Baroness and Deafheaven Team Up to Take on Terminal 5 on Friday Night

As part of their North American tour in support of the forthcoming Gold & Grey (out in June), Baroness stop in New York City this week to play Terminal 5. The new album—which was mastered by Flaming Lips collaborator Dave Fridmann—is the Savannah, Ga., four-piece’s follow-up to the 2015 long-player Purple (stream it here). Singer John Baizley designed the cover art, and it’s their first album that features Gina Gleason, who replaced bassist Peter Adams. San Francisco quintet Deafheaven are currently out on the road with Baroness, touring behind their fourth studio album, last year’s Ordinary Corrupt Human Love (stream it here). Experimental and heavy, Deafheaven’s sound is atmospheric and uncompromising, and there’s no doubt, frenzied mosh pits will be alive and well when they come to town. Negotiating a tightrope between tender melodies and dynamic strength, Swiss avant-garde metal six-piece Zeal & Ardor—touring behind Stranger Fruit (stream it here)—provide support. This unique lineup of three very different acts with distinct styles and sounds will provide something for every heavy music fan at Terminal 5 on Friday night. —Elizabeth Ramanand | @Lizochka

Deafheaven – Brooklyn Steel – July 24, 2018

Who says tambourine isn’t metal? I suppose quite a lot of people. But that’s missing the point, at least when it comes to Deafheaven, the beloved San Francisco post-metal band. Occasional tambourine-wielder George Clarke, the group’s vocalist, is no flower child—far from it. But last night, he was something of a siren, his lithe, leather-clad body moving about the stage, his hair snapping back and forth and his screams seducing a packed Brooklyn Steel. Deafheaven rolled into Kings County touring behind their 2018 long-player, Ordinary Corrupt Human Love. It’s their second album since 2013’s breakout Sunbather, a record that cemented the band’s fame—and triggered a not insignificant number of metal heads.

As to why, the openers on Tuesday (both fantastic) were a tip-off. Between Uniform, a local hardcore-heavy threesome, and L.A.’s Drab Majesty, a spacey, costume-clad Duran Duran, slipped through the 0s and 1s of the digital era, Deafheaven fall somewhere in the middle. This is not classic metal, nor is it New Wave. Clarke is a screamer, that’s certain, but Deafheaven’s atmospheric guitars, thanks in large part to guitarist Kerry McCoy, make clear that the band’s out for more than doom and gloom. They are true musicians’ musicians, capable of constructing beautiful music, shot through with shoegaze and posi alt rock. (Read: I saw at least three men in Slowdive shirts.)

“Honeycomb,” the first single off Ordinary, opened the performance, an expansive anthem with soaring guitar solos that can pull tears from your eyes (at least for one reviewer) and leave you dancing by song’s end. “Brought to the Water,” the single off 2015’s New Bermuda, went deepest into the five-piece’s black-metal roots, its moody buildup like an impending storm cloud. During the encore, Clarke’s voice got Creature from the Deep on deep cut “From the Kettle onto the Coil,” the band’s go signal for onlookers to get absolutely wild. (The moshers ran with it.) But it was “Dream House,” off Sunbather, arguably their most recognizable song, that closed the show for good, a stunner that sent Brooklyn on its way, hearts full, ears tingling. Deafheaven are a band to see live. In many ways, their music is physical and bracing, yes, but the group’s stylistic influences are made especially evident in person too. Go if you have the chance: It will be a heart-swelling headbanger of a night. —Rachel Brody | @RachelCBrody
