About

Deafheaven are an American blackgaze band from San Francisco, formed in 2010 by vocalist George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy. They fuse black metal ferocity with shoegaze melody and post-rock dynamics, drawing fans from both the metal underground and the wider indie world. Their 2013 album "Sunbather" broke them internationally and appears on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time. Six studio albums and relentless touring have cemented their reputation as one of the most distinctive heavy bands of their generation.
