Deafheaven
“Deafheaven’s music at its best represents a brilliant collision of beauty and despair.” – Pitchfork (9.0 BNM)
"One of the best albums of the year, period." - Stereogum
"Deafheaven's new opus is a tsunami of noise, swelling and crashing like waves sent from Poseidon amid a vast ocean" - Metal Hammer (9/10)
“A perfect marriage of Phil Spector’s lush ‘Wall of Sound’ technique with black metal’s echo chamber ‘Wall of Sound.’” - Decibel (Nov Issue)
Ultimately, New Bermuda proves just how progressive of a genre metal can be, purists be damned. - A.V. Club (A-)

Press Release: July 28, 2015
Deafheaven will release their next album, entitled New Bermuda worldwide on October 2, 2015 via ANTI- Records.
George Clarke (vocals), Kerry McCoy (guitar), Dan Tracy (drums), Stephen Lee Clark (bass), and Shiv Mehra (guitar) recorded New Bermuda live to tape at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, CA and Atomic Garden Recording in East Palo Alto, CA in April 2015. It was produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Jack Shirley who has worked with the band on their previous releases. Clarke says that he came up with the idea of “New Bermuda” to describe a new destination in life, a nebulous point of arrival, and an unknown future where things get swallowed up and dragged into darkness. The album artwork for New Bermuda is an oil painting, dense in brush strokes of darker tones and deep blues, by Allison Schulnik. The layout was art directed by Nick Steinhardt who also designed the packaging for their last release, Sunbather.
Formed in 2010 in San Francisco, California, the band has released two studio albums on Deathwish; Roads to Judah in 2011 and their lauded Sunbather in 2013. Sunbather received accolades from NPR on their Favorite Albums of 2013 list, a coveted Best New Music at Pitchfork, the Best Metal Album of 2013 per Rolling Stone, a 9/10 star review from Decibel Magazine, and it was the highest rated album of 2013 according to Metacritic. Deafheaven have spent the last two years touring extensively nationally and around the world with shows in Australia, Japan, Asia, Europe, Russia, the UK, and Canada with festival appearances at Pitchfork, Bonnaroo, Primavera, Roskilde, Fun Fun Fun, FYF Fest, SXSW, Corona Capital, ATP Iceland, amongst others.
Details on a forthcoming North American tour are soon to be announced.
