Deafheaven

Combining elements of black metal and shoegaze, Deafheaven's palette of screamed vocals, blast beats and dreamy guitar soundscapes have established the group as hipster-approved "heavy" music. On New Bermuda, the San Francisco band continues to contrast triumphant, blissed-out melodies with distorted, power chord refrains. Japanese hardcore band Envy and Swedish death metal act Tribulation support.
