Over the last decade, the band has churned out five albums of bewilderingly cathartic music, a crushingly heavy amalgam of beauty and ferocity that largely defies categorization. Within months of playing their first show, Deafheaven had landed a record deal with legendary indie Deathwish, Inc., who quickly released their debut studio album to critical acclaim from Pitchfork, Decibel, and NPR. But the group’s potent blend of crushingly heavy riffs and ethereal melodies (dubbed “blackgaze” for its melding of black metal and shoegaze sounds) was still largely unknown in America, and the subsequent response was both immediate and profound. Deafheaven first broke on the San Francisco scene in 2010 with little more than an untitled demo tape recorded on borrowed equipment and an acoustic guitar.
