I knew this was gonna be good, but by no means did I expect this. Deafheaven have really knocked it out the park.
LPWP is a concise summary of everything the band is known for and so much more. Start to finish, this LP is a blessing on the ears, boasting excellently produced blackgaze that remains surprising, contrasting, and intentional.
This one’s gonna be on repeat for a while.
Breathtaking…

This LP is more concise than its predecessors, but for all the better. The prominence of strings elevates the atmosphere and the production seems just about right for what Panopticon aims to achieve, and they do so with flying blackened colours
Some elements realllly hit the fulcrum of shoegaze, dream pop and blackgaze, but I feel like the last two tracks are just immemorable and Melting Sun just doesn't really lead anywhere interesting.
I can’t get over just how THICK and luscious this album sounds. The guitar tones are impactful and the bass is as present as ever. Kenny’s vocals are crystal and the drumming is just stellar.
There’s still plenty for me to absorb (especially in the second half), but even on the first listen ‘In Verses’ was certainly worth the thirteen year wait
so this is that new-fangled Thrash Metal the kids are listening to these days….
