Wowza. Where did these guys come from? A better question might be; where are they going? The answer, they're going to be huge and popular, and for now, they're popular with us kvlt lovers (more or less) but not for long as this is what's going to take the horrible phrase 'hipster black metal' straight to the door of all the kids who are quite happy to be spoon fed watered down rubbish by mainstream metal magazines and moozik video channelziz... But that does not detract from the fact that this is so good it hurts.
Epic epic chord progressions played blurringly over savage muscular blasting. Beautiful, sad melodies more akin to post-metal than black metal saw over the essentially black metal body of the song. Vocals that are screamed and grim and exist aurally somewhere between WitTR and the fathers of this brand of black metal; Weakling.
Slightly watered down? Well no doubt a big divider of the kvlt hordes... but who really gives a damn about that now? I've already given that too much attention. It's a damn fine album that makes their demo look weak, but only in comparison as before hearing the album the demo was a sturdy little release!
Very strong contender for a top ten list. If there's more to come from bands of a similar ilk, this is going to be a very good year.

Great American BlackMetal.
21 May 2011
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoy the way Deafheaven combines dreamy shoe gaze with blistering fast BlackMetal to create a very unique sound. The tracks manage to be inspiring and peaceful while at the same time conveying anger and misery in a way I've never heard before. If you're a fan of American BlackMetal, or of Alcest, Amesoeurs, Les Discrets, etc..., I highly recommend giving these guys a listen!

Stands up to the best euro post-black metal/shoegaze!

Format:Audio CD
I can't stop listening to this CD. As a fan of Alcest, Lantlos and other post-black metal bands, I'll say these guys are right on the forefront of that sound. Highly recommended!

Stunning
26 April 2011
Format:Audio CD
Roads to Judah by Deafheaven comprises four songs in about thirty-seven minutes. The music alternates between contemplative passages and muscular, piston-pounding rock with sheets of guitar and cascading drums. Anguished vocals somewhat buried in the mix punctuate each track. The musicianship is solid; particular praise should be given to the drumming, which is quite propulsive, and to the bass that serves as an anchor to the proceedings.
Each track is great. The stand-out track may be the final one, "Tunnel of Trees." It rocks mightily at the beginning, and its final half is a pure musical release of emotion and tension. It is a fitting end to this stirring collection. Check it out.
