The Deafheaven Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.
Having produced one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year in Sunbather, Deafheaven’s relentless touring sees the band traveling to Australia for the first time ever to play shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth in January 2014.
As divisive as it is lauded, Deafheaven’s Sunbather is a tour de force of aggression and emotion that takes cues from post-rock atmospheres, shoegaze textures, and black metal’s unbridled ferocity. Founding members George Clarke (vocals) and Kerry McCoy (guitar) explore the sublime territory first charted by My Bloody Valentine and their contemporaries, before exploding with demonic screams, furious blast beats and punishing guitar riffs.
Deafheaven’s live show is as renowned as their record, with the group turning their 11-minute songs into short, visceral exorcisms. Clarke wields the microphone like a madman wields a shotgun, commanding the room with a deathly stare and a fearsome presence. And Deafheaven are loud: cacophonous, impenetrable-wall-of-noise loud; the kind of noise you won’t soon forget.
The band will be bringing their widescreen brand of crushing drama to audiences across Australia for their first ever tour, presented by Life Is Noise. Don’t miss out.
