throwgncpr Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I like the new song. Dan's drumming is great, and I can't wait to hear this entire record. I don't get the sense that they are doing something to get a specific reaction from listeners. It sounds completely genuine, and I hope they keep making music that makes them excited.

KingTacoMunster Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Welp, glad I didn’t preorder. Not terrible but I need the other vocals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no.one Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 hmm, new track is okay... i think i prefer the previous single. I guess knowing where they came from is having me less impressed. The circumstances kinda reminds me of Ceremony, although they kinda leaned postpunk before they went fully clean. If Deafheaven had included a couple tracks with more clean-vocal singing in them on the last album, this one would make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I liked the instrumentation but the vocals just feel really weak on the second track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only metal set lists on some tours? Metal only encores? I’m not trying to be snarky I’m trying to imagine a show where they play stuff from their repertoire ( though I think they’ve stopped playing Roads to Judah, at least that was the case last two times I saw them live) My guess would be they will bring instruments and microphones, then play the songs dantheriver and daegor 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetsuodaironman Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Last two minutes of The Gnashing are fucking EPIC. Genius, genius, genius. Fuck all metalheads (ignorant meatheads). KingTacoMunster and twatay 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twatay Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Tetsuo clearly loves slobbing on DH’s knob. Makes me cringe a bit, but whatever. Anyway, the two new songs put me to sleep. And I’ve been a fan since before Sunbather. I don’t think they’re ever topping that record, they caught lightning in a bottle with that one. I’m still looking forward to hearing the new album though. Maybe it’s a grower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pretty natural evolution from there, minus the egregious vocal shift. Lots of old school fans hate OCHL but I think it's their best and I'm not sure how others can think differently. Of course Sunbather is legendary, but OCHL is just so put-together and well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelby Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 That's a "unique" take. I feel like you must be subconsciously relating OCHL to a bad spot in life or something daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRHews Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 As much as I am loving the two singles so far, I just hope this isn't another Opeth type route in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find it uninspired and the experimentation didn't work for me. It felt awkward and clumsy. I feel like Infinite Granite is what they wanted to do, but just didn't take it that far. I'm very much an 'to each their own' type of person, but every time someone says OCHL is their best it has me scratching my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 100% my ranking also I think new Bermuda is flawless. I have gone back to it so much. OCHL just doesn’t connect with me at all musically or emotionally. I am always shocked New Bermuda Constantly gets ranked low. daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
