elnombre91 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Also tried to the tour press and didn't get one at the Boston show, no worries though, Deafheaven sounded unreal and I really dig the Baby Pink/Piss Yellow variant, will just have to keep trying for one of those splatter variants.... BTBAM was also pretty tight even with all the awful Parallax songs. I just wish this band would do an Alaska or Silent Circus tour like nothing else at this point. Dude, parallax is ace.

jaedong Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Dude, parallax is ace. its certainly a solid record, has some crazy playing, and the sci-fi influence is cool, but for me the height of the band will always be Alaska. Its their most interesting and challenging IMO, has some of the weirdest and coolest guitar playing i've heard in heavy metal, and never becomes gimmicky. as much as i love Colors, aspects of that record felt gimmicky, but it still had the amazing sense of aesthetics of Alaska and the earlier material. The great misdirect and parallax are solid records in their own right but,d at least for me, they both get shit on so hard by tracks like Roboturner or Camilla Rhodes that it all feels a little lackluster. it probably doesn't help that i've only seen the band Post-TGM, and obviously they play whatever their most current material is, but i would go insane for a show where they didn't pull out anything post Alaska. i'll listen to Parallax some more though, hopefully it will continue to grow on me, the songs all sounded sweet live.

I unfortunately don't own a scanner large enough to scan Now magazines ,12" by 10", but I do have a camera that isn't my cellphone so here are my photos. It's a rather dumpy article focusing around the whole language games of genre, more so than Deafheaven itself. I think it speaks mountains considering they're opening for Between the Buried and Me tonight and they're on the front cover of Now Magazine. I'd feel like crap if I were BTBAM. I found the article online here: http://nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=196863 But if you prefer to look at my shitty photos, I'll leave them posted.

Derek™ Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 I like how they accidentally swapped the album art for Liturgy and Panopticon, at the end there. Would be a forgivable goof if the Liturgy album didn't have the artist and title printed obnoxiously across the top and bottom. bossdj26 and jonnywreck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Justin Maheiny Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 If Deafheaven is going to be described as a black metal band, and I'm not saying that is or isn't a correct definition of their music, but if they are, I don't think calling them a "pop" version of black metal is really that unfair. Considering that some of the early members of the genre defining bands routinely burned churches, were nazis, embraced war and satanism, ate pieces of their bandmate's brains after he blew himself away with a shotgun, murdered a rival band member & bragged about/served time for killing a homosexual, I'd say Deafheaven is pretty "pop" in comparison. p.s. Real black metal bands don't play Candy Crush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedong Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Deafheaven and especially their old material are definitely hybrid BM, but I do think Sunbather sounds a lot like Cease Upon the Capitol actually, just with better and longer songs.

Then other people put genres on them and argue. daegor, throwgncpr, FuzzRecords and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real black metal bands don't play Candy Crush. I'm not trying to be a dick, just pointing out something I think should be noted. Are we talking about what these guys do in the studio/onstage or about how they live their personal lives? When I like a band, I don't usually give a fuck about what the dummies do in their spare time. If I liked bands based on their lifestyles, then I would strictly listen to Reggae, not church-burning, member-eating, murderous Nazis.Edit: it should be noted that I do NOT condone listening to Reggae.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've been using a pretty simple genre system for a while now, you guys are welcome to adopt it. I categorize everything as "pretty good", "not too heavy" or "my wife likes it". Simplifies things. daegor, jonnywreck, ronthedial and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
