Deafheaven : "New Bermuda"
 

Deafheaven Stream New Bermuda | News | Pitchfork

I'm basking in the joy of a new Deafheaven record.

I've heard this album is more dense and crushing in sound, so I might check it out eventually, but I thought Sunbather was just average. Low hopes but open to a surprise.

38/10

Listening tonight. Will have opinion tomorrow.

I'll go to Sunbather for shoegaze metal Deafheaven, and New Bermuda for METAL Deafheaven, with loads of beautiful stuff happening in a handful of places

Just finished my first listen and it's pretty damn good. More than a few standout moments and a great middle section. Looking forward to listening to it again to get a better grasp. I haven't listened to Sunbather in what seems like years, but this will probably wind up being my new favorite from them. I'd give it a 4.5 at the moment.

I scared one of my roommates while listening to this new album.

So a 10/10 from me.

Had seriously brutal and punishing moments but ruined the vibe with the various fade outs and tone changes throughout the record. I appreciate the sound they're trying to establish here but I just felt that if you're going to make an album that much more dark and metal, you shouldn't interrupt such an awesome change with these average post rocky instrumentals at the end of songs. It's certainly not bad by any means, but I like Sunbather a hell of a lot more. I guess I just wanted this to go in another direction than it did. I still enjoyed it though.

7/10

holy shit this is amazing

It's an easy 9/10 from me and my favourite album of the year so far. I still think I like Sunbather more, but in a lot of ways there's more going on with New Bermuda, despite the fact that it's not as 'big'. Each time I listen, I feel like there's more to uncover. Also, I think the lyrics are stronger on this one.

Really glad Deafheaven didn't rest on their laurels and explored some new territory. In particular, I adore the almost Slayer-ness of "Brought To The Water" and the sorta-post-hardcore closer "Gifts For The Earth" with its Oasis-sounding bridge. The whole album feels like Deafheaven are having fun being a proper metal band.

Why'd they ban this guy?

That's what you get when you make a bunch of asshole noobs mods.

Huh?

Someone was banned and his comment deleted and you saw what I posted. That was almost 8 months ago.
