San Francisco’s Deafheaven has been turning heads since the release of their Deathwish debut, Roads to Judah, this past April. The album has seen rave reviews from print and online publications (“a welcome evolution of metal that crushes and inspires in equal measures” – Philadelphia Weekly, “unites shoegazers and metalheads on dark, sorrowful and chaotic ground” – Youindie.com) and the band has been seen in magazines like Decibel, Metal Hammer, Hails & Horns and many more. Most recently, Deafheaven toured across the US with KEN Mode in support of the release and played a highly coveted set at this summer’s Sound & Fury festival in California. This September, Deafheaven will tour the West Coast with their friends in Lake of Blood and DNF, and will continue to play songs off of their genre-bending full-length Roads to Judah.
„San Francisco’s Deafheaven pushes the bounds of psychedelic black metal with fury and finesse” – Las Vegas Review Journal
„Gorgeously airy at times, engulfed in fury at others, these four tracks not only make this record a musthave, but signals the arrival of a band that might be the future of this genre.” – The Daily News
…gorgeous and fragile melodies that step on a landmine of riffs, blast beats and tortured screams, then slip into a mournful requiem replete with doomy church bells and shoegazer atmosphere.” – Philadelphia weekly
„Deafheaven have created a beautiful and intense listening experience on this album.” – CVLT Nation
