Was watching Dunproofin’s Spin set (Fridays and Saturdays at 10pm UK time) and he raided moshtalks hosted by Beez which I’d not heard before who did a great video set of metal – some requests (Gojira! Motorhead!), some his choices (Slayer is always welcome, Sepultura, classic stuff and newer stuff I’d not heard of). I mentioned Deafheaven and he played the new one which I’d not heard yet. I was blown away….
Well, if you like shoegaze metal, and beautiful floating vocals – weird to describe any hard rock or metal as ‘pretty’ but this is it – Beez said ‘elegant’ which it totally is. I mean Mogwai is the obvious one, but also Durutti Column on the quiet bits – then it rocks LOUD.
Deafheaven have an album out in August, really looking forward to it now, I suspect it might be greater than Sunbather if this is anything to go by.
