blinds: She starts looking at life happily again, ignoring the bleakness behind her shell and focusing on the light through the blinds instead. A slave to reality ... in the sky: Because in the end, she's just a slave a reality and under the control of god, so what's the point of staying the past? This is what I think the song means. Honestly though, I don't know if the last paragraph is right. I'm open to suggestions though.

[@tstochuj]

ur gay

[@InfinityPotato97]

For me the lyrics is about the childhood nostalgia

[@Pancakespls]

Wheeeeee

[@AlvaroClouds311]

Epic! some kind of desolation here, es necesario despojarse de ciertos conceptos para apreciar este solido track.
