some of you might laugh at those two guys in the front, but I personally think it's a beautiful display of devotion to the band's music. they were awaiting those first tones of Dream House and once it happened, they were engulfed by immeasurable joy, a life-changing event. and I don't care if it seems cringeworthy to somebody...
Cringeworthy to those who haven't been to a show, or who refuse to comprehend a 4-guitar +bass wall of distortion as a legitimate means of musical expression, or pretend- screaming into a microphone as a valid way to reach an audience. Those two blokes in front are offering up their joyful energy to their dark priest of angst to empower and thank him for his resonant, gutteral leadership. I personally enjoyed 2014's album 'Sunbather' as my entree into dark metal/shoegaze; I like their later stuff a little better.
@@fluxoff your first line is exactly what I was gonna say. Idk who the main comment was towards but yeah. The only people who think they'd look weird are people whove obviously never seen a band they like. Ahhhh. Man. Anyway, I missed these guys when they came to my town and I regret it alot. I miss good shows
This song is everything to me when I throw it on. Everything. And every time I'm utterly convinced that the last 4 minutes are the best 4 minutes of music that I've ever heard. It's almost perfect. I saw Deafheaven live in Manchester, UK and my friend and I agreed that if they started with Dream House we would leave as soon as it finished. They did and when the final note rang out we didn't even look at each other, we just walked out. That might sound ridiculous to you but my only experience of seeing this band ended with me hearing the most glorious 4 minutes of minutes that mean everything to me. No regrets. I'd do it again, no question.
I would have lost myself in the sound, too...to me these guys act more normal than so many others, cause they lived in this special moment and didn't gave a fuck, of what others might could think of them.
watch the kid in the dark-rimmed glasses at 2:57... As soon as that first chord hits, he lets the music overcome him and slowly raises his arm up with his eyes closed... epic shit. Gives me chills. THIS IS WHY MUSIC EXISTS.
I was right behind the camera man. The dude and his friend let loose the entire show. It was like a religious experience for them. I’ll never forget it.
I dunno about you people, but this song kind of heals me. Like when I'm going through some really bad times, I play this and feel myself full of energy, like this creates a harmony that sings right through me and takes everything away.
I'm not even gonna talk shit about the crowd in this video. To me it's refreshing to see a such diverse group of people gathered in a musical context. At a metal show no less. That's what music's all about. Not who's wearing what or who sounded like who first.
Biggest compliment a band can get is looking at a crowd and seeing a really diverse audience who are all enjoying it. Means the music transcends genres and is timeless in some respect because so many different people enjoy it.
I wasn't aware that concerts are about being as br00tal as possible and not about enjoying the music. If you worry about what the crowd does more than how great the music is performed then you're going to concerts for the wrong reason.
I love how everyone thinks Sunbather is a "happy" sounding album because it's in a major key mostly, but the whole album is about drug addiction and disillusionment.
where has this kind of music been all of my life? ... I wanna go to one of these shows... are these guys still together??? I hope they are... I need to be one of those kids in the front letting themselves be engulfed in such beautiful music... and the vocalist reaching his hands over the man at 11:05... magestic... and beautiful... omg
My only issue with metal is the labels and rivalries fans put on themselves, but one of the reasons why deafheaven is such a great band is that its for everyone! Every fan of great music can come together and rock out to these guys, don't judge someone because the don't "look the part" or sing the lyrics wrong, they're passionate about the music, the music, that's what it all comes down to
@@Onche518 i can hear the influence, almost every band takes a lot from other bands, but their sound and chord choices are very unique and distinct, i still haven't heard any band that sounded similar to the Sunbather album
Saw them live in Berlin a few weeks ago. One of the best concerts I've ever seen. Your video captures it all. Even back then: so much love for the music, so much beauty, intensity. And those fans, that's what it was like here too. Thanks a lot for sharing this! :)
So maybe 5 or 6 years ago I discovered this band,,, I didn't really listen to this kind of music before these guys. I wish I remembered how I found them .. but the sentiments remain the same when I listen. I feel a nostalgia of a life thats not my own,,
We all exist in the brief and immeasurable moment of now. Everyone in this video is 9 years older then they are shown here. The men in the front rows loosing themselves in this beautiful, magical song are in their (say mid 30s?) now. This moment happened once and will never happen again. Everything is so precious, I saw deaf heaven live two days ago and experienced pure magic and I will never get that moment back. It was and is so so so utterly beautiful. What absolute bearably unbearable beauty, to feel so alive and human and brief. Infinite granite- these frequencies are real and yet one day all of us will be gone. The only proof of our existence is now. To feel and live as this crowd is, the boys in the front are on this night 9 years ago. !!!
I'm going to blow some minds here, please take a seat. Sometimes in very rare cases a band from a sub-genre blows up because they are actually good.... take a min, let that sink in... big stuff huh?
Called out of work to see this show. Well worth it. The crowd was amazing and this kids in the front were losing their shit. Can't wait to see Deafheaven again.
6/29/13 was my 36th birthday. I live in Raleigh. Found this band in 2015. So sad i wasn't in front row with those 2 legends absolutely losing myself to this masterpiece.
I was 17-18 when this came out it’s be 8 years and this album has remained an actual timeless masterpiece in modern metal this album emotionally gripped me and took me places no band could this isn’t my favorite band that goes to Alice In Chains but these boys definitely in the top 10 and they have become more than just a black metal band their name truly resonates with the music and albums they’ve come to create. Thank you to the uploader for this beautiful jewel of a video.
Bane's Super Brutal Metal Funtime Exactly. This is good. So is shit like Black Witchery. I feel like people do not get just how broad black metal is. That's one of the things that's so awesome about it.
I saw this band set up their gear, sound check, and then leave for 10 minutes with "drone organ" going. And then they come back out with this grand entrance, as if no one saw them yet.
YES the kid in the glasses makes this memorable. At about 2:25 the kid and the front man share a gaze and in that very moment I think he was inseminated with the seed of the Beast. Great Quality as well.
[Part I] Hindered by sober restlessness Submitting to the amber crutch The theme in my aching prose The theme in my aching prose Fantasizing the sight of Manhattan Fantasizing the sight of Manhattan Manhattan That pour of a bitter red being That escapes a thin frame A bitter red being The rebirth of mutual love The rebirth of mutual love The slipping on gloves to lay The slipping on gloves to lay tenderly The slipping on gloves to lay tenderly The slipping on gloves to lay The slipping on gloves to lay tenderly The slipping on gloves to lay Slipping on gloves Gloves, gloves Slipping on gloves [Part II- Instrumental] [Part III] "I'm dying." - "Is it blissful?" "It's like a dream." - "I want to dream." "I'm dying." - "Is it blissful?" "It's like a dream." - "I want to dream." - "I want to dream." - "I want to dream." - "I want to dream." With you
I thought it was a stereotype but the fanbase of this band are really composed of mostly "Hipsters" lol at least they show passion, I will give them that, and this song is sick btw.
