Deafheaven (美國) , 直到看見鯨魚的眼睛

五月粉紅重擊：Deafheaven

團名靈感來自莎士比亞十四行詩、美國舊金山黑金樂隊 Deafheaven，以主唱 George Clarke 和吉他手 Kerry McCoy 為創作核心，曲風融合 Black Metal、Shoegazing、Post Rock，而有別於其他金屬樂團的白淨斯文外貌，甚至被樂迷稱作「美男子金屬樂隊」，Deafheaven 對這樣的稱號並不以為意，並大聲宣告著：「我們的現場除了跟”美男子”完全沾不上邊之外，還非常兇暴粗魯！」

Deafheaven 首張專輯《Roads to Judah》於廠牌 Deathwish Inc. 發行，中間曾推出重新詮釋 Mogwai〈Punk Rock〉與〈Cody〉兩首歌的限量單曲；2013年以令人過目難忘的粉紅色封面專輯《Sunbather》攻陷全球音樂媒體，得到平均93分的超高評價！高居所有類型專輯之首。和《Roads to Judah》相較，《Sunbather》的節奏更為躁動激烈、氛圍更為陰暗深沉，另一方面卻變得更明亮溫暖，而這種高反差、動靜結合的新創作方向，使得《Sunbather》成為2013年最令人瞠目結舌的高分專輯。

我們很榮幸在 Deafheaven 大放異彩的時刻邀請到他們來台演出，這個陸續征戰 Pitchfork、Primavera Sound、OFF Festival、Øya Festival 等大型音樂祭的舊金山五人樂隊，即將在5月2日獻出他們首度來台；準備好來這裡釋放你深埋在體內的種種正負面情感，五月見！

Deafheaven is an American black metal band that formed in 2010. The San Francisco-based group began as a two-piece with George Clarke and Kerry McCoy who recorded and self-released a demo album together. After a warm reception, Deafheaven recruited three new members and began to tour. Before the close of 2010, the band signed to Deathwish Inc. and later released their debut album Roads to Judah in April 2011. A follow-up album, Sunbather, was released in 2013 which ended being one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year in the United States.
Deafheaven's musical style has been described as primarily black metal infused among post-metal and shoegazing influences.
