History:
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. In July 2015, Deafheaven began teasing their third studio album for a possible October 2015 release through Epitaph Records' sister label ANTI- with a short video featuring new music clips, studio footage and views of a rocky coastline.
