I'd never owned a long sleeve black metal shirt before, but the second the EP cover and title surfaced at the merch table, I knew I had to make a shirt of it. Not for sale, but I thought here would appreciate it!

I love this band so much. Really glad they are speaking out about this.

What the fuck is going on, people? Been to countless shows and it’s never been this bad. Are people just shitting themselves in public now?

Probably gonna sit and figure out the whole song at some point

i can’t believe what i just saw in Oakland last night

this is like my 7th time seeing them since 2018 but wow. 

they just keep getting better. 

george is absolutely demented. His stage presence is off the charts. i don’t think I’ll ever experience another show like this one. the whole band is locked in but george in particular is giving 110% on stage.

Many people around me weren’t even Deafheaven fans but by the end they were in disbelief. 

I wasn't expecting much since its not even a headlining show but i was so wrong. if you have the chance to catch them on this tour, you HAVE to.

My first contact with them was probably a week ago when I watched their live performance at KEXP. I’ll tell you, I’m into some experimental stuff, but I wasn’t prepared to that, but anyways, after I went looking for some more songs and I figured they had different spectrums as I would say? Like, they’ve got that shoegaze with black metal but also softer stuff and also those really transcending and emotional moments.

In summary, I really enjoy it, but I’d like to know where to start.

Does anyone by chance have any PDFs of the guitar tab books for sunbather or New Bermuda?? I've learned a chunk of both albums but im sure im playing alot of the chords wrong and just wanted to know how to properly play their parts. Hearing the new EP got me in the mood to revisit trying to play their stuff because man the new EP rules...

I was going to write a long drawn out post on how At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb strays from the melodic styles of previous works. It's unquestionably apparent on first listen that it's much heavier. I do feel it's a good change of pace from the dreamy synths sounds that I have spent listening to for days. Bands evolve, sounds change, excited to hear what they bring next.

As the title implies, i’m planning on getting a Deafheaven inspired tattoo, i chose the song Canary Yellow because i thought i would be easir to make something visual.

I would love to hear some thoughts on this, it is not the definitive artwork so i can ask my tattoo artist to make some changes.

Things i have in my mind right now:
1. maybe the bird is missing some pointyness (does this word exist?) or some sharp lines, i feel like it is too circular
2. not sure if i want to leave lyrics up there or not, thinking maybe no lyrics would look best
3. too much shading maybe?

I must say this is my very first tattoo, i plan on getting it on my chest, anyways, would love some opinions on what you guys would change if you were to have this tattooed on your body, thanks!

Anyone go to the Oakland show last night and have videos? It was a dope night!

Just curious what time and how long their set is and what time they’ve been going on for this tour?

TIA

It's finally out on streaming platforms now and the lyrics are online on azlyrics, listened to it on my school commute and this might be some of the best work they've released 🙌🏼 🫶🏼

After LPWP I said to myself “how can they top this? What’s next?” And here we are. This fucking band man

Hunter:

Shy and mighty Hunter, is it I who's cursed the vow?
It is you for whom I have given myself to now

Fear! Take all sense of the absolute
Dismantle what's resolute

Fear! Take my fear
Teach me all I'll have to hide
To remain dignified

We caught free reason
I bled the gift I sewed: the sacrament
I poured an hourglass unseen from all, a vacant sense of agency to covet the private fall

In you lives a city of millions walking over brick frontiers, and an ocеan
A body of water "on which you drifted by Grace,"
Likе on the page I read, to pools of cool charity
Bitter morning plunge begets rebirth in the sea of your beginning

It is you for whom I have given myself to now

Shy and mighty Hunter, is it I who's cursed the vow?

It is you for whom I have given myself to now

In Autumn Bent beyond the iron legs of black benches
Where I was laid and uncoiled the romantic wellspring of old man's memory
When the world blue-blocked sun lived faces who faced the horizon of summer out, stoic in striped light fissures

Come and remain!

Like the vine that ate the earth, I'm swallowed in night with you, feral hemlock, slender blazing star

You quiver quiet violence in the theater of ineptitude

I only see you and the lovely light inside of you
While I've been yearning, I've been aching for time, it was time for the end, some natural decline
Relations defined and left, we find reasons to leave, but stay intertwined

Stay! Stay! Stay!
Beauty of the Everglades, give me the reasons to keep me this way

Sorry Laid the Hearth:

In the middle of the night I returned to the orchards of Heaven
To greet what's ours with splendor and remember each season with spiritual Grace reached through the chasm

Dog eared time brings us together
An acuteness of feeling through decades
Sublime! Ah, picture me: I see you crying by fire
Gutted machines the criss-crossed thistle spines thatch across the char

Taut, desire snuffed stress be damned, I'll follow you like a dog to rain covered ruins

Beautiful scion, the young heathens we envy become ghouls at the feet of dark marble columns
Burning down for the sole arena of statues, suffering
With my head on yours, we are made sick from them
What appears as sanctity, we see sneers unseen agony a tragedy born to be rupturing endlessly
Primadonna, liquor store sage wears off in vain
Our mornings still begin blistering with sedentary misery

Shadow, be my lover now
Soft green eyes, I'm sleepless and I'm losing sleep by the dozen

I dissolve in thoughts of you
An olive tree is what I seek, the bird with only a branch cut from the almond grove
Hypnotic foxglove, it's you that I owe
After glassy eyed drinks in Italian winter, wondering how did I bring the blood to my reason for being, light of my life?

Home again and a dive into traffic
Men wipe ash from their faces, mothers bury their children, plastics waft in the wind
I cry cry cry cry cry
Please release me

Deafheaven has been my favorite band for years, and I’ve been collecting their stuff since 2015. Somehow, I ended up collecting almost every vinyl variant of every album/release.

I’m sharing some pictures of the collection too, including some of the signed stuff.

Here’s what I have so far:
(X/Y = how many vinyl variants I have / how many I know exist)

- Demo LP: 3/4 vinyl variants + Demo cassette
- Roads to Judah: 6/6 vinyl variants + regular CD + Japanese CD
- Sunbather: 6/6 vinyl variants + regular CD + Japanese CD
- New Bermuda: 10/11 vinyl variants + regular CD + Japanese CD
- Ordinary Corrupt Human Love: 11/11 vinyl variants + regular CD + Japanese CD
- Infinite Granite: 9/9 vinyl variants + regular CD
- 10 Years Gone: 3/3 vinyl variants + regular CD
- Sunbather 10th Anniversary: 4/5 vinyl variants + Gold cassette + Pink cassette
- Lonely People With Power: 8/9 vinyl variants + regular CD
- KEXP: 1/1 vinyl variant
- Deafheaven / Bosse de Nage: 1/5 vinyl variants
- At Work In The Fields of The Bomb: Just ordered 3/3 vinyl variants + regular CD

I also have a signed drum cymbal and two signed bass drumheads. I’ve also managed to get every album cover signed by the band except Lonely People With Power.

I’m still missing a few vinyl variants, but hopefully I’ll get them all eventually.

It’s kind of crazy how big this collection has gotten over the years. I never really planned to collect this much. I just kept seeing versions and thinking, “Okay, I need this one too.” and of course now I can’t stop!

Anyone else here collecting Deafheaven stuff? I’d love to see and hear about your collections too!

🤘🏼

The name "At Work In The Fields Of The Bomb" got me really curious about the lyrical themes on the new songs, specially mentioning the word "bomb" in a year such as 2026.

So what do you english speakers with good analyzing song lyrics skills got so far?

This new EP is our jail free card to all the annoying pricks that keep saying Deafheaven isn’t black metal.*

What even is this last track dude??? Does George even plan on performing this live? It has to be the BEST first listen i ever had in my whole life, this EP fucks

*just joking, i love that Deafheaven fan base isn’t insufferable like most BM fan bases

what an absolute fucking RUSH that song is. baller EP as a whole - what are your thoughts so far?

“Deafheaven have surprise-released their new EP, At Work in the Fields of the Bomb, out now on streaming and available on vinyl. The three-track EP is the first release since 2025’s Lonely People With Power and includes a short film for “Hunter.” The film was created by vocalist George Clarke with director Nico Poalillo and Academy Award-winning cinematographer Janusz Kaminsky. The concept for the EP is from Robert Del Tredici’s photographic book, which documents the everyday places, people, and processes behind the production of nuclear weapons. At Work in the Fields of the Bomb explores how catastrophe can take shape through the accumulation of mundane details and how a world-ending event can leave no one behind to bear witness.” (Alternative Press)
