Knowledge

He may be dancing to the rhythm of the best DSBM music while no one knows

I don't understand how a band with a song as full-on intense as "Come Back" somehow have ended up being a popular 'metal music for non-metal people' band, but hey, whatever floats people's boats.

I can hardly remember Roads to Judah, but I remember not liking it at all when it came out, and I don't think I was particularly impressed by Sunbather despite the furore, but I tried this out just to give them one more chance and I actually like it quite a lot. Can't remember Sunbather well enough to know what's different here, but compared to other bands such as Bosse-De-Nage, the soft parts feel like they have a lot more direction and purpose here than in some other similar bands, and between the typical tremolo-and-blastbeats parts and the mid-tempo 'Ecailles de Lune'-style bits, there's some really nice BM riffs in here.

Yo update: this is still great

It's a good album. Could be better I think though.. but still worth it :-)

According to the average rating, this is Deafheaven's most popular album on MS.
But no review, yet? How comes?
Anyway, it's - together with Dekadent's The Deliverance Of The Fall and Venera: Trial & Tribulation - the most uplifting and happy piece of music labeled 'black metal' in my collection.
Did I just use the terms 'happy' and 'black metal' in the same context?
Damn it, but at least I didn't say 'hipster black metal'.
Oops, now I did.

Fav: 'Brought To The Water', fell in love with it right after exactly 40 seconds.

This album is fantastic. Bummer the metal community is so weird about these guys. It's fun when bands come around and do something different.

My personal Top 3 songs from the album:

Brought To The Water
Luna
Baby Blue
