Deafheaven Vinyl Records
Originally formed as a duo in 2010, Deafheaven, now a quintet, are a restless and experimental metal band from San Francisco. Often referred to as black metal, the group finds the term limiting, and sees the metal subgenre as a prime inspiration. Their ever-evolving sound includes elements of black metal, shoegaze, post-rock, and even accessible -- but musically challenging -- arena rock, as evidenced by albums such as 2013's Sunbather and the punchier, more dynamic New Bermuda two years later.
