✪RION Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Wasn't lucky enough to be 1 of the 200 people who gets the free download for Rosetta but I'll track down that JABRONI this fall. Album cover still bugs me though. And I don't give a damn, Sunbather was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susie Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 It took a few listens, but once the album clicked...so good. That's probably my favorite song. Alright then, and while we're on the tpic of Post-Metal bands, you dig Jesu? Album cover still bugs me though. The album cover wasn't bad, but it was different than their usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
✪RION Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 The album cover wasn't bad, but it was different than their usualIt looks more like an album cover for a sleazy metal band signed with roadrunner but who gives a sheet when the album is this good.

~NOiSE~ Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Alright then, and while we're on the tpic of Post-Metal bands, you dig Jesu? I haven't really liked most of what I've heard, to be honest. The stuff on their split with Envy was ok but I didn't really like anything else. Maybe I'll try again. The album cover wasn't bad, but it was different than their usual I actually like it. When I listen to the music and look at the art, it just feels...I dunno, it feels right. It has a certain level of mystique to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I wasn't too big on them, but then I liked them more after each listen, I haven't listened to their split album before, though I do have their Silver-EP.

✪RION Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 The only albums I heard from Jesu are the s/t and Infinity. Prefer the s/t more but I like his work with Godflesh. It's more accessible and unlike Jesu's work, the didn't get boring half way through the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dismal Euphony Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have been really digging Deafheaven recently. I can't describe how this band makes me feel when I listen to them. That's my favorite song from them. Funny, since I'm listening to Deafheaven right now, it took a while, but I've grown to like them I just found myself not really being able to get into Sunbather as a whole. It's not necessarily a bad album, but I was hoping for them to incorporate more black metal elements and they kinda went the other direction... Overall, I like Deafheaven, but I'm just a bit underwhelmed by them while many of my friends are constantly raving about their greatness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~NOiSE~ Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 That's my favorite song from them. It's up there for me, but Sunbather's title track is a strong contender. I just found myself not really being able to get into Sunbather as a whole. It's not necessarily a bad album, but I was hoping for them to incorporate more black metal elements and they kinda went the other direction... Overall, I like Deafheaven, but I'm just a bit underwhelmed by them while many of my friends are constantly raving about their greatness. Understandable, I can see why Sunbather isn't your thing. They really brought the post-rock and screamo elements to the forefront of their sound, but I typically like those genres more than black metal, so I think it's great. I also think "Deafheaven" is an incredibly cool name. I have a love-hate relationship with black metal as a whole, I really love the intensity of the genre but some of the more cliche elements (incredibly poor production, cheesy fantasy/occultist imagery) are really a turn-off for me. There are a few groups that I need to look into that avoid those things, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Are there any groups similar to Deafheaven that you could recommend? I've heard Wolves In the Throne Room is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for bands that are closer to Deafheaven's sound, the best I can give is Fen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable that some fans would be disappointed with it since doing what they did on the album are alienating some of the old fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Wolves In the Throne Room is really good. I would suggest:Alcest (post-black metal/shoegaze)Lantlos (post-black metal)Panopticon (atmospheric black metal with a ton of outside influences)Amesoeurs (post-black metal)Cold Body Radiation (post-black metal/shoegaze)Fen (post-black metal)Altar of Plagues (black metal with some post-rock influence)Wolves in the Throne Room (atmospheric black metal)Falls of Rauros (atmospheric black metal/folk)Skagos (atmospheric black metal)An Autumn For Crippled Children (post-black metal)Downfall of Gaia (post-black metal/atmospheric sludge)Silence of the Old Man (post-black metal/shoegaze)Sun Worship (atmospheric black metal with some post-rock influences)Bosse-de-Nage (post-black metal. they've also done a split with Deafheaven)Hope Drone (atmospheric post-black metal)Encircling Sea (atmospheric black metal)Alda (atmospheric black metal)Dodecahedron (avante-garde black metal)Liam (instrumental post-rock/shoegaze/black metal)Infinitas (black metal/DSBM/shoegaze)Harakiri for the Sky (post-black metal)Kvelertak (black 'n' roll)Miserere Luminis (black metal with some post-rock influence)Sul ad Astral (post-black metal)Vestiges (post/black metal/hardcore)Woman is the Earth (atmospheric black metal)Nontinuum (atmospheric post-black metal with some other influences)Wildernessking (atmospheric/progressive black metal) I feel like you might be able to find something you like there. Obviously not ALL of them will sound similar to Deafheaven, but some of them share similar influences and I tried to include some other stuff that was different, but still interesting and could appeal to someone that's not really into the straight up black metal sound.

I always forget that asking you for recommendations yields a lot more bands than I expect haha. I'm alredy a fan of Kvelertak, and I've been meaning to check out Bosse-de-Nage since they did a split with Deafheaven. I'll check some more of these out as well.

They're one of the important bands to the history of Sludge, tons of bands have noted them as an influence, if you wanna start getting into Melvins, I recommend Houdini as a start. Also I realy dig that trck you posted, gonna look more into those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
