Deafheaven

American black-metal trailblazers Deafheaven announce their return to New Zealand this July, presented by Banished Music. The band will perform an exclusive headline show in Auckland, joined by special guests Erase Everything.

Formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2010, Deafheaven have spent the past decade and a half pushing at the emotional and sonic boundaries of modern metal. From their debut Roads to Judah, to the genre-defining breakthrough Sunbather, and subsequent records like New Bermuda, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love, and Infinite Granite, Deafheaven have continually redefined the limits of heavy music while confronting themes of alienation, addiction, family history, and self-perseverance.

Revered for their transcendental live shows, Deafheaven have toured the world over, performing at festivals such as Coachella and Primavera Sound, and sharing stages with artists ranging from Slipknot and Knocked Loose to Chelsea Wolfe and Mono. They’ve received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Metal Performance and continue to command a reputation as one of the most compelling live acts in heavy music.

Deafheaven return to New Zealand at their most expansive and unrelenting. Don’t miss the chance to witness one of heavy music’s most boundary-pushing bands at full force.
