Deafheaven - Infinite Granite (August 20, 2021) Album • Page 5

Awesome song

 

Well now I'm sad that there will be less growls in this

 

Awesome song, can't wait for this record.

 

Interesting they’re on Sargent house instead of anti- now, I know SH has always been their management but still that’s interesting. Also absolutely wild the guy who produced the last two Jimmy eat world records has produced a deafheaven album, my worlds are colliding

 

Jimmy Eat Heaven

 

He doesn't growl so much as shriek, and IMO his vocals have always been the weakest part of the band (though they did get much better over the last 2 records).

 

I love that the album cover is an Ultrasound, lol

 

It's like the inverse of Ballou producing Joyce Manor.

Anyway, JM-J can do no wrong and this sounds fucking great.

 

Guess it's just personal preference. I'll always prefer heavier vocals over normal ones.

 

I love heavy vocals too, even other black metal bands, I just think he's not very good at it haha.

 

he played and collab’d a lot with NIN

 

black brick and from the kettle onto the coil rip. i’d imagine even with the albums getting progressively more lush, they’re still gonna dip back into hell with the one off singles

 

Was not ready for this change but song was really good.

I did like the heavy stuff but will still order and listen. Nice direction chnage!

 

Instant preorder. So excited for the direction of the record.

 

I agree. I have never enjoyed his vocal delivery when he gets “heavy” but the band has always been on point.

 

I see why their LA show later this year is in a seated theater lol

 

Mosh in the aisles

 

Not sure how I feel about this. It's fine? I would've preferred they kept pushing into the heavy but beautiful, atmospheric black metal sound they've been evolving. This sounds like a lot of other shoegazy/new wave inspired bands to me.

I'll definitely listen to the album, but I didn't have an immediate desire to relisten to this track.

 

absolutely thrilled at the sound and songwriting here

 

reminds me of when Alcest put out shelter, an incredible album

 

I listened again and damn this is so sick

 

shelter honestly one of the best 50 albums ever

 

This has been on repeat all morning.

 

The more I listen to it I don't think it's that far from their other stuff musically and sonically. The vocals are definitely the biggest change and it's a little bit less intense, especially with the drumming. I think its a pretty logical step forward for them.

 

As someone who loves metal and harsh vox of most flavors, I think this track kinda makes clear that I prefer this dude's clean vocals to his screams. (They're not bad, just not super dynamic/distinctive.)
