Deafheaven took a hard turn away from harsh vocals and black metal-style riffs on the first single off their new album Infinite Granite, and it looks like that sound is here to stay. The band is now streaming the catchy, driving new single "The Gnashing", which may very well get stuck in your head. Plus it certainly helps that the guitar melodies on this track are fantastic.
Deafheaven will release Infinite Granite on August 20. The album was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83, Paramore), mixed by Darrell Thorp (Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Beck), and given artwork by Nick Steinhardt (Katy Perry, Jimmy Eat World, The Dixie Chicks). Pre-orders are available here.
