Deafheaven

2023 LTD 45 RPM, Album, Reissue, Remastered, Bone / Gold and Pink/Red Swirl.
This is the record that confused everyone and then won anyway. Black metal screaming blast beats and suddenly it’s pink and beautiful and making you feel things you did not budget for. It’s furious and euphoric at the same time like standing in the sun while your brain is on fire. Long songs huge payoffs and moments that feel genuinely uplifting before immediately wrecking you again. You put it on expecting misery and end up weirdly hopeful and slightly emotional behind the counter. Dangerous behaviour for a metal record. Still unreal. Class. FFO Black metal with feelings, shoegaze turned violent, heavy music that reaches for the light, records that change minds whether people admit it or not
