My First Time Listening to Roads To Judah by Deafheaven | My Reaction 

Loved deafheaven for so long. It's so awesome to watch someone experience their stuff for the first time! You've got great commentary and musical knowledge/terminology. Great stuff

Judah is such a compositionally rich album. I think if they had the resources for better recording and mixing when it was made it would be one of their best.

I think it's time for "Ordinary Corrupt Human Love". For me a perfect 10/10 record and my fav from Deafheaven.

Violet is otherworldly. A perfect track. Great reaction Molly! I love your Deafheaven reactions and analysis. OCHL is one of my favorite albums ever so I can’t wait to see it!

Violet is a wonderful track. Absolutely gorgeous track. And Tunnel of Trees's ending is just ecstatic. I'm enjoying your journey across Deafheaven's discography so much!!! The fact that you get goosebumps listening to their music is so relatable :D If you enjoyed the melodic ending of Tunnel as well as the more melodic parts of Infinite Granite, you'll love many tracks on OCHL. The opening track is soooo good! Can't wait for your video!

The man who founded the show gaze band Whirr played guitar in Deafheaven for this album during this era. You can hear many similarities between the bands because of this.

As always, really look forward to your reviews.

Your reactions are always spot on. Yes, Deafheaven used shoegaze elements from the start. They also have the live in lockdown album 10 Years Gone that I thought wouldn't be essential, but turned out to be one of my favorites. The album feels like all the best moments of Deafheaven keep building and never let up. Kind of when you need an ultimate Deafheaven fix!

Hi! Great reaction, and analysis Not sure if i am too late on this, but, before Deafheaven, George and Kerry had a deathgrind band called Rise of Caligula, album Parading from Heavens descent which set a foundation of what Deafheaven will be. Worth checking out 😊

8:32 Love this point. It ties into the vocals as well for me, because they’re different on every album. I liked your comment on that in your Infinite Granite review, ”it’s like growling”. 6:37 This is the part where I knew this was a special band. Harsh vocals over a soft, lone, slow guitar was something I’d never heard before, but it very much resonated with me. That instantly set Deafheaven apart from other bands for me and they haven’t lost me for a second since then. Fantastic video.

this album when I first heard it was game changing it just was so fresh and exciting.

Listen to OCHL!! I know you're going to get to it someday, but that day needed to be YESTERDAY! I need this!! Lol

OCHL needs a reaction ASAP!

your reviews are always so insightful .. you should be teaching Music History classes ; it sounds like you really enjoy talking about music and can appreciate a different array of genres

Violet is my favorite the other one being Tunnel of trees Bands i also recommend are Lantlos, Neon is the best album from them and the singer was Neige who is in Alcest Envy, Deafheaven toured with them Envy is a japanese Post rock, Screamo band really good band and they're best album in my opinion is Insomniac Doze Alcest, The singer Neige (Stéphane Paut) was in Please remember track in Sunbather the guy who was speaking best album, in my opinion, is souvenirs d'un autre monde

Great review

I'm torn between Roads to Judah & Ordinary Corrupt Human Love as my second favourite album of theirs after Sunbather. Roads to Judas is more consistent, but OCHM had the singles that really turned me into a Deafheaven fan. I'd also recommend the singles From the Kettle onto the Coil, Daedalus & Black Brick. They're all great tracks, but were never featured on a studio album.

Hey an album that I don't have to listen to first before watching your video. All joking aside, this album is killer and I think is a really good debut at showing where the band would go. As you mentioned, the elements that remind you of Sunbather are taken and refined for that album and same with the New Bermuda sounding stuff. This might be close to a perfect album if it weren't for the production which could be better. Still an amazing album though, especially for a debut. Also, you're totally on point with the percussion. Daniel Tracy is a beast of a drummer. Here are two more suggestions if you want more music similar enough to Deafheaven: As Above, So Below by Vvilderness and CLG J02182-05102 by Mesarthim. These albums aren't blackgaze like Deafheaven but they do have a similar beauty in the instrumentation. These albums also go along well the the Harakiri for the Sky and Alcest albums I suggested on the New Bermuda video. Lastly, and totally off topic, but I know you are a CHVRCHES fan and if you haven't listened to Mercurial World by Magdalena Bay you really should. It's my second favorite synth-pop album of the year behind Screen Violence and my fifth favorite album of the year right now.

3:53 goosebumps are the best 👍🏻

Listen to their demo(:

Hearing this, parts of it reminded me a bit of Burzum - Filosofem. But I guess that is to be expected.

Violet is still their best song ever.

Have you already reacted to Jinjer - Pisces (Live Session)?

No está nada mal , no lo había escuchado antes.👀👍👩‍🎤

All Fours by Bosse De Nage next!

Well damn, if I knew you were reacting to stuff such as this I would've recommended some similar stuff but better IMO. "From the Gallery of Sleep" and "Lift Your Existence" by Night Verses The 1st one I mentioned is all instrumental save for audio extracts from movies and stuff. The 2nd one has vocals but are mostly clean and some screaming. I recommend the tracks Phoenix VI: Levitation and Drift "Nocturnal" by The Black Dahlia Murder This album is wonderful from beginning to end but it is pretty much all heavy, so when you're in the mood for it it is a pretty neat cosmic horror concept album. Unlike most heavy metal screamers, Trevor is really good. "The Flesh Prevails" and "Dreamless" by Fallujah. Both of these albums incorporate heavy but melodic parts just like Night Verses (forgot to mention that) and you'll find yourself rising high into sadness when the heavy fades. Some really great ambient electronic tracks too. Also, speaking of electronic, check out Aphex Twin and Electrocado.

Have any of your viewers mentioned an Australian group named Karnivool? I’ve been meaning to write, I think I might be a hit for you! Hope you consider listening!! I love what I’ve viewed from your channel :)

look up too Wolves in the Throne Room

Please react to Batushka...

You need some Converge in your life. Start with Jane Doe, it's gonna blow you away :)

If you think this is unrelenting you should try listening to the bands who inspired this one. Check out Immortal and Bathory!

It’s funny the bell sound you were talking about is actually what’s called the bell on the ride cymbal of any given drum set. Not a lot of people utilize it but I love it
