I have been a serious amateur Black Metalist for over almost 25 years and Sunbather is one of the best compositions I have ever heard, damn in any genre for that, and props to the hipsters for doing this, whoever that is.
Black metal and shoegaze are two of my favorite genres of music. I'm glad that there's a good amount of new underground bands that mix the two together. They have good chemistry
@@wjspencer95 9 months late, but some other bands you might like are alcest (the OG band of the genre), oathbreaker (their more recent stuff. they used to be metalcore), an autumn for crippled children, and sadness.
i'm not a deafheaven fan but i'm sooo glad this is pissing off black metal fans, it's endlessly amusing seeing grown men get mad about a band not being br00tal or trve enough.
yeah but seeing a wannabe ian curtis having epileptic attacks before singing like someone it's cutting his balls off it's not that great deal either (talking about music and stage acting solely.)
held my breath and drove through a maze of wealthy homes. I watched how green the trees were. I watched the steep walkways and the white fences. I gripped the wheel. I sweated against the leather. I watched the dogs twist through the wealthy garden. I watched you lay on a towel in grass that exceeded the height of your legs. I gazed into reflective eyes. I cried against an ocean of light. Crippled by the cushion, I sank into sheets frozen by rose pedal toes. My back shivered for your pressed granite nails. Dishonest and ugly through the space in my teeth. Break bones down to yellow and crush gums into blood. The hardest part for the weak was stroking your fingers with rings full of teeth.. It's 5 A.M...and my heart flourishes at each passing moment. Always and forever.
The sound of the mix of the blackmetal(which is cold),and the shoegaze(which is melancholic),it makes me feel a melancolic cold that bring me back to my childhod.
I don´t know why everybody claims this guys are hipsters,I look at them and their aesthetic its more like if they were a post-punk band. Stop worrying about trifles,enjoy the music...
People get so butthurt when a genre they like starts to get a lil bit mainstream. Some say this isn't black metal. It's definitely not pop either. People so narrow minded & elitist now a days just shut up and enjoy something new & fresh for once.
I’m so obsessed with this song so much and I Dont know too much about Deafheaven but am slowly becoming a fan even tho his vocal style isn’t my favorite but the music is so good
It's hilarious that so many people think this band is terrible. Sunbather is a tremendous album, forget genre, ignore looks, just listen to the MUSIC! If you don't like it because it's not black metal, fine, go listen to some black metal. just remember a black metal band without corpse paint are just posers. And if they record with anything other than a 4 track cassette recorder they are sell outs. #realblackmetal
***** I never claimed Sunbather was a death metal or a shoegazer album (whatever the fuck shoegazer is). I just made the point that people that get stuck worshiping a genre and disliking anything that doesn't fit in their own idea of what the genre is, or who the artists look or act, miss out on some great music out of pure spite. And I say fuck them, let them be stubborn and small minded, let them hate a band without hearing because some website or magazine hates them.
Black Metal and Modern Metal in general has felt stale and cheesy to me for a long time. This band I don't care how you categorize them feels fresh. Another thing that has kept me away from the Metal genre are the fans. They come off as elitists that can't stand change. Anything that is remotely different from what they've heard for years is immediately blown off and labeled hipster.
Right? A good buddy of mine is so closed minded when I showed the bands I listen to he said "Man! listen to real metal like metallica!" Oh wow... And he's such a gifted guitarist, shame on these closed minded pricks.
It's only the hardcore metal dudes that hate bands like this. I've tried countless times to listen to traditional Black Metal and just can't take it seriously. They're trying way too hard to be evil. All the costumes and lyrics about Satan and castles. It's ridiculous.
Kevin K Darkthrone seem to take themselves less seriously, and I've been able to get into their stuff, but I know what you mean. There's a certain cheesiness to early bm.
i can't believe in my eyes and ears (by the way it doesn't matter if this is black metal or not... to me it's better than so many others) awesome lyrics too
Gotta admit this would be a more difficult than average band to mix. Especially if the previous band was The Arctic Monkeys or some other Pitchfork standard. haha
This shit is so good, I don't get all the hate this band gets. I'm pretty sure that if they wore corpsepaint or something every one would praise this band.
@@eliceusCool man didnt know you replied, thanks for letting me know, i best look for these lyrics, sounds like a morgue but theres got to be a basis, thanks again.
post rock influenced black metal has been around since the fucking 90s, you not knowing these bands doesnt make deafheaven the revelation of the bm genre, get over it. if youre seriously interested in the genre go read the slayer mag diaries. btw euronymous would probably be a hipster today.
the ''hipster'' looks of the band its what causes all the problems among metalheads, because of course in order to appeal in that scene you need to have at least a spike in your outfit and/or your face painted in blood/black and white paint
Ok. First time hearing this band. Spacey interlude deftones style no double kick drum weirdness. Its not Black Metal but by using the vocal element it makes makes their sonic texture very unique. A possible closer inspection but tbh I have other metal to bang too.
I'm not even sure if I would consider Deafheaven a metal band. Sure there are metal elements [obviously including the vocals] but everything else is post-rock. That's not a bad thing though.
deafheaven is great but this is the first ive seen a live video. glad i saw this though now i know not to bother seeing them live. its not their performance, its the crowd that would unfortunately kill it for me
This sounded so much better live and whoever was in charge of mixing this totally fucked up. It sounds nothing like it did live or in the album. The vocals have absolutely nothing to give them atmosphere. The guitars are hardly present at all. The bass takes up way too much space in the mix. The drums have no clarity. I'm glad I still have my memory of this performance because the sound in this video fucking ruined it for me.
at first i thought it was a Thursday wannabe band till he started screeching. this would of been shit when this music was in and its even more shit now...
I love the way he express himself on stage. Realy charismatic...

This album plus Vektor's "Terminal Redux" helped me through a depression caused by my divorce. Cheers! 🙂

Right? They're SO ignorant and stubborn. They choose to live in the past, the "good old blackened days". It's music you small minded humans! Feel it!
Anything that pisses off metal heads is welcome in my book. I can't stand those whiny idiots
And honestly Deafheaven's music is brutal as hell.
yeah but seeing a wannabe ian curtis having epileptic attacks before singing like someone it's cutting his balls off it's not that great deal either (talking about music and stage acting solely.)
Metal fans are annoying, I agree.

dude this is so accurate
Genre pushing legends. The sheer emotion in georges voice is insane
HOLY CRAP!!! They are like melodic black! I love them!! Def a band to listen all the time
Richard Spencer is really nailing the vocals
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And you are so offended
He's like a handsome Richard Spencer

I don’t care what this genre is. I think the people making the comparison to black metal are trying to compare apples to oranges.

Darkthrone seem to take themselves less seriously, and I've been able to get into their stuff, but I know what you mean. There's a certain cheesiness to early bm.
This is basically post rock with black metal vocals. I can dig it.
Black gaze but I definitely hear some Godspeed in them too.
i can't believe in my eyes and ears (by the way it doesn't matter if this is black metal or not... to me it's better than so many others) awesome lyrics too
Sound mixing is terrible, do all Pitchfork Fest performances sound like this?
well, its because of the different genres of the bands that play. I think the Pitchfork guys are too lazy to change the audio settings for deafheaven
Gotta admit this would be a more difficult than average band to mix. Especially if the previous band was The Arctic Monkeys or some other Pitchfork standard. haha
i think it might be very difficult to mix black metal (black-ish metal) for an outdoor venue
Check out Pitchfork's upload of the full show, it's so much better.
Pitchfork reviewed their own sound mixing at Pitchfork Fest and gave it a 5.4
this mix on this is still pretty bad but its at least marginally better than that godawful video of Dream House like what was up with that
I thought this was decent. But that Dream House video was definitely a shit sandwich.
This song make my wana die every time! Wish to be in their live once at least 😔
All over this! It reminds me of deftones and explosions in the sky, super cinematic but with more screaming
This shit is so good, I don't get all the hate this band gets. I'm pretty sure that if they wore corpsepaint or something every one would praise this band.
Exactly my man
That's amasing. I'm in love with deafheaven
emperor meets starbucks
george lesage with another inspired performance. he's possessed here. best in the world
is the audio too low or its just me??
Mixing is shit, you're not wrong.
Beautiful!
Awesome lyrics
Blackgaze ❤
I sure love these true-ass kvlt-heads. They're a lot of fun.
wow what kind of bass fuzz/disto is that?
amazing song

I kinda wish the guitarists would put a little more energy into their stage presence.
BraxtonThePorcupine they were probably pissed off that the sound guy straight fucked them. The guitars are almost completely out of the mix.
I think that the stark dichotomy between the singer's feverish movements and the guitarist's based presence is quite effective.
Wow did George sound way better at the Bottom Lounge two days before.
Someone isolated the vocals and re-uploaded this. This is a terrible mix. The original sounded like an actual wall of sound.
Is there a link anywhere?

Everyone shut up. Like what you like. The end. I like this.
why is everyone being crowdsurfed out of the crowd to security ?

Genre Brandao il joue de la basse maintenant ?
I think of this as stateside black metal
Profanatica & Havohej
vocals are too loud!
still good.
Arguing aesthetics: Hope you have eternal lung capacity
The word "hipster" has lost all meaning now.
I'm not even sure if I would consider Deafheaven a metal band. Sure there are metal elements [obviously including the vocals] but everything else is post-rock. That's not a bad thing though.
there are thousands of black metal and post rock subgenre this is Post-black metal
***** But I'm just saying if you had to cast it into a single genre.
Why so stagnant?

deafheaven is great but this is the first ive seen a live video. glad i saw this though now i know not to bother seeing them live. its not their performance, its the crowd that would unfortunately kill it for me
So you're gonna miss out on seeing a band you like because of the crowd?
let's hope it sounded better when you were actually there.
shoegaze. hipster. metal. tis awsome .nice lik it
They should all have corpse paint but with dayglo colors haha.
This sounded so much better live and whoever was in charge of mixing this totally fucked up. It sounds nothing like it did live or in the album.

I'm glad I still have my memory of this performance because the sound in this video fucking ruined it for me.
The music in this video is horrible, but the song is amazing.
they all have really nice shoes, which doesn't seem very metal to me
some metal musicians don't follow the subculture thing so they are own on their own
Flakes.

He moves to EMO.
Is this supposed to be ironic or something, i don't get it
vocals are surprisingly inconsistent live
it's not usually like this, look up another video
I feel like he's just trying out a new technique cause he usually is pretty awesome
at first i thought it was a Thursday wannabe band till he started screeching. this would of been shit when this music was in and its even more shit now...
is this blackcore? 😅the deathcore of black metal . lol
This sounds like emo gone...wild?...weird?..they're supposed to be black metal?
Blackgaze. Just shoegaze x black metal.
Awful, awful terrible racket
WTF IS THIS????????
it's beautiful music what else would it be
Who else sees the guitarist in the white t-shirt just ruining the look of this group...smh
Chip Walter they wouldn’t exist without him lol. He writes all the music.
