11:09 - no one

I'll be listening to that tomorrow, sounds interesting.

10:24 - corrupt

Speaking of Deafheaven's sound, Dreamcrush is creeping its way into my personal top 10 of 2026. Great album, also on the heavier side from a pure Shoegaze perspective, but it scratches that itch really well.

10:12 - no one

Definitely wouldn't call deafheaven straight shoegaze

10:08 - corrupt

Concerts here are pretty packed, if not sold out entirely, usually. Even the smaller bands have a lot of pull. I count bands like Deafheaven more into Metalgaze, though. Their music is heavier than the video I posted.

09:37 - Roman Doez

Well tbf it is a relatively niche genre, not that surprising

09:20 - ANGEL REAPER

@Roman Doez nope, outside MS really no one is onto it from my broad surrounding. Like I swear i saw it this is big or constantly discussed on MS only. Seriously, I am not trolling, like I never heard of them.

09:17 - Roman Doez

Deftones have shoegaze inspirations on some of their albums but I wouldn't call any of them straight up shoegaze. Deafheaven are though.
