Deafheaven Announce North American Tour Dates, Debut New Track With Clean Singing
Modern blackgazers Deafheaven have announced a full North American tour for 2021 and 2022. The band has also released the new track, “The Gnashing,” which continues to be led by George Clarke’s clean singing voice.
Deafheaven’s newest album, Infinite Granite, has been given an Aug. 20 release date via Sargent House. As heard on “Great Mass of Color,” Clarke’s “trademark, black metal-inspired vocals [are] mostly absent.” “The Gnashing” is a full-on shoegaze cut thanks to Clarke’s singing, which has received mixed reviews in the song’s YouTube comments section.
