About

Deafheaven is an American blackgaze band formed in 2010 in San Francisco. The group began as a two-piece with singer George Clarke and guitarist Kerry McCoy, who recorded and self-released a demo album. Following its release, Deafheaven recruited three new members and began to tour. Before the end of 2010, the band signed to Deathwish Inc. and released their debut album, Roads to Judah, in April 2011. They popularized a blend of black metal, shoegaze, and post-rock, among other influences, later called blackgaze by reviewers.

Deafheaven's second album, Sunbather, was released in 2013 to critical acclaim, becoming one of the best reviewed albums of the year in the US. In 2015, the band followed up with New Bermuda and in 2018 with Ordinary Corrupt Human Love. Their 2021 album, Infinite Granite, reduced the black metal elements in favor of a shoegaze sound, with mostly clean vocals from Clarke. In 2025, they released Lonely People with Power, a return to their blackgaze sound.
