Biography

San Francisco, United States (2010 – present)

Based out of San Francisco, CA, Deafheaven started as an isolated project between frontman George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy. After sending the demo to various blogs and receiving overwhelmingly positive reception, they accepted offers to play live shows and added members to form the quintet that today tours as Deafheaven. On July 29th, 2010, Deafheaven played their first show, marking the unofficial genesis of their rise to bay area prominence. Within months of forming, they began receiving interest from numerous record labels and officially signed on with Deathwish Records in December of 2010.

Since signing to Deathwish, Deafheaven has released a limited edition 7” demo, debuted their first full album, Roads to Judah, toured the West Coast; and are currently preparing for a tour of the South West.

Their music is described as “A dizzying hybrid of shimmer, passion, vulnerability, and intensity.” They have cited a wide range of musical influences, including, but not limited to, Morbid Angel, The Smiths, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Orchid and My Bloody Valentine.

    "Because Teethed Glory is true black metal from the desolate moors of Ireland. Sunbather has a pink cover and songs about pecans." If you think Teethed Glory is true, you need to check your ears. It has more nontraditional influences than a Van Gogh painting.

    I think Teethed Glory and Injury, albeit a good album, is overrated and nowhere as good as White Tomb or Mammal. I like Sunbather more than Teethed Glory and Injury.

    The only thing that Sunbather and Teethed Glory And Injury have in common is its greatness. They're both two of the best releases of 2013.

    It's metal for people who don't like metal? Maybe. But that doesn't mean that people who like metal can't like it. And how is it what's wrong with black metal if it isn't even black metal? Btw the new AoP is just as false as Sunbather.

    Teethed Glory and Injury and Sunbather are both fantastic. Why can I only listen to one? Are you retarded?

    Does it really matter what genre it is? If you like it, listen to it. And if you don't like it, avoid it.

    "on a lighter note, Altar of Plagues new album 'Teethed Glory, and Injury' kills this album. you should all do yourselves a favor and listen to that instead." I love that album as well, but it's completely and utterly different from this in every way so I'm not sure why you're comparing them.

    what a waste of time. i had a lot of hope for this album. roads to judah was great, but sunbather is garbage. I was genuinely a fan until this album. The album is monotonous and every other riff sounds like diet Mogwai. This isn't metal, which means it definitely isn't black metal. I know that is a stereotypical criticism for this band, but i don't care. How people are eating this album up is beyond me. It's metal for people who don't actually like metal. I got to the track 'vertigo' and thought..."aww...cute! a black metal riff!" Im sure i will give the album a couple of listens before i destroy my external hard drive for ever having this mediocre album on it, but so far i am incredibly disappointed. I saw them a year or so ago and thought they were exactly what black metal needed, now i just wish they would stop, because i feel that they are exactly what is wrong with black metal.
