"During Amplifest 2019, we sat down with George Clarke and Shiv Mehra to talk about the last 10 years of Deafheaven: the progression between "Roads to Judah", "Sunbather", "New Bermuda" and "Ordinary Corrupt Human Love", Grammy Awards, underground music and the new album the band is working on."
Deafheaven will be playing Evil Beat Vol. 2 on January 11th, 2020 in Dallas along with Carcass, Power Trip, Razor, Vio-Lence, Sheer Mag, Drab Majesty, and many more.
Tickets available HERE.
It is an honor for us to announce that we are publishing the first two books written and photographed by George L. Clarke of Deafheaven.
“Westlake and Evergreen are stories dealing with identity, aloneness, fear and the idea of willful anonymity in which characters are purposefully a mystery to themselves and others. Inspired by The Sweet Flypaper of Life by Langston Hughes and Ray DeCarava, I aim to guide and contextualize these stories with photography. I have also added in bits of prose, dh related lyrics, etc.
Each is 80 pages. I made a few and they’ll be signed and mailed out when I’m back from tour mid October.
Thank you to Chelsea, Nick, and Cathy for their help with this. “ - George L. Clarke

When Slipknot dropped their self-titled debut album in 1999, it sent shock waves through the rock and metal world. It was so ferocious and yet so catchy, so maniacal and yet so meticulous — from the industrial menace of "742617000027" all the way through to the raw, spasmodic grind of "hidden" track "Eeyore." Then there was the band themselves: the masks, the jumpsuits, the "fuck you all" attitude of their interviews, the "fuck you all even harder" attitude of their live shows. Below, on the eve of the album's 20th anniversary, Deafheaven frontman George Clarke looks back on the first time Slipknot blew his mind and the impact the album has had on him ever since.
Experimental heavy band Deafheaven, fresh off of a co-headlining tour with Baroness, has proven an act of its ilk can make its way on the road and do things its own way while continuing to grow, from a recent Grammy nomination to increasing ticket sales across the board.
“I think the greatest thing about moving up in size and rooms is the freedom to be more creative,” says Deafheaven frontman George Clarke, mentioning the band’s added production effects on its latest tours. “It’s always a dream of mine to make our show bigger and more entertaining.”
